Father's Day Is this coming Sunday ☀️
Dear KuierKos Family,
Father's Day is just one week away, and we want to make sure we have enough delicious treats to spoil all the dads in our lives.
What better way to celebrate Dad than with something homemade and comforting from the heart?
In our household, we know exactly how to spoil Andreas: a lekker steak, a glass of red wine, and a generous serving of warm malva pudding. Sometimes, it's the simple things that make someone feel truly special.
I love the Dutch saying iemand in het zonnetje zetten — literally, "to put someone in the sunshine." It means making someone feel appreciated and celebrated. Father's Day is the perfect opportunity to do just that.
As I was thinking about Father's Day, I realised how blessed our children are to have Andreas as their dad.
He has endless patience with our children. I am usually the strict one, but Andreas is the one who always makes a plan. If Anne is running late for work, he'll get her there. If Paul needs a lift to school because he simply wants some extra time to talk with his dad, Andreas makes the time.
Over the years, he has also been a father figure to many South African au pairs, taking them to the station, picking them up, and helping them feel at home. He has supported numerous students through difficult decisions and important moments in their lives.
What I admire most is the special relationship he has with Anne and Paul. He genuinely wants to know what music they're listening to. From rock to R&B, the music is often playing loudly in the car while they sing along together. They also love watching science-fiction movies, films I would never choose to watch with them! Yet those moments have created memories and connections that will last a lifetime.
Most importantly, our children know that their dad always has time for them.
That is one of the greatest gifts a father can give.
From our family to yours, we wish all the dads a very happy Father's Day.
And if you're planning to spoil your dad with a delicious meal, don't forget to place your KuierKos order soon so we can make this Father's Day extra special.
With love,
Marnella
