Do you have an awesome father figure in your life? If so, I need to tell you about this incredible opportunity you have to honor your father figure by nominating him or her into the EntenMAN of the Year Father's Day Contest hosted by Entenmann's®. By doing so, you'll give them the opportunity to win amazing prizes, such as a Daytona Race Trip Package, an authentic race-used Entenmann's autographed driver fire suit, and/or a year supply of Entenmann's Donuts! From May 10 to June 21, nominate a father figure who inspires you, whether it be a dad, coach, teacher, or anyone else that has made a fatherly impact on your life. 

 

For me, I'll be nominating my father-in-law, Carl, otherwise known as Pop. 

 

Growing up, I never had a steady father figure in my life. I was never close to my own dad and had 4 different step-dads over the course of my youth. Coming from a broken home was tough, and I admit, when I first started dating my now husband, there were times that I felt super awkward visiting his parental home. I was very guarded and had my walls up, but Carl was patient and kind and gave me time to work through the misconceptions that I had about fathers and men in general. Pop is a committed family man, having celebrated 50 years of marriage to my beautiful mother-in-law just a few years ago, he was a dedicated delivery driver for a large soda company for over 40 years until his retirement, and one of the best and most honorable men I have ever met in my life. With his example on how a man should care and provide for his family, he gave my husband the tools he needed going into his own marriage to create a long and lasting partnership. He's the king of bad dad jokes, the slowest driver in the world, and will tell you a story for hours on end. He's definitely a talker! But he's always there when you need a helping hand, fatherly advice, or just plain good company. 

 

He's an amazing grandfather and took it in good stride when all he got was granddaughters. Though he did nickname Allison as Al since he so wanted his last grandbaby to finally be a boy LOL! (Don't worry, he eventually got 3 great grandsons that are turning his hair greyer faster than the granddaughters ever did!) 

He has a sweet tooth that is only beat by my mother-in-law's, never one to turn down my chocolate chip cookies, but boy was he excited when I told him I was partnering with Entenmann's and wanted to feature him in this post. He thinks he's going to be internet famous now, hehehe! So cute! But he was even more excited to bring his wife our leftover Entenmann's Donuts from our photo shoot because he knows that she loves them and he was going to score major hubby points with that move!

 

For me, Carl was the missing puzzle piece that I needed in my life. He may just be my father-in-law, but to me, he's that dad that I never knew I needed until he came along. He's the true definition of what it means to be an EntenMAN of the Year and I am honored to have him in my life.

 

If someone has made such an impact on your life, I hope you'll take the time to honor your father figure (male or female) into the EntenMAN of the Year Father's Day Contest. Remember, you have until June 21 to enter to win some pretty sweet prizes!
