A monthly online magazine chock-full of insightful articles for busy mothers.

I can take my three year old son anywhere and he is a perfect angel, as
long as he has his “guys”. His “guys” are a wide range of superhero men.
We have Ironman, Spiderman, Batman, Army Men, Ice Man, Wolverine,
Transformer Guys, Lego Guys, and Cool Dudes in one huge bin that continues to grow.
I love his imagination, and I particularly love that he always wants to be
the good guy. I hope this lasts forever.

I want to pay tribute to our own superhero “guys.” The dads, granddads,
Uncles, Brothers, Coaches, Teaches and friends that are in our lives daily.
Our own real superheros that go unacknowledged, but have huge
superpowers.

Ironman is the guy that gets up and heads out to work every day. My
husband is an ironworker so this relates well. The ironman can’t get sick, take
days off, or have a slow paced morning. He needs to get to work to
support his family who counts on him. Every man has to be ironman, built without
batteries, made to last, because he has to.

Batman is the man they become when they have to quickly fly home to take
the children to baseball, soccer, basketball, dance, school functions, and
all at a moments notice when the bat phone rings.

Transformer Guy is the man who must get home from work and become another
person. He isn’t the foreman anymore, the boss, the accountant or the
teacher. He is now “Super Coach”. He must quickly and rapidly change hats,
grab equipment and head to the field where all the kids are counting on him
to coach them to baseball success.

Lego Guy is the man who realizes that he just can’t let things fall apart.
No matter how well put together, there is always something in the home
that is breaking, in need of fixing, in need of care. Lego guy has to
reconstruct, remove and replace the surroundings that keep his family safe and
sound.

Ice Man- well this is easy- this is the man who has his wife planning a
family event or childrens party and must run to the nearest store to get the
ice she just ran out of! Add to that list, the many other last minute
soda, chips or napkins we need!

Army Man, this is the guy who has to discipline, keep in a straight line,
encourage and teach the most important little army. The army of his
children.

Cool Dudes are the men who have to pick up that diaper bag and carry it
with them to functions with a big smile on their face. Often these men will
disguise the flowery Winnie the pooh bag by replacing it with a Yankee
Duffle Bag, I can spot these cool dudes from a mile away.

Wolverine is the guy with knives for hands. Not a pretty picture as I
see it, but Wolverine is the man who barbeques his families steak, slices the
meat and carves the turkey. He can also use these to cut the grass I
assume, so it fits.

My favorite Spiderman. I saved him for last because this is what I am
most thankful for. Spiderman is the man who throws out his web and takes all
of the family under it. My husband has webbed together his children with
mine and together we are a family.

Now, if they only made an ATM Man, we would be set.

Thank you for all that you do, for all that you are….

Much Love,
Wonder Woman
