I’ll admit I was a little reluctant when Dee suggested we invite our significant others onto the podcast (my husband, Kevin, and her life partner, Eli). What would we talk about? As it turns out, we had a lot to talk about. And Dee was right, these two were be perfect guests to lead us into Father’s Day. They are both wonderful dads, and they have a lot of ideas on how to spend quality time with your kids in Omaha.
