14 Days

of LOVE.

I am not very good at challenges. I was somewhat guilted into this challenge! But, in the end, it was fun and my family loved it.

What was the challenge? It was 14 days of love. Showing love to your family and others for the first 14 days of February.

I am a bit deplete in the creativity department. My friend who gave out the challenge has a HUGE list of ideas, which were great, but she is much more talented and creative than I.

Here is a list of things I did:

1. made cookies after church(which is somewhat big for me considering I have to make 2 kinds and I always come home from church and want to do NOTHING).

2. made beds and left a chocolate on the pillow.

3. folded and put away everyones laundry

4. bought these cute mailboxes in Targets dollar section and left a treat in their mailbox

5. made breakfast

6. treat in mailbox

7. cleaned bedrooms

8. treat in mailbox

9. treat in mailbox

10. made beds with chocolate on pillow

11. made cupcakes

12. made everyone lunch

13. got special treats for movie night

14. made their beds and left a box of chocolates and a love note on their bed!

As you can see, A LOT of food. I don't think I really put treats in their mailboxes that many times, but I have already forgotten some of the things I did. And if you are wondering why breakfast and lunch are on the list, the only people I ever make breakfast and lunch for are Brynn and myself. Every breakfast and lunch around here are self serve!

My family enjoyed this, and next year I will be much more prepared and do a better job. I had several things I was going to do, but because of late nights and other things that got in the way they will be saved for next year! Thanks Les for the challenge!
