I have a friend who every year challenges me, us, you to do 14 days of Love, leading up to Valentines Day.
This year, I thought I would be prepared. I AM NEVER PREPARED!! For much of anything.
So, I have been doing things, but not as thoughtful as I had hoped. I had grandiose thoughts, very unlikely to come to fruition.
Also, this year, she suggested and I decided that the things I/we do would not just be for our immediate family, we would do things for others.
Here are a few things I/we have done:
1. a treat on the bed
2. donation to Haiti Relief
3. donation to the local food bank
4. another treat in their Valentine mailbox
5. I did the chores for the day so the kids didn't have to
6. kids showed me love by cleaning the house
7. took cookies to a friend
8. treat in Valentine mailbox(big fan of this one)
I am not good with creative ideas, so some of them are not great, but the kids LOVE the treats in their mailbox! Only 6 more to go!
1. a pending snow storm(it forces us to stay home)
2. LOVE
3. clean bathrooms

you're way ahead of me...I'm tired in my bones. Maybe I'll make the Month of March my LOVE month?!?
Good for you! :) Valentine's is coming so quickly for me this year. {sigh}
With clean bathrooms ANYthing is possible!
Gotta love the valentine treat in the mailbox! YUM!
We had a LOVE themed FHE.
McKay said he felt like we were in THERAPY. It wasn't pretty. :)
No really, it was all good and fun.
I like your ideas...way to go!
I am proud of you! I want a treat.
Having clean bathrooms ought to count for all 14 days! (Especially if mom gets sick...)
:)
