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
