Post It Love Notes

Here's a really easy way to show your loved ones how much you appreciate them. Loved one can include a significant other, but this would also work for kids to leave for their parents, and even a few would fit for a parent to leave for their kids to find!

You only need two things for this thoughtful little project. First, go to Sugardoodle, print off the 3x3 Post It template and fill your template with blank post-it notes.

Next, click on the image below to take you to the download I'm sharing of little love notes. Once you've downloaded the PDF, place your template with the blank notes into your printer and hit print!


Leave them around the house for your loved one to discover!

A Simple Valentine

I've been spotting the toilet paper roll heart paintings all over Pinterest and figured it would be perfect for my last minute valentines we needed to get mailed.


The kids had a great time making a dozen cards for family (and Tayden's best friend) and it was a really easy craft for them (1.5 and 3 years old).



I put myself in charge of addressing the envelopes because I just found these stamps that I used to play with as a child! The full alphabet! They make me real happy.



So if you've been too busy to get anything done before today, fret not! Grab a roll, paint and a blank card. Have fun!

Singles Awareness Day Remembered

I remember one Valentines Day in 4th grade where my boyfriend brought me a plate full of stale chocolates. We didn't last long.
I remember one Valentines Day in college when my mom sent my roommate and I a care package with heart underwear in it. They were suprisingly comfortable.
I remember one Valentines Day when Rich made me chocolate covered peanut butter bon bons. We've lasted :)

I remember one Valentines Day in 5th grade where I didn't get a card from a girl in my class I had a crush on. I was heart broken.
I remember one Valentines Day when I took Christen out to a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean and we had our first kiss.
I remember one Valentines Day when we first moved to Oregon and we had a fabulous dinner at Timberline Lodge. On the drive home, I took a wrong turn due to snow and didn't realize it until an hour later down the road.
