Yes, and this month it is the "love" month.
As I type this, my daughter has collected all my hearts.
All of my glittery card board hearts I bought last year at Wal-mart that I strategically placed all over my the family and living room.
It made me think about my real heart...or hearts.
My awesome adorable husband and 6 awesome adorable children who have claimed a piece in my heart forever.
I hope I have a nice place in theirs.
That is my question....or questions....
I am sure they love me, they tell me everyday, as I tell them.
But....
Do I show enough love for my 7 favorite people on the planet?
Do I really try to bring love into my home?
I know daily scripture and prayer with my family will answer that question, but kids wont remember that.
I don't. I remember all the little things my mom did for me.
Am I truly showing them all the love I have?
I feel like I do.
But maybe I could do more.
I am so in love with them all.
Any ideas on what I could do?
I have a few ideas.
here's the thing...
Every Valentines day Jeff and I get something fabulous for the kids and I write a cutesy little note....
Something we didnt have enough money for for Christmas, and it is Income Tax Return time so...
One year was a Guitar Hero video game and I got a Guitar Hero poster and wrote a note that said, "You boys rock my world, will you be my Valentine?"
Emma got something equally cheesy, but she was only 7 months old and didn't really care.
I have made sugar cookie hearts and little baggies of candy.
I wanna do something different and VERY cheap.
It was a long December with no overtimes, so any extra "stuff" is not gonna happen.
I would love ideas so I don't have to waste hours on the Internet looking.
I would rather spend my few eatr minutes of spare time watching a princess movie with Emma, or goofing off with my boys.
I would love an day by day idea of showing my family i love them also.
And cleaning and caring for their daily needs doesn't count.
That is my job.
And I actually like it.
Most days.
