• Gift Giving: Breakfast in Bed

    Occasionally for a birthday or Holiday I create Gift Coupons for the girls (or Jake) for their present.  The gift coupons include a variety of fun activities – get out of one chore, breakfast in bed, one big bear hug, and more.  The girls will sometimes save their coupons for months before redeeming them.  It is so sweet to see them cherish the little things like fun coupons I created just for them.  I have learned that when the coupon is redeemed to just stamp the back with the date stamp and let them keep it. Sometimes they will redeem the coupons simultaneously and other times they do it separately.  The breakfast in bed coupon is always a huge hit with the girls!

    I managed to sneak in a take a picture of them eating breakfast in bed, both of them were chatting away and enjoying their yogurt!
