pop love notes – Blessings Multiplied

“Thanks for always rooting for me!” (IBC Root Beer) and “Thanks for always being our ‘sweet’ girl!”

Every once in awhile when the girls and Jake are gone or busy with something else I will pull together a surprise. I am thankful for my family and blessed with a wonderful husband and two sweet girls. Life is not always “perfect” but it is fun.

Spending a few minutes to show appreciation to my husband or my kids is worth every minute I invest. The best part is I do it at random times when they are not around so it truly is a surprise. This gift was originally given to Jake and the girls on Thanksgiving Day but it can be applied very easily to Valentine’s Day celebrations as well.

If you are looking for something easy yet sweet to do this Valentine’s Day this was one that my family enjoyed. After putting together your gift I challenge you to go one step further make a commitment to continue being a blessing to the ones you love by surprising them with a sweet note, treat, or something special throughout the rest of the year. Try to make it part of your routine whether it is once a week, every other week or once a month. Showing your care makes an impact on the lives of others.

I came up with the sayings for the girls heart “love” notes – Thanks for always being our “sweet” Brina (or Karlie)! Love, Mom and Dad The cute “pop” love note is from Darling Doodles. She has a template you can print out if your interested in doing something similar for your spouse!

I LOVE everything you dew!

A few weeks ago I discovered these cute “pop” love notes from Darling Doodles and have been enjoying adding these love notes to my stash of ones to give to Jake! 🙂 He enjoys drinking Mountain Dew so when it goes on sale I try to get a little for him. This particular love note was a great one to give to my man!

When Jake is coming home after being away with work for several days or if he has had a tough day I try to do something special to cheer him up. I will put the surprises in various visible places throughout the house (his side of the garage, kitchen, his desk, our dresser, on his plate at the table, etc…) where I know he will be. Although, he never knows when I am doing it or where I will put it he always finds it. On this particular day he was stressed with a lot on his plate with work, travel arrangements, family and everything else. I decided it was a good day to put out a special surprise for him to say “I love you”! The Mountain Dew and sweet note sitting on the dresser downstairs in our family room was the first thing he saw walking into the house and it did bring a smile which made it worth it for me!

Sometimes taking just a few minutes out of your day to show your spouse you are thinking about them and that you care can make all the difference. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time, money or effect but the benefits will go a long way. Doing something special for them could mean packing their lunch for work the next day, laying out their clothes the night before, or even leaving a love note on their pillow. Investing time and energy into your marriage is always good for the entire family. How do you cheer your spouse up or make them feel appreciated?
