  • Be My Valentine: “Love Bug” Notes

    Little ladybug “love” notes in the girls school lunches

    The girls love getting surprises in their lunch boxes.  I found these adorable ladybug notes (aka “love bug” notes in our house) and waited until I had a coupon to buy them at our local Hallmark store.  It is my intention to send a special note or treat with the girls lunches at least once a week (on a good week I do it 2 or 3 times).  In a time pinch I put these fun bugs on their sandwich containers or random places in their lunch.

    Fun note to remind the girls we love them

    Not only do these notes brighten the girls days it also encourages them to read.  The notes are cute and it only takes a minute to add them to their lunch box.

    Karlie’s Note – Buzzing by to say….. Consider yourself HUGGED!  Squeeeeeeeeze

    Karlie has been known to keep her “love” notes in her lunch box for weeks.  She gets so excited about the little notes that sometimes when I ask her how her day went the first thing she tells me about is the “love bug” she found in her lunch.

    Brina’s Note – A little buggy told me you’ve been working really hard.  You should feel so proud!

    Brina loves getting these notes in her lunch so much that she has a baggie full of them in her “special” drawer at home.  I know the girls appreciate these small reminders of our love.

    I love having these on hand to add a little bit of variety to the special surprises.You could pick up these or something similar at your local Hallmark store or find some online to print off or make up some of your own to print off.  What type of goodies do you put in your kids lunch boxes?
