\u00a0Our girls love horses!<\/p>\n

When I travel or am away from the girls for more than 24 hours I try to do something special for them.\u00a0 Many times I write a note and put it on their car seat or pillow or a place I know they will see.\u00a0 However, when I go on longer trips or happen to be away for several days I try to leave little gifts of love<\/em> to remind them that I am thinking about them even while I am gone.<\/p>\n

I left this Horses!<\/em><\/a> by Kathy Wilmore book for them to read while I was away on a trip earlier this year.\u00a0 On the book was a bright orange flower sticky note that said:<\/p>\n

Brina and Karlie,\u00a0 This is a book that both of you will enjoy about horses!\u00a0 I love you and think about you everyday.\u00a0 Looking forward to showing you pictures of our trip. Love , Mom<\/em><\/p>\n

I wrote the note following the circle shape of the flower so the girls thought it was fun to spin the note as they read it.\u00a0 They love this book and pull it out often to look at.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ice cream cone bubble gum holder!<\/p>\n

Two little ice cream cone bubble gum holders were left hanging off the piano for the girls to find.\u00a0 Another little gift of love <\/em>and special treat for my sweet girls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Easy craft gift of love<\/em> left for the girls – Pooh Paint with Water Book<\/p>\n

I found this Pooh Paint with book at Goodwill for 25 cents so I picked it up for the girls.\u00a0 It was a great simple craft that didn’t make a huge mess for those watching the girls while we were away.\u00a0 The yellow heart note reads:<\/p>\n

Brina and Karlie, Here’s a “fun” water painting book for you to enjoy while we are away! Love, Mom<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Each girl got a cool new cup with a note inside<\/p>\n

One of the little gifts of love<\/em> I have done is get them a cute cup with a note inside for each girl.\u00a0 This is a picture of one of the cups I gave them this year.\u00a0 They both still use these cups.\u00a0 The notes inside read:<\/p>\n

I LOVE YOU KARLIE KOOL KAT!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

I LOVE YOU BRINA BEE BEE!!!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Little bucket full of goodies<\/p>\n

I hung one cute little bucket with a necklace, silly bands,\u00a0 a popup balloon message and a note on each of the girls dressers.\u00a0 The girls still have those buckets on top of their dressers full of items that mean something to them.\u00a0 It was a lot of fun putting these together for girls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

God gives us Courage book<\/p>\n

On Karlie’s pillow I pick a book called God Gives Us Courage<\/em>.\u00a0 In the note I wrote:<\/p>\n

Karlie, I know how you love books.\u00a0 Here’s a new one for you.\u00a0 Remember God is always with you and we are praying for you! Love, Mom<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Book – God Gives You Patience<\/p>\n

On Brina’s pillow I put a book called God Gives You Patience<\/em>.\u00a0 Her green heart sticky note said:<\/p>\n

Brina since you enjoy books here’s a new one for you!\u00a0 Remember God love you and we are praying for you everyday! Love, Mom<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
