It's all around today. Love, love, love. We stop, take a breath, and look at those around us, those who we love, and intentionally let them know that we love and value them. The routine is broken, the normal adjusted, as we pass out sweet treats and little notes scrawled on pink and red glitter paper, and bless those we love with little bits of our heart. And chocolate. Yes, plenty of chocolate.
I look at my children and remember that they need moments and reminders of how loved they are throughout their days. Not just on one day in the middle of February. But, throughout the weeks.
Love is for everyday.
The challenge? Let's choose to record {and to see} the little things that we love about those who we are blessed to share our lives with. I love that you did the dishes right away. I love when you read to your siblings. I love when you ask me how I'm doing. I love the stack of toys that you invented and created. I love when you pick your clothes out. I love how you laugh. I love you. I love you for being you. Think of the gift in celebrating the good. Often, I'll gather one in my arms and whisper to them - I love being your mom. Not just a mom, but their mom.
So, join with me in a love challenge. I've included a simple download for you to print out -- it's an I love you reminder card for your loved ones. Look for the good and bless your loved ones with a beautiful list emphasizing those sweet moments that you love - notes of joy, and goodness, and love - the real important things.

Happy Valentine's Day!
