Stretch Valentine Day Out All Year

Not Just February 14th

Cut out 365 pink, red and white hearts from copy paper. Set out on the daunting yet loving task of placing a special message on each one (Examples) . . .

Some scripture notes from the Bible to give encouragement or verses that are special. Some date notes: movie of your choice, dinner out, dinner fixed by me, a drive to the beach, etc. Some chore or help notes: I do the dishes for a week, I'll clean the bathrooms, I'll watch the baby this weekend, etc. And some sweet nothings: back rub, take a long bath, take a nap while I take the baby, let's look at our wedding photos and reminisce...

Once all the hearts have a message, fold and place each in a large jar decorated with appropriate Valentine's colors and shapes. Wrap her/her special gift, which she/he will open and then place on the counter where she/he could reach for each day's note, to be used at her/his discretion.

It is a simple yet wonderful way to keep us aware of each others needs
