On Daddy's Day

I didn't end up constructing a mini S'More's grill for my husband  for this year's Father's Day (See Yesterday's post). Instead we made cards  and printed photos for the grandpa's, and E and I made (well, I made) love notes to hide around our home for my husband to find. Love notes seem to be popular around our house lately (see this post), and I thought I should keep with this latest tradition.

My son and I are truly honored to spend our days with my husband, and he's such a great dad I thought leaving love notes with the top 10 reasons why we love him for him to find would be a special way to show him how much we care. At first it took a bit to figure out how to put my thoughts down in such small compact space as a sticky note. However, to my surprise it wasn't long before I had all 10 complete.

E and I  hid the notes around our home, and allowed my husband  to find them on his own time throughout the weekend. I think he enjoyed finding these notes tucked in unusual spaces like the refrigerator, his bed-side book, and in his closet. He now has his own little pile of love-sticky-notes  next to his side of the bed. I am hoping it will bring him joy for the next few days.


Wishing you and your family a Happy Father's Day!

Found Words:: Love Note

There's nothing like leaving a little unexpected love note in an unexpected location...right? Well, the other day, while I was cleaning up E's toys, it dawned on me I hadn't really done anything spontaneous for my husband in a while to tell him how much I care about him. Nothing like what we used to do when we were first married. You know, like leaving sticky notes on bathroom mirrors with "I love yous" scrawled on them, or placing a single flower in a vase next to my bed (yes, he's a sweet man).

Anyway, I decided to leave a little love note for him constructed out of our son's dress-up beads on top of one of our play blankets. I left it there for my husband to discover (after E had gone to bed so there would be no disturbing of my "art"). I was so giddy I could barely contain myself. I had to take a picture just to calm myself down. My husband loved it and now I think we have the makings of a new tradition.

Have you left a love note for someone to find recently?
