Bless Your Family By Giving Them a Heart Attack!

Happy Valentine’s Day friends!  I pray you feel loved and blessed today even if this isn’t your favorite holiday.   

Today I’m sharing an idea that isn’t new, isn’t mine, but it’s something I do for my family and they really love it.  You’ve probably seen it all over ye olde internet: a heart attack! 

Each day in February I put a heart on each of my kids’ bedroom doors and one on the door between the master bedroom and bath for my husband.  On the hearts I write something I love about each person.  It’s such a neat way to affirm and encourage the people I love the most.

I buy packs of pre-cut hearts at Hobby Lobby. Sure, you could individually cut them out of construction paper, but that might give me an actual heart attack.

I write them all up ahead of time so that I’m prepared and it doesn’t get away from me. 

Then I stick them in labeled bags for each person and tuck them away in a drawer with a roll of tape.  That way they are easy to grab and add to the doors when no one is looking.

My kids run up after school to look for their new hearts then come to me and thank me for what I said. I just love this as a way to build them up and encourage them in specific areas where they need it most.

I love YOU for reading this little blog! Happy Valentine’s Day! 

Cereal Station for my Valentines

I'm on quite a cereal station kick these days... I blame Target and their super cute bowls!  Here's how I'm adding a little love to our mornings (and late night snacks!)...

I went with Special K Red Berries (my son's favorite) and Strawberry Frosted Mini Wheat.  In the past I've found little heart cereal similar to Cheerios, but I have't come across it this year.

This little mug is from a care package my parents sent me in college.

Again with the bowls.  These make me super happy.

As you can see, this is so simple but makes the whole kitchen feel festive.

 A little effort to show lots of love!

Treat Yo Self to Some Valentine's Swag

I love wearing a festive shirt and accessories for Valentine's Day (or any old holiday), but I do my best to look cute and not like the February version of an Ugly Sweater Party.  Here's a roundup of some fun ways to wear your heart on your sleeve.

I can't wait to wear this shirt.  True story... in 2017 my son and I made it our new year's resolution to eat at Torchy's Tacos every Sunday after church.  I don't want to brag, but MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

This top is super cute too!

Fun fact... I never ever wear boring socks.  Why would I when there are so many different patterned ones?  I'm loving these!

The same goes for jammies.  I love a cute pair of pajamas or nightgown/shirt.

I also love robes.  I'll wear a robe whenever possible.  This Kate Spade one gives me all the heart eyes.

I'll leave you with a few more treats to up your Valentine's Day game.

Love is in the air!
