14 days of love.

Inspired by Pinterest I decided it would be fun to do 14 days of love instead one day of love on the 14th.  And since I decided to do this on the 1st day of February, I didn't have much prep time, and so I busted out the Valentine's Day bags we made a couple years ago.  And you know what, it works.  Simplification- it's a thing I am trying out, and I gotta say, less stress is a good thing.  

I had to do some grocery shopping last night, so I was able to pick up some treats for my boys to be distributed over the next two weeks.  And since we hadn't eaten dinner yet, I picked up some Sushi for Jon as his treat.  Nothing fancy, just the sushi made at Smith's.  Rowan got a few Starbursts.

And since I want in on this deal too, but don't want Jon stressing over it, or feeling like he has to buy me something, I told him sweet little love notes would suffice.  I really do love reading the things he comes up with.  Today he left me a note that read "You're sexy and you know it."  Which of course just makes me think he must have heard the LMFAO song recently.

I cut up some white card stock and fancied it up with some washi tape. Placed the cards along with a pen right by my bag, so everything is ready for Jon when he's ready to get all touchy-feely.  I purposely made the cards the perfect size to pop right into the sleeves of our family scrapbook album.  

For day two I decided to send Jon to a movie.  Yes, alone.  But hey, we never go to movies and there are some pretty good options right now.  I figured one of us needs to see them.  And he really doesn't mind going to shows alone.  I am also married to a man who goes a little stir crazy when he's home for too long.  And when he goes crazy I go crazy.  Getting him out of the house is a good thing for both of us.

Rowan got more treats.  When he saw the bags on the counter he said, "Wow, that's awesome!"  Should be fun to think of things I can surprise the boys with for the next couple weeks.  Again, keeping it simple.  Dark chocolate for Jon and Skittles for Rowan.  Maybe on the 14th I'll kick it up a notch.  Here's to love!
