February Love Note You make my heart soar

The other February Love Note I'd love to share this year is another simple and adorable one.  You make my heart soar!  Pair this tag with anything airplane, floating, etc. and it's sure to be one to remember.

I love these little airplane erasers I found in the Target Dollar Spot a few years ago, online option HERE.  Or a foam airplane they could make themselves or enough for their children would be super thoughtful, you can find some really cute options in a pack HERE.

I also love the idea of bubbles or balloons!  Find some small bubbles HERE.  

I love to use valentines intended for classrooms to spark creativity.  They make it easy and cost effective to give a small amount of something to a lot of people.

Another super simple option I absolutely love are these chocolates.  THESE heart chocolates are the perfect size to attach to the tag and in the quantity they come in you can use them for a long time to come, and for so many different things!  Check out THIS post from last year for a March handout/gift idea.

Or even a little bag of them or any heart candy would be so darn cute!  I'm all for little treats so you don't feel as guilty when you eat them all! :)

Remember that these are perfect for thinking of you notes, friend or family notes, good friends, ministering/visiting teaching sisters and so much more!  If you've got someone on your mind there is sure to be a free tag/printable on my site for you to give them!

February Love Notes I Love That We Are Friends

Never mind that February is almost over and Valentines is over a week in the past now, we can still show and spread love no matter what the day!  I have 2 super cute Love Notes for February that I'll be sharing before February is completely over.  The first is perfect for anything love or heart themed.  

I LOVE that we are friends.  Plain and simple, but it will let the people you care about know you love them and are thinking of them. I wanted to show you a few gift ideas if you need some inspiration.

Valentines candy and decor is on sale now so it makes it even better!  These Jolly Rancher jelly hearts are so good and cute!!  Heart magnets or decorations would be another great, reusable gift.

Or get a cute heart container and fill it with heart candies or any candy you know they'd enjoy!

I love this ring tray my mom got me from the Dollar Spot at Target, for an online option go HERE.

Or any heart or valentine decoration would be a fun gift they can see year after year.  I got this at the Target Dollar Spot but you can find another cute decoration idea in stores (hopefully in the clearance or sale bins) or HERE.

There are so many ways to show those you care about you love and appreciate them.  A little note or act of kindness goes a long way in helping people, I've learned from experience and I'm sure a lot of you have to.  So why don't we share it!  It's easy to print out the sheet below cut and find a cute thing to go with it or a little treat and leave it on their doorstep.  Try it!  It will help you and the people you are thinking about.  

These tags are perfect for visiting friends, family, loved ones.  Thinking of you notes, ministering or visiting teaching sisters, those who are going through a difficult time or challenge, or even just a drop by note.  There are so many ideas.  I hope you can find someone that could use a little pick me up!

2 Month Recovery Update

It's so refreshing that time is passing and there is more time between me and the craziness that happened in December.  I'm grateful for how far i've come and all the help from doctors, therapists, and family members that have helped so much with recovery!

Here's what I've been up to this last month:

-Major head and neck pain and so nauseous most days, it really takes a toll on my YOLO eat everything motto.

-Still weak but getting stronger every day. 💪 

-I have really bad days and better days. I try not to say good anymore because well it’s not. Haha

-Get very emotional, angry, upset over little things. 

-Have had a few moments where I feel completely like myself. No pain or sadness-it’s awesome. Praying I have more and more of those moments-and as time passes I really do!! Prayers are answered my friends.

-Went back to the hospital to say “thanks for keeping me alive” and deliver treats. It was so surreal to walk in there!! I gave some thank you notes to my favorite doctors and nurses. I was there for quite some time so I really “got to know” a few people, as well as you can get to know people while sleeping at least half the day and having your poor brain recover from so much trauma! I saw the adorable lady that cleaned my hospital room and I asked her to watch White Christmas with me while I was in the ICU in December. I gave her a hug and told her we still needed to watch White Christmas together and to make sure she got a cupcake in the break room. 😂  

-Graduated from occupational therapy.

-Alone with Olivia more and more during the day-my Mom the saint, still comes every day. Trying to mom hard.

-I have the most intense doctor appointment next week and I’m seriously so anxious for it!! Neurologists are NO JOKE! 

-Walk up and down the stair consistently with no hands. 👏

-Basically do everything I use to-it’s amazing really! I shouldn’t be doing any of this and I’m almost all the way back to normal!! It’s so crazy and cool!! 

-People surprise me. The people that are kind and put a smile on my face make me realize there’s still good in the world. Random acts of kindness are really so sweet and appreciated!

-I think a lot of what I’m working through now is fear, exhaustion and mental things (obviously). I have major FOMO but am always tired so I don't want to take a nap or relax. I fear the unknown and bad things happening, like anyone really, I just take it VERY literally now. I worry if I’m capable to do daily tasks. My confidence is growing and I'm trying to remind myself to be patient and that I can do hard things.  That was my motto in the hospital and I still say it to myself all the time.

Can’t believe it but this might be the last recovery update. We'll see how it goes but It’s seriously insane to me. It’s only been two months and I’ve recovered SO much! I never would have chosen this but boy is this quite the adventure. It’s cool to try things I use to do and still be able to do them. Yeah I get frustrated and really sad sometimes but it’s kind of expected so I try not to dwell on that too much. Like I told my YW class a few weeks ago life is really a journey. It’s ok to not like some parts of it but if you keep your heavenly home as your destination you’ll remember this is a pretty great adventure. If we change our thoughts we can change our lives.  I've been really trying to work on this and its REALLY hard, but I know that our thoughts really do make such a difference.  I’m in a place in my journey that I’m not really loving where I’m at but that’s ok because I know where I’m going! 

Foundation of Love Date Night In Box

Dallin was completely in his element with this months Date Night In Box.  As an engineer he thrived on building and thinking of the best possible way to make all of these activities.  It was so cute to see.  This months box was themed Foundation of Love.  

"A great relationship doesn't happen only because of the love you have in the beginning, but how well you continue building love until the end." -Unknown  I love that quote.  It's so true, young love is so fun and fresh but deep love and commitment comes from time and making sure you're both making the right choices for your relationship.  I'm grateful to have Dallin by my side through wherever life takes me and Olivia.  

Let's talk about what's inside this box!  Included in this box:  toothpicks,  jelly beans, block hard candy, tape, straws, popsicle sticks, pen, tea light candle, and measuring tape.  All the things you need to build your date night away.  

We started with setting the mood by making our own lantern out of popsicle sticks.  We wrote on each one something that helped build the foundation for our relationship (experiences, traits, etc.)  It was so great to read each one or have the same things that we now know we both appreciate and love.  

Once we had made our little lantern together we lit the candle.  It definitely helped set the mood.

Next activity was building a strong foundation.  With jelly beans and toothpicks we made a strong foundation to hold our tower.

Then we started building our structure out of tape and straws.  Our goal was to make the highest structure to hold a jelly bean at the very top.  

Dallin loved it!

We eventually had to move the structure to have more room, it was getting way too high. At the end of the night he said he could totally have kept going but didn't have enough time! haha He wanted to make the highest structure.

We got to 82 inches high.

Then he decided to add more because he wasn't ok with 82 inches.

He worked his magic and got the jelly bean to stay at 90 inches!!

It looked totally wild but it stayed!

Something I love about Date Night In Box is that it helps start conversations that are important.  Sometimes they may be a little cheesy but it gets us talking.  I never really thought twice about some of the things I do in our relationship but with the popsicle lantern activity I found out that they really do mean a lot to Dallin.  These boxes are so much fun and easy to whip out when we want a date night but they are perfect conversation starters too and that's what I love most about them.

I've heard so many of you love your Date Night In Boxes too!  Keep sending pictures or comments to me of what you think of these boxes and how it helps your relationship.  I love LOVE!  If you'd like to get your own Date Night In Box you can go HERE!

I did receive this box for reviewing purposes from Date Night In Boxes, but all opinions are honest and my own.  I'm grateful to share products I love with you!
