Love notes

My friend Laurie posted on her blog about these cute little mailboxes available in the dollar section at Target. Last time we were there, we picked up a few. I decorated them with the a few scrapbooking stickers from the stash that just seems to keep growing and...Tada!

The perfect place for love notes.

I set these on the kitchen counter along with a few little printed note cards and a pen and told everyone that we could write little notes of appreciation to each other. And make sure you put up the flag when you leave one, so we're sure to check our mail. It has been such a fun experience! Brandon has yet to get it on the action--at least not on the writing end of it. But Whitney loves to draw little pictures or W's(one of the few letters she can write so far) or else she'll ask me to write little notes like, "Dear Dad, Thanks for all your hugs and kisses."

Andrew is the best. I love his sense of humor and he'll write the silliest notes to me that are good for a belly laugh every time.

I'm thinking of getting little boxes of conversation hearts and slipping them in there, too. What a fun way to make the Valentine's love last a little longer than just that one day.
