14 Days of Valentine's

14 Days of Valentine’s 
Each year I try to do something nice for each member of my family for the 2 weeks leading up to
Valentine's Day.  With my son reaching the tween age range, it has gotten harder and harder to find
nice treats that are affordable for each day.    
I hit the jackpot with the after holiday sales this year.    I found his favorite Lindt Chocolate Truffles on
sale for over 70%.    That is 14 days of treats for under $3.00. I pair each chocolate with a
Valentine's joke, Lunchbox notes or Love notes.
Love Notes: 
Jokes: 
Lunch Box Notes: 
** NOTE that each free item is not always appropriate for your situation or child, so be selective. 
As for my husband, he enjoys the little extra things that I do throughout these 2 weeks.   For
example, I might bring him coffee in bed, a note in his lunch box or make his lunch with a special
sweet treat.    When we first got engaged, we went to a couples weekend and were given a
homemade yarn pom pom which symbolizes our love for each other.  He always get this in his lunch,
car or other unusual place that will surprise him.    

All in all, it is the thoughtfulness that counts.  Each person is different and responds to different
expressions of love.   You just pay attention and find the small things in life that bring joy and
happiness to your family/significant other.  

What did you do for the one's you love? Leave a Comment Below.

Keeping Cool Without an AC- Part 5

  The news is full of headlines indicating that energy shortages are on the horizon for most of the world. Over the decades, we have become reliant on the coolness of our air conditioners and have forgotten how we survived without them. It is now time to rediscover how to stay cool without our AC. Our 5 part series provides ideas on how to beat the heat this summer without the AC.     House Adjustments- Part 2 By placing house plants, such as English ivy, ficus, and spider plants, throughout your home, you can drop the overall temperature of your house by 10 degrees. In addition, house plants are air purifiers and add oxygen to your home.     For quick relief, create a personal mister to help drop the temperature of your skin: thus making you feel colder. Some people combine a spray bottle and a fan to create a cooling effect. However, I use just the spray bottle with cold water throughout the day and it keeps me cool. In addition, we use coo...

Frugal 5: #26

  The Frugal Five: #26 With inflation on the rise and our salaries not being able to keep up, it seems like we have taken a pay cut and must be more careful with our money.   The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate our daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.     ** Sorry for the lack of pictures. My week has been really busy and I just didn't get around to it. 1- Fall Garden Harvest    With the weather turning cold, we harvested the tomatoes that were left and made dice tomatoes out of them.   This will come in handy for making our taco soup and chili in the upcoming weeks.   In addition, we are able to add a few jalapeno peppers to the dishes.  Our dried mint was placed in containers for making tea this winter and fresh clippings were added to the drying rack.     Finally, our seeds are dried and ready for storage for next season.      It was a lot of work but worth it....
