{Leave Some Love} Valentine’s Day Giveaway

February is here and so follows Valentine’s Day. Now, regardless of what my hubby says about this “commercialized” day, I love it! You will never see me object to a day when love gets the center of attention. Is it commercialized? Uhh, yeah, but what holiday isn’t? That doesn’t mean you have to buy into THAT part of it. Of course you love your kids, your family, your spouse, every day of the year, but doesn’t Valentine’s Day just remind us to tell them or show them in one small way or another?

Don’t Spend a Dime.

  • Make a card – I promis they’ll love it!
  • Put a special treat in their lunch box or
  • Bike to the park for a picnic lunch together
  • Make a Top 10 List of “things I ♥ about you”
  • Hire a babysitter for the night {wink wink}
  • Cook or bake something sweet for a friend
  • Cover the front door in paper hearts (why not?)
  • Stick a scented post-it on the bathroom mirror
  • Grab a camera and take fun photos of each other!
  • Watch a sunset together (for those NOT living in a frozen tundra)

Easy…it’s in the details :)

It doesn’t have to be extraordinary, but it does have to be kind. It could be something you did, a friendly hand-up, or just how you made someone smile. Whatever it is, please share!

Winner will randomly be chosen on Valentine’s Day ♥ You may win one of the following -
YOUR CHOICE!

The drop necklace is made of a dark coppery metal, using different colored glass beads, crystals, and semi-precious stones. It’s adjustable and is easily dressed up or dressed down. $25 value.
