Valentine’s Effort – How much do we need to give?

There are lots of things we need to do every day as parents that go in to the rote routine – get up, feed the kids, dress the kids, dress yourself, brush teeth, brush hair, calm tantrums….

Add to that school  homework, projects, activities and other family commitments, you’ve got a full plate of things to do and a tangled web of “stuff” to get done every day.

Then come holidays.  Ohhhh the holidays, those special days when we get to put in just a pinch  more effort and it makes the day sooo much more special for our littles.

And what do we get in return?  Homemade Valentines.  Big hugs and a wet baby kissy.

I made this

Delighted faces when they see that you, yes you, who is the center and gravity to their whole world, took the extra time to make their day a little special.

Sometimes it seems to me that  the extra work required for holidays like Valentines (St. Patricks Day/4th of July/Halloween/take your pick…) isn’t maybe worth it, because I’ve already got So. Much. Other. Stuff. To. Do.

But then – if I just step outside my comfortable little circle of chaos and think of those tiny people that bring me so much joy (and sure, stress at times) – I remember that it means SO MUCH to them.  Their little hearts overflow for you every day.

It’s so easy to show them how they do the same for you!
