Sunshine. January was such a long dreary month. February has brought some warmer temps and sunshine.

doing to be romantic
I am doing the heart a day in February. Each of my kids and Brian get a new heart of their door every morning with positive affirmations. I am also reading and doing the challenge in Love Unending, Rediscovering your marriage in the mist of motherhood.
changing
I can't think of anything I am really changing right how.
celebrating
This year we switched up celebrating family birthdays. We use to get together and gift each person on Brian's side of the family, which is like 12 people usually. Getting together isn't always easy with other plans, and gifting has turned into exchanging gift cards. Instead we are doing a dinner out per season. Last weekend was for the winter birthdays. Unfortunately I was home with sick kids so Brian went without me or the kids.

ReplyDeleteIt is somewhat a good idea, but that big of a party with picky eaters is a lot on a waitress too.
DeleteMy father's family used to to two big birthday celebrations each year where we'd celebrate anyone for that season and it worked out really well since we had family that had to travel pretty far to be together. I love that you're giving your husband hearts every day too... I did that once with my boys but never thought to do that for my husband!
ReplyDeletethe men in our lives need some love and to feel appreciated too.
DeleteI love your intentions! Great job with January's. I'm also looking forward to longer, warmer, sunnier days.
ReplyDeletebring on spring and summer
DeleteI really need more days with sun and outside too! I can tell I'm feeling so cooped up right now.
