Give A Smile

Pretty hard to believe that Valentine's Day is only ONE WEEK away! Time has been flying by like crazy for me since the beginning of the year and I am trying my best to keep up. Anyone else feel the same way?

One of the things I love about Valentine's Day is it reminds us to show others we care. You don't have to buy expensive gifts or go all out in order to make someone's day and show them love. A simple handwirtten card sent "snail mail", seeing a need and meeting it, or just making the busy stop for a bit to give someone your time and full attention... all these things are inexpensive, meaningful ways to make someone feel loved and appreciated. We should never be too busy to show those we love how much they mean to us. 

But why stop with just those we know and love? Why not show a stranger love? Who knows.. you may be the perfect person to make their bad day better or boost their feeling of worth in any given moment. That frazzled mom at the checkout, the cashier at your favorite coffee shop, your neighbor, or maybe a sick child. 

Right now U of M is doing an amazing thing for their Little Victor's at C.S. Mott's Children's Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI. You can send a personalized valentine to a patient! It only takes a minute of your time to fill out the info and bring a smile to a child this Valentine's Day. I encourage you to take some time out of your day to click on the link below and send out a valentine to one of these sweet littles.  http://www.mottchildren.org/valentine

Speaking of sweet littles.... I just finished an adorable valentine gift set for a child I know. 
Valentine Tic Tac Toe!


It is a cute "sugar free" way to gift give this Valentine's Day!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday with those you love.
