I’m just going to throw it out there. My husband can’t whistle. Yup. There it is. When you start feeling like you’re having a bad day, just think about how much worse it could be. You could be pursing your lips, blowing air through the little hole, and getting nothing in response. You could look like a total fool just trying to get some noise, any noise, to come out of your mouth. You could fail miserably trying to whistle along with your favorite songs on the radio. You could never whistle while you work. The devastation is endless.
Clearly my husband needs a little cheering up every once in a while. I can’t imagine a life without whistling. It’s just too traumatic. So in order to get him smiling again, I like to leave him little treats in his lunchbox. Preferably with pink tags that are extremely feminine. The more flowers, hearts, and stars, the better. I only wish I could see his face when he pulls out these treats at work, in a room full of macho men. I’m sure they’re all jealous.
Fortunately for me, there are so many talented bloggers out there who design cute little tags when I don’t have the time. I found these little donut printables on Damask Love. You can print them here. There’s endless possibilities with these little cut-outs.
These are perfect treats for friends, neighbors, or co-workers that might be having an actual bad day. Although I’ll take any excuse to make little treats for my hubby, not being able to whistle does not actually count as a bad day. We are well aware that our life is pretty dang good. We are thankful every day for the blessings we have, and try to take time to appreciate everything we’ve been given. When I’m having what feels like a ‘bad day,’ I try to remind myself that it could always be worse.
Take a second to be grateful for your bad days. And then make a little treat for someone else, someone who is having a day worse than yours. Making someone else smile is the best cure to your bad day. Trust me.
This DID make me smile, even through one of my own bad days! And FYI, I can’t really whistle either. LOL
Ohhh good! I hope your days aren’t too bad. I’m thinking of you!! 🙂
I cant whistle either…can I have a donut?
You can have a million donuts if you come visit me!
Cute post!! Love the tags and the thought! I can’t whistle and my husband can’t either!! At least our house is quiet!! Hehe! Jk, totally wish I could whistle! XOXO
Haha our house is most definitely anything but quiet!! And we don’t even have kids! Hahah. I guess not being able to whistle is a lot more common than I had thought! 🙂
Cute! Next time on top of the flowers, hearts, and stars you should include GLITTER! The kind that gets everywhere and ends up on your hands and face. Then he can carry your love around all day 😉 haha
Ohhhhh I forgot to add glitter! I have definitely put that all over some of his projects!! Hahaha he loves it!
Haha I bet!
You always come up with the cutest ideas. 🙂
Oh my gosh, they’re not half as cute as all of your projects!! 🙂
I could not stop laughing! I too, am a non-whistler. Not because I don’t want to, but because I can’t. It’s very sad. But no one is leaving me treats. So now I’m more sad. ?
But seriously, I love your simple and fun reminders to put others before ourself. ?
Oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!! This is crazy! For my whole life I’ve always just thought it was normal! But so many people have commented that they can’t do it!!! If I’m being honest, there is one thing that I think everyone can do, that I cannot do: Snap my fingers!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! And also – I would leave you treats if you lived closer! 🙂
I can’t whistle either. It’s genetic!!!
I never knew how popular this was until this post!! You learn something new every day!
This is hilarious, and so adorable.
Thanks!!! My husband just loves his adorable gifts. Haha!!
HOW CUTE!
Thank you!!!!!!
I can’t whistle, either, and I’m so glad I found this adorable post.
P.S. I can only snap my fingers on one hand.
At least you can snap one hand!! *Bright side* haha! 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Is it weird that some days I can whistle and some days I can’t? Although I can never whistle a tune. Only one key, if at all. Ha ha.
Hahaha one key is better than off-key (like me). 🙂
