Rubber Ducky Valentines!

Valentine's Day Rubber Ducks - Cute Valentine's Ideas

Remember back in grade school, when you made a Valentine Mailbox, and everyone in your class gave you a Valentine? Then you grew up and had to “adult” and all the fun was taken out of Valentine’s Day. You had to trade in your Valentine Mailbox for a work desk stacked with things that needed to get done. I wish we could bring back the Valentine Mailbox to our grown up jobs. I would love to spend Friday taking in Valentine’s from all of my co-workers. I’d hope that we’ve graduated from paper Valentine’s to things like cheeseburgers, slices of pizza, cupcakes, etc. I would even settle for some coffee and wine. Why can’t we all just adopt this way of celebrating? I will gladly accept your food and drinks, and in exchange I will give you this adorable little rubber ducky.

Cute Valentine Gift Ideas - Valentine Rubber Ducks

This isn’t just any regular rubber ducky. It’s a miniature one. And it’s adorable. Who wouldn’t want a eenie meenie tiny rubber ducky? It is worth at least five cheeseburgers. Plus, it comes with it’s own adorable little tag. Clearly it’s even better than the cheeseburgers.

In case you have come over to the bright side, and realized how amazing these little rubber duckies are, you can find your own pack at Michael’s. Then print the tag below, and you’ve got an adorable little Valentine to give to all of your favorite friends or co-workers! Hopefully all of my co-workers will read this and decide to bring me cheeseburgers and pizza on Friday. They should not be worried that I am traveling to Mexico on Saturday and will be spending the weekend in a bikini. Puhhhlease. It’s worth it.

Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five Don’t spend today wishing for tomorrow. Find five things every night that you’re thankful for, and BE thankful for them. So much of our lives are spent waiting for the next best thing when in reality, it’s sitting right in front of us.
If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’ If there’s anything I’ve learned in this life, it’s to SLOW DOWN.

So much of life is spent going, going, going. Waiting for the next stage. Telling ourselves, “Once we get through this, things will be easier.” Once the kids are older. Once life settles down. Once we have more time. But what if we’re missing the whole point? Because the moments we’re so eager to get through ARE the moments.

Today is the important stuff. The ordinary days. The messy days. The little conversations, the giggles, the routines, the chaos, the moments that don’t feel significant while we’re living them. We spend so much time wishing for the next chapter that we forget we’re already living one we’ll someday wish we could go back to.

So slow down.

Be here.
Pay attention.
Let the moment take as long as it needs to.

Because someday, these will be the days we miss.

**And if you know us personally, you know why I had to jump on this social media trend**
This is your permission slip to let the crafts be This is your permission slip to let the crafts be messy. 

They don’t need to match your house. They don’t need to be Pinterest-worthy. They don’t need to be made with a neutral color palette and a Cricut. They just need to be theirs.

Because someday I’m probably going to miss the paper scraps, the glue everywhere, the questionable color combinations, and the little masterpieces I had no idea what to do with. Let them make the ugly craft. Let them make a mess. Let them create something that looks nothing like what you had in mind.

Childhood doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing to be beautiful.

This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy the This is NOT a post to bash moms that are happy their kids are going back to school. My neighbors and I commiserate all summer long about how long the days are, how frustrating the kids can be, how much they’re fighting, etc. 

But my days are always like that, and even though it’s exhausting and overwhelming at times, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Even if I only have ONE moment like this a day, it’s one moment a day I could miss out on if they were in a traditional school. 

So here’s to whatever choice you are making in regards to your kids education. What’s best for YOU is most important. And what’s best for us is this.

 to squish around. The Slime Prank Lab by @CrunchLabs
turns it into an activity. We spent the afternoon mixing the slime, experimenting with different textures, and (of course) testing out the ridiculously funny booger and fart pranks. 🤣

My girls were completely entertained, and I loved watching them create, experiment, and laugh together. It feels like pure fun for the kids, but there’s actually some pretty cool science and engineering behind it all, plus Mark Rober walks you through even more with the QR code inside the kit.

Who in your family would be the first prank target?

A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making… This w A core memory I didn’t know I’d be making…

This weekend at church, my daughter got to light the candles for the first time. At the end of the service, when she went up on her own to extinguish them, proud tears dropped from my eyes. And as I looked around at others, I noticed I wasn’t the only one. 

If you had asked me in my early to mid twenties, I wouldn’t have imagined how much this community, this faith, and these little traditions would come to mean to our family. There was a season of my life, long before I became a mom, where I drifted away from actively going to church. Now, getting to watch my girls grow up surrounded by faith, love, and a church family who knows them and celebrates them feels like such a gift.
