How much do I love thee?

2.11.2016


Free Printable Valentines Day Banner, How much I love you by hour

Let me count down the ways that I love you! In case I don’t show you enough how much I love you, I present to you….(drumroll please)….The Hourly Love Banner. For each hour of your day on Valentine’s Day, you can take out a little note card with a proclamation of my undying love and affection. And while all of my proclamations may seem like they’re directed towards a fresh, 100% pure beef, unfrozen hamburger patty….trust me, they are really written for you. You have a lot in common with my favorite meal: you’re always fresh, you’re always consistent, and you always satisfy me. These are reasons why I love you. And they just so happen to be reasons why I love In N Out too.

Now, I know that I’m not the only Valentine’s Freak out there. I can’t possibly be the only woman that loves to go overboard with love notes, heart decals, and sweet treats. I do, however, know that some of my friends are not nearly as obnoxious about it as I happen to be (which…to be fair…my husband happens to tell me he appreciates). So for those friends, I thought I’d throw them a little lifeline. Hence my Hourly Love Banner. Which I just named. It’s a great name, isn’t it?

Free Printable Valentine's Day Hourly Banner

Simply print the banner, cut out the hearts, and string into a banner. It does require a little bit of time, which we all know is very valuable these days. So that’s why your Valentine will appreciate it even more. Especially when you can talk your creative friend into cutting and stringing it for you. Which my friend just so happened to do.

If you don’t have the space for an hourly banner, just hand your Valentine the hearts each hour. Which also happens to be the way I plan on doing it. In Mexico. On the beach. With a cocktail in my hand. Trip #2 of 2016 here I come!

After printing the hourly hearts, you will need to create a back pocket for them. I traced mine onto white cardstock and used a glue stick to adhere. Trim to size! Good luck. I couldn’t have made it any easier for you.

    Much better ideas than I suggested, Shauna. 🙂

      Hahaha I’m sure your ideas were so good. Probably too good, so the blogging gods spammed them.

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.

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.

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.
