I know today is supposed to be crafty but, this is creative and pretty cool. I am not sure where I got this idea, it is not mine but like everything I do I have tweaked it.
I have started writing notes/letters to my boys. When I first read about this, they said write a letter every year. I have been writting more often than that. I started writing when they did good things, things I was proud of. I also have been writing to tell them little things about their childhood. Once I have written I also throw in some money, $10 or $20 and seal the envelope. Keep them all together and you give them the envelopes when they graduate high school.
I thought it was a cool idea because you are giving them your thoughts about them at particular times in their lives. It is also nice for them to have a little extra cash maybe for that beach trip after graduation.
The boys and I had a tiff yesterday and so I wrote about that and told them that I loved them no matter what. Yes, they will not see these for a couple of years but, I still want them to know that even though I was angry with them that I did and do love them.
I guess I just want my kids to know that even though I fussed and hollered that I always loved them. This seems like a pretty neat way to let them know how important they are.
