What Little Things Do You Do For Loved Ones?
We were asked to share the little things that we do for the ones we love and became excited by the mere thought. It’s the little things you do for the ones you love that mean soo much!!! That statement is so true, especially when it comes to my husband and my children. Showing that you love someone does not require a big budget or a fancy production. For instance, my husband and I leave little sticky love notes on each other’s laptops. Sometimes he will get to work and open his computer to see a note that says: “I love you.” I love receiving little notes or emails from him throughout the day.
Another great example, is the craft time that I started with my 7 year old daughter. She wanted some special time with me alone (without her 1 year old and 2 year old baby sisters.) As you can imagine, the babies consume a lot of my time. And my 7 year old is a very smart, well behaved, and self sufficient little girl. So she probably fees like she is not getting as much attention as the babies. So we started a craft time. And I am no Martha Stewart …not even close. My crafting abilities SUCK with a capital S. We don’t do any elaborate crafts that take an enormous amount of time. So far we have made pot holders and we have painted clay pots and planted flowers in them. Since I don’t have an artistic bone in my body (and it’s sad to say that my daughter takes after me,) our crafts usually end up looking pitiful. With the clay pots, we planted the seeds in the those pots over 2 months ago and not one sprout yet!!

I give my aunt and cousin a break and get the kids (3) and take them here, there and everywhere… We sometimes spend money, but most times, we do something free and they absolutely LOVE it! I “hunt down” the local free activities and they love getting exposed to the varieties of events….

Every other morning before my 3 youngest brothers go to school, I will whip them. Not because they’re hard headed and don’t listen, but because I don’t want them to think about being hard headed and not listening. But if they do, they already know whats coming for them. LOL.. I’m jokin. No, but almost every weekend when they’re not gettin on my nerves, me and all 8 of my brothers (4 younger than me and 4 older than me, yes I am the only girl) we will go out. Whether it be bowling, or shoppin (which is my favorite activity.LOL) or just anywhere, we always get together. Most of us live in different states anyway, so we make it our business to make sure everyone is alright and make sure the little one’s are staying on track and don’t feel like anything is wrong. With them being 4 and 5 hundred miles away its hard sometimes and the babies still need to know that they’re loved and they’re big bros aint 4get about them. So it’s cool.

Every Saturday is Mommy-Daughter day…w/ my fam, friends, & others just make yourself available whenever you can. Even if it’s to go w/ ‘em to traffic court for support…your PRESENCE is much more priceless than presents.

I leave littel notes, but her flowers, open the car door or house door for her, pull her chair out for her, as well as the rest of the little things that a man should do for his woman. I also run her a bubble bath and give her massages.
