Chris was a little confused as to why I would paint our closet doors black, but he’s just not cool like you and I, so he doesn’t get how neat it is..
I didn’t even come across this idea on purpose.With a new baby in the house, my brain isn’t working so well, I’m always trying to do things one-handed while holding baby Jack, and although I’m not actually blindfolded, I do feel like I can hardly see straight most of the time.
But in a good way.I really just wanted to come up with something simple for Valentine’s Day that was grey and white, mostly because I just find those colors really calming right now and I need that.Then I thought that if it turns out really cute, it would be fun to write something like this on the back, just for blogging purposes so that it would look like a real “project” that I could post about.. My messy writing says “I love Jack because…” and I made a few like this for each family member.. Of course Kennedy got curious though so I explained it to her and she got to work right away thinking of what she was going to write on the tags for each family member.. And I realized that I’d just stumbled on a pretty great new family tradition for Valentine’s Day, one that I’m pretty sure I want to repeat every year.
What better way to give us all warm, fuzzy feelings during this chilly time of year?It’s totally simple, but way more effective than a disappointing dinner out in my opinion.
And it took me 5 minutes to throw together..
So during the first 2 weeks of February, we’re going to fill in these little tags for each other and maybe it will start to feel like this time of year is about a little more than just ugly red flowers and boxes of chocolates.-1 small package of baby cut carrots (or similar amount of cut up carrots).
-About 5 fresh sage leaves, torn up.-1/2 tsp of dried rosemary.
-1 tsp garlic powder.-1 package of onion soup mix.
