There are many perspectives on Valentine's Day, and I've shared any of them at some point in life. Currently, I look for opportunities to celebrate life, and I welcome opportunities to remember the importance of connecting with loved ones. I took this Valentine's Day more seriously than any other I have lived through :) In fact, I am declaring this Love Week in our home. We are celebrating 7 days of love. Yesterday was the big day for me to share with my children how much I love them, and I am taking one person from my life who I love deeply and want to connect with, and reaching out to them each day of this week.
I had a theme for my love gift to my daughter: self-love. I had the great idea of writing love letters to ourselves, and I had a great little "celebrate self" idea (write an adjective on a small post-it-note and stick them on the mirror she looks at herself in, in a heart shape). I went a little wild with making her bathroom a self-lovin' shrine:
This one is a quote from
this song that goes along the whole top of the room!
After her special valentine, I made some envelop-shaped goodie bags for the kids:
Then we went to the beach and hung out with a dear family from our radical unschooling group:
When did she suddenly become so grown and beautiful?
"wild child", for Kassidy from her friend :))
