I can’t believe that not only is it a new year, but it also marks the end of my first full year of posting gift ideas. I thought it would be fun to look back on 2017 at the top 10 most popular gift posts from this past year.
#10 The Gift of Love: 14 days of Valentine’s Love for your spouse and Kids
This was one of my favorite posts to write and give! Beginning February 1, I did 14 different acts of love (one each day) for my kids and husband without telling them what I was doing. It was so much fun to plan and execute a special way of showing my love each day, this post includes a free printable worksheet. I highly encourage you to try these Gifts of Love with your family this Valentine’s Day!
