a few years ago for
Valentine's Day
I gave each of my girls a journal
{that I started exactly one year before that Valentine's Day}
xoxo
I wrote in each daughter's journal
everyday for 365 days





dated each new entry
{never missed a day}
wrote
why I loved them
what made them special
things they did that day that I so appreciated
listed their gifts
and
how they have blessed me
xoxo

each daughter's journal
was unique and personal to them
xoxo
it made for a very special
Valentine's Day

365 reasons why I love you
give it a try
it will make next years Valentine's Day very special
