~Lunch Box Notes~
I don't know about you, but my working Mom guilt tends to creep in when I know that Hunter is have something exciting or even stressful happening in his day. those are the times as mothers we either want to bare witness or be there waiting to provide the soothing hug and the always powerful "Everything is going to be okay". Well we can't always be there, but this is a way to let our little people know that although we can't be there, we are still thinking of them.
Place a little note in your child's lunch box, folder, pencil box or school bag, even their pocket, someplace your child will be sure to see it at one point during the day. These could be encouraging words seen before a big test, or a simple boost of self confidence. Most importantly it is a way to remind your child(ren) that you are thinking of them and love them all the day long. I made mine on the computer, but you could use a simple note card, a post it note or even a napkin. You never know when a little note from Mom is going to make a world of difference in your child's day, and I think it's a perfect way to be in your child's heart when you can't be there in person. For you Moms with small children or even babies who can't read, place a photo of you with a little note or I love you on the back, in their diaper bag and ask your child care provider to show it to your child and read the message on the back every day.
Hold onto the hugs, steal lots of kisses and cherish those little creatures you are so blessed to have.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy Guilt-less Friday
