The Love Box ...

To make "dull, boring, January" a little more brighter for LeAnna (it's such a let down after all the Christmas excitement) ...

I found this cool "mailbox" ... $1.00 at Target ...

LeAnna decorated it and it became the "Love Box" ...



Throughout the day, everyday, LeAnna can check the mail ... if the flag is up, there is something in the Love Box!

It has anything from little love notes, to pieces of candy or chocolate, gum, or even a scavenger hunt that leads her to a bigger prize that won't fit in the box ... (she's had two hunts so far all around the house)

This is her favorite thing to do as soon as she comes home from school everyday ... we started this about a week ago ...

Today ... she got some Strawberry Shortcake highlighters ... (also on the $1 isle at Target) ...


Trying to be "frugal" while still providing some fun and bringing LeAnna some "joy" to her day in an inexpensive way ...

This will continue until Valentine's Day ... She's really liking the "Love Box" ...

happy day ... tammy
