I Love You Because...

A heartfelt countdown to Valentine's Day

By Christel Hoydic January 31, 2023
Valentine's Day is all about those three words that everyone should hear every day: I LOVE YOU!  

Set up this special countdown to let your kids or your spouse know exactly why they are so special to you.

Create a large heart from colored paper with the words "I love you because..." printed on it and tape it to their bedroom door, the fridge, the bathroom mirror or where ever you'd like.

Next, prepare smaller hearts for each day of your "countdown." Then, each night leading up to Valentine's Day (February 14th), write a special message for them to find the next morning.  

Create memories. Share love. Encourage smiles. There's no better way to start the day.
