Sometimes, in the midst of all the craziness, it can be easy to forget to show your kids just how much you love them.

Leave a special note in their lunchbox.
This is a great way to start their day off with a smile. A few examples could be as simple as: “I’m so grateful for you. You are amazing and loved.” or “You’re one of a kind! I hope your day is as wonderful as you are.” It only takes a few seconds to write something like this, but it could mean the world to your kids. This set of pre-made lunchbox notes would make an inspiring addition to your child’s lunch too!
