Love Notes
Even if it’s midnight, and you’re tired, and you can’t really draw so your attempt at barrel curls winds up looking like a follicular tsunami, I recommend you hide a love note in the lunch pail of any little boy heading off to his first school field trip. And, when he stays home sick and misses said field trip, let him find it when he later eats his lunch. I can almost guarantee the response will be priceless, and when you return to your desk after everyone is down for a nap, you just might find something like this on your keyboard.
It isn’t easy writing love notes when you barely know your sight words, but the message came through loud and clear for me.

that is the sweetest thing! things like this make me want to have children… one day.
Oh my goodness! This just made my heart melt – and I do not have any kids yet!
I have said this before (yes, on the actual blog, not to myself) you are such an inspiration!!!
: ))
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww……………….love it.
My mom used to leave us notes (and polaroids!) in our lunch boxes! Good memories!
There are tears on my keyboard. So sweet …
And yes, you must leave notes! Those remain one of my fondest memories from childhood …
Awww how precious is that? That’s too bad he had to miss his field trip, but it looks like he still got something out of it. This is just so sweet…
LOL! That is so cute! Awww!!!
Oh! Oh! That is the sweetest thing I’ve seen all month. Maybe all year. Lucky you.
*gush* so cute. I love it.
*melts*
Nearly made me cry! So gorgeous.
Killing me. Just imagining a card like that from my 14-month-old little guy in the future is making me cry.
Awesome….there was not one day that I did not send a LOVE note in the lunch boxes, my oldest 33 now to this day cherishes it. I encourage this to each one of you sweet mommies to do the same. I do it for my granddaughter now, and she comes back and says: nana got your mail…..LOL
I can’t even say anything. Too sweet.
Too precious!
This is too sweet, I loved that you did this (you are the BEST mom!) and obviously Mikey is going to be just as thoughtful as his Mama:)
So sweet… making my teeth hurt and I LOVE THE JAZZ HANDS.
Awwwww….so sweet! I love making notes for my kids’ lunchboxes. My daughter’s 2nd grade teacher has her write a letter a week, and those are pretty great too.
