HOW DO YOU TELL YOUR FAMILY YOU LOVE THEM?

September usually starts out busy for us moms who are sending off their children to school. I won't leave out us wives who send our husband's off to work with a full lunch box. I spoil my family this way every morning by taking the time to do this for them. It is my way of making them feel special even though they are perfectly capable of doing this themselves. (Oh....I make sure I get my rewards too...like my husband has to get me gas in my car when it is empty and he has to make my cup of coffee for me every morning. My daughter's will walk to the store down the street and get me a slurpee when I have a craving. ) Anyways, I am getting to the topic for this posting.

How do you tell your family you love them? Do you leave cards or special notes in their lunch boxes? For years, I have been taking one bite out of their sandwich. I call them love bites. I don't do them all the time, otherwise they wouldn't be special. My daughter just reminded me this morning that she hasn't gotten a love bite in her sandwich for a long time, which gave me the idea for this topic. So....tell us what you do to make your family feel special. Pass on your unique ideas so that we can use them too! Any one who participates will qualify for the drawing at the end of the month. The prize? A snack bag/sandwich bag set like the one shown above. The drawing will be held on September 30th!

RED IS THE COLOR FOR SEPTEMBER

Red is a great color for September I think. When I think of "red" in September, I think of apples, leaves and flowers. Of course there are many things in our great world that have this bold color. Let's build our own treasury of our favorite "red" things we find on Etsy. There will be a drawing on September 31st for this red pendant for anyone who participates. I will post my great find as soon as I get a chance to look.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!

Every blog seems to have a theme. This blog is about sharing and caring. I personally, would like to put my English degree to good use so we will tell lots's of stories here on KB Exquisites. This month's topic: DARN THAT KID!



Do I have a story to tell you! The other day, my youngest daughter, Ember knocked over her fish tank. It fell to the floor with a SPLASH!! In the wink of an eye, the whole contents of the tank, including Floyd the fish was soaking into the carpet. My husband had to vacuum up the water, rocks and algae. He had to tear up the carpet to get air on it. For the next three days we had a fan blowing on it so it could get completely dry before we laid the carpet back down. What a mess! Don't worry, Floyd survived....and one good thing came of it. Ember had to gut out her room and give it a good cleaning. Yes...it was a DARN THAT KID moment where we had to tell ourselves..."We love our child, we love our child."



Now it is your turn. Tell us a story of something your kids did that tested your patience. Anyone who contributes will be eligible for this month's giveaway. A drawing will be held on August 30th for a set of three snack bags like these. The lucky winner will get to choose from my store.
