Bathroom Love Notes...

What is the one thing all women LOVE and deeply desire from their man??  Simple, the same thing that most men simply don't think to do for us.... :)  One of many communication problems we've encountered in navigating through marriage the past year...

I have always wanted to Jeremy to write me love letters, love notes, love anything really... the written word has always been an important part of my life as an educator and as a "grammar nazi" (as I was nicknamed in college) and I have ached to wake up to beautiful sonnets of our love and happiness.  Well, it hasn't exactly happened... no fault to my husband, it's just not his love language.  Similarly, playing 8 hours straight of strategy board games with literally 40 pages of instructions isn't my love language.   Shocking, I know. 

Insert my project from earlier this week...

Our bathroom love notes - please note my hand sticking out of the door :)  Only my hubby gets to see my pjs!!




Let me zoom in a bit so you can actually see what it is...

The love note I woke up to this morning from my husband - who HATES writing me love letters!






And my note back to him...


I purchased a super awesome picture frame from Hobby Lobby (always 50% off!), used some leftover Christmas gift wrapping, grabbed a black dry erase marker, and viola!  $10 creation... Bathroom love notes.  I hid the marker an eraser behind the candles so it's a quick and easy grab and we're both loving the surprise of seeing a new little note (I think we've both used the bathroom about twice as much as usual over the past couple days!) whenever we pop into the bathroom.

My husband loves having a simple and no-pressure way to love on me and I love seeing his face when he comes out of the bathroom with a little smirk on his face... speaking of, he just got out of the shower, I'm going to go check for a new one! :)
