A Whole Bunch of Mail

Matt went to check the mail today, and I am so glad he did because we had a ton of love waiting for us! 

 {A Valentine's card from my Abuela and Papa.}

{Shot glasses from my Bates family- including a lovely note. If you can't tell- I was really excited I got these. I love them!} 

{Valentine's Day gifts from my love.}

{A thank you note from my niece Sophia. So very impressed she is writing thank you notes.}

{I couldn't wait to put all the cards on our frame wall.!} 

Thanks everyone for the love! 

Love Letters- Keep on Coming

Some of my favorite from the last few days. 

Matt and I decided we weren't going to let the fact that Valentine's was over to stop writing love notes. So we are going to continue until the month is over. 

Love Letters Continue

Look what I found in my mailbox! 

"A little sock monkey for my lover!" 

Love Matt 

And the Love Fest continues. 

Love Letters

This little red mailbox has seriously been the most fun ever! If you ever see a little mailbox, I would recommend buying it! 

This mailbox has made the month of February so great. Matt and I both love getting mail and seeing the   love notes. 

Here is a sample of a note Matt wrote me a few days ago: 

Doing this has really ensured our love tanks are full. (Yes, I have been reading the 5 Languages of Love.) I am all for doing small things to keep the love alive, and this mailbox has done this. 

I am happy I went with my instinct to buy it when I saw it in Target. 

Look out for some more love notes coming soon! 

Our Little Red Mailbox

Matt and I bought this little red mailbox at Target the other day for $5. 

I thought we would keep the love around in our home by exchanging love letters. 

I will let you know how it goes! 

A Hand Written Sentiment

{Just some of the Thank You cards I have on store in my home. And I am loving my new mustache envelope seals.}

When I was a kid my mom always drilled into me the power of a Thank You. 

When I was younger, I was very sporadic about writing thank you notes. Even picking up the phone for a quick verbal thank you was too much for me. 

As I got into high school, I knew I needed to be better about writing, but it was hard to break this bad habit. It was not until my high school graduation that I was consistent about writing thank you notes. 

Ever since then, I have sincerely tried to write a thank you note no matter how small the gift. And I love doing it. 

I love going to Target and picking out new Thank You cards. 

I love getting new stamps. 

I love writing my personalized HAND written Thank You. 

I love sticking my address label on the envelope and sending it off. 

I love everything about it. 

And you know what-  There is nothing better than getting a Thank You card in the mail!

I really think more people should hand write their Thank You cards. I think it is becoming a lost art form. While I think a verbal Thank You or a Facebook Thank You is better than nothing- nothing beats getting a card. Thanking someone is literally taking the time to say "You know what, I appreciate it. I know you didn't have to, and I thank you." It is letting that person know you got the gift and that you love it. 

I encourage you to bust out the old stationary (or use this chance to buy some new stationary) and write a thank you note. Or an thinking of you note. Or a get well note. 

Heck just write something- Stick it in an envelope- And mail it. I guarantee it will make that person's day.
