Writing love notes to kids for Valentine’s Day is a fun and easy way to show them how much you care without having to break the bank!
We’ve never been HUGE on V-Day as a family. I don’t do any V-Day decorations or anything (hello, I just took down Christmas!) and we keep things simple and inexpensive (again…we just bought Christmas gifts!)
Zach and I are pretty hardcore about showing each other, and our children, how much we love them all year long.
You do this all 14 days leading up to V-Day!
Love Notes to Kids: 14 Hearts of Valentine’s Day
See how cute the doors look at the end of the 14 days? SO FUN!!! You’re also welcome to use these ideas as inspiration for your own Valentine’s Day love notes!
I think you could definitely get more creative with the paper hearts but I did say I like to keep things simple and there’s nothing wrong with that 😉 it’s the messages that really count anyway!

Bonus: Love Notes to My Husband, Zach
I did NOT do 14 love notes for Zach on our bedroom door each night. And he mayyyy skip reading this post entirely because he’s already read all the love notes to the kids and may assume that’s all this post contains.
- I love that you are a man of God and that you strive to follow His Word and lead our family down the path of righteousness.

- I love how hard you work to provide for our family and that you value my role as a stay at home mom enough to work extra hard to make it a reality.
- I love how seriously you take parenting. You never “babysit” our children. You PARENT them and love doing it!
