You’re Not Late — This Valentine Tradition Takes 2 Minutes a Night 💗


Hello,

Okay, real talk — Valentine’s Day is coming up fast.
But if you’re thinking, “Welp… another cute idea I’m too late to start,” pause right there.

This is one of our favorite Valentine traditions, and the best part?
You can start it right now and still have a full week of sweet moments before Valentine’s Day.

No prep. No perfection. Just love. 💕

Our Simple One-Week Valentine Tradition

We do this cute tradition leading up to Valentine’s Day, and honestly, it’s perfect.

Each night, we tape a paper heart to our kids’ bedroom doors.
On each heart, we write:

  • something we love about them
  • something we’re proud of
  • or a little encouragement they need to hear

That’s it. A couple of minutes. One heart. Big impact.

And here’s the part that gets me every time — once our kids got older, they started making hearts for each other. Big kids writing notes for little siblings? Instant tears. 🥹

By Valentine’s Day, their doors are covered in hearts, and our house feels extra full of love.

No candy overload.
No pressure.
Just intentional connection during a busy season.

Hi friend, I’ve been thinking lately about how many different seasons have brought people here — some of you have been around for a long time, and others may be reading this for the very first time. So I thought I’d take a moment to introduce myself and share a little of our story. I’m Ashley. I’m a wife and a mom of five (yes… five 😅) with ID twins on the end. I have two older girls — one in college and one in high school — and three younger boys who keep our elementary school years very...
