School. I’ve learned this year that school completely changes the dynamic of how my day goes. I can no longer laze about on days when I feel too exhausted to kick motherhood into high gear. I have a son who goes to kinder (full day) and another that attends preschool two days a week.
Last year, when my first was a wee preschooler I decided to start the habit of tucking little notes or tiny drawings into his lunchbox. A fun and simple surprise that added a little spark to his day. It only took an extra minute or two and was well worth the added time.
Because he went to a small preschool, his teacher would read him the note. Now that Tyler attends kindergarten, I keep the notes short with words he can read or easily sound out or just scribble down a silly picture that I know will be sure to produce a smile.
To continue with the simplicity of the idea (because I am all about simple) I purchased blank business cards (in white) from Paper Source and tiny business card size envelopes (in a rainbow of colors). It added the special feeling of opening mail, which most kids adore.
And now I have a pocket size note collection full of memories I plan on keeping forever. Because I am sappy like that.

That’s such a sweet idea
thanks for having me
Love it. This is an ideal I would so like to implement when my girls start reading
so sweet!! love this…
I love this! I’ll definitely steal this idea when my kittle one starts school.
Just found this through Pinterest. The sweetest part is that you have all of them! I will copy this for sure. The thing that stops me every night (which seems so silly in this moment) is the gathering of the piece of paper and pen after the lunches are all made. Business cards are perfect!
