Reminder - Maternity Clothing Drive at Bellybou

Hi Mamas! Just a reminder that at tomorrow's meeting you can bring any maternity clothes that you are ready to part with. The clothes will be donated to the pregnant women who live at the Love Them Both house that we support at Creekside. If you bring your clothes directly to Bellybou, you can get a discount on your purchases tomorrow. Thanks to all who decide to contribute! -Carly

Ways that we like to love on our...

CHILDREN:
-Say things like "I love being your mom"
-Each child has a special nickname
-Sing the song "My Girl(s)" using my daughters' names
-My child makes me smile and laugh
-I tell my daughter "I love you!" and she always responds "I love you more mommy!"
-"Family kiss time" All three of us kiss at the same time.
-Make up songs about how much I love him with my son.
-At the end of the day, I like to tell my son, "My favorite part of the day with you today was..."

HUSBANDS:
-Say things like "I love being your wife"
-Sit after the kids are asleep and east an adult snack (like brie & crackers and wine)
-Leave notes to each other each day
-Call my man throughout the day to just say "I love you"
-Surprise him with an "It's all about you!" evening, full of his favorite things
