Gifts for Valentines Day - Kind Notes 
I’m SO proud to be your Mommy!
My world is tons brighter because you’re in it! Have a bright day!
Our famous phrase is ” I love you all the way to heaven and back” OR “I love you all the way to outer space and back”.
I also say “Jesus is always with you no matter what”. and “You make my heart happy”.
I tell my three girls every day as I drop them off at school
“I love you! Have a great day!” or in their lunch boxes I used to leave little notes like “You are my love bug” “Hope you are having fun” “Thinking of you”.. thinks like that.
My kids love it when I tell them
“I love you more than ice cream!”
Some others are
“Wish I were with you.”
“You’re the best husband/kid in the world!”
“You’re my favorite food!”
“I’m so blessed to have you for my son/daughter/husband.”
“God must love me a lot, because He gave you to me.”
I will always, always, always love you – no matter what!
When your eyes light up, so do mine!
I’m so glad I get to be your mom!
I can’t imagine my world without you in it!
You are my sunshine on a rainy day!
Just one smile from you and my world is a brighter place!
You will always be my best friend!
Mistakes are opportunities for learning and we will learn together.
You are my greatest accomplishment!
“never forget I’m your biggest fan”
“don’t worry about things you don’t have control over, work hard at what you do.”
“be proud of who you are and what you stand for”
“if something feels wrong, it probably is”
“be nice to the new kid, they might just become your new best friend”
“let your beautiful smile light up someone’s day”
“don’t be afraid to take a chance, you might surprise yourself!”
“I’m so proud of the kind and thoughtful person you have become”
“be patient. in high school you get to pick our own classes!”
“always keep a song in your heart” – Robert Fulton Abernethy
You make me smile.
You are a gift from God.
Thanks for being you!
I am thinking of you today.
I am praying for you today.
You have the most beautiful smile.
I like how you can make such silly faces.
I dare you not to giggle!
You’re wonderful! I love you.
(I have four sons and I would whisper this to each one every night, no matter if it had been a terrific day or if it’d been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.)
These are really sweet and fun everyone. Thank you for your help. It’ll be tough to choose the top 31 – we may have to add more winners to this contest!
You have such a good heart!
When you give it your all, I am so proud!
You are especially special.
You ROCK!
When I hear a silly song, it makes me think of your smile.
