A thoughtful gift


We had a fun little birthday party a few months ago ...


 Target made it easy to make it festive. Did you see their "Oh Joy" decorations?


It was my oldest daughter's 30th birthday and for her gift I helped her fix up her house a little bit. We did it in stages a few weeks before her big day, so when it came for her actual birth day, I wanted to give her something special to open but I didn't want it to cost a lot. 


And I wanted it to be thoughtful. 


I decided to give her a gift of 30 quotes. You know how I am obsessed with quotes, right?



I thought it would be fun to give her enough for one a day for 30 days. I found them on Pinterest and printed them out on my computer - each sized to go in a 4"x6" frame.


I dug through my supply of frames and found one I thought was just perfect. The idea was that she could change them out for whatever mood she was in.


She placed the frame in her entryway.


You can see the quotes (and the sources for them) here.


I love that she took one of the quotes and put it in another frame.


She is a lot like me - she likes to put quotes around her house to remind her of things that are important.



Have a great Sunday and hug those close to you. We were reminded the hard way this week in our neighborhood and community that life can be cut short in an instant. Love is all that matters.
