DAY 5 Go to a dollar store (any store will do) and with $5 in your hand and 30 minutes on the clock buy one another a gift.

For some reason gifts are typically given on special occasions – birthdays, Christmas, Valentine’s etc. But why? Not to say we shouldn’t , but it’s nice to give and receive a ‘just because’ gift. Those wonderful thoughtful gifts given ‘just because’: it made me think of you, it’s your favorite color, I saw you collect them, I wanted to say ‘I love you’ or ‘thank you’…Those unexpected gifts can put a smile on someone’s face and brighten up their day.

Can’t wait to hear what you buy one another.

HAVE FUN!

DAY 4  Our outdoor activity was nothing glamorous, but it was meaningful and fulfilling.  We spent the day beautifying our front yard. We’d discussed changing up the yard for a few months now, and it was the perfect time to tackle our to do list.  Especially since we had the day off- as wedding vendors weekends to ourselves are hard to come by- and it’s such a treat to spend time at home.  Our time at home means a great deal to us, because the journey to becoming homeowners was long and arduous. It was a day we never thought would come, so any day spent beautifying our home is a day well spent.
