We've talked a bit about how to let your spouse, sibling, or other adults know how much you care for them...but what about the kids?
This is a great idea for your own children, neices or nephews, or even to pass on to friends of yours who have children.
As we all know, children's obsessions change weekly, if not daily. Although to the adult mind all of these changing interests and infatuations may seem overwhelming (or even a little bit schizophrenic), an active imagination and ever-changing "favorites" is a very normal part of growing up.
To show that special little "mini me" in your life just how much you adore their busy mind, put a little extra thought when packing their lunch for daycare, school, or a picnic. Cut their PB&J into the shape of a T-Rex, Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, or whatever their latest obsession is. If you don't have cookie cutters, or don't trust your creative cutting skills, you can simply add a smiley face to the top with a couple of raisins and a thinly sliced sliver of carrot. Tuck a little note under their apple slices letting them know that they are the apple of your eye.

Those five extra minutes you spend making their meal extra special, will guarantee your little imp carries a smile on their face throughout the day. And, really....what's not to love about that?
