As a mom and wife I am always looking for different way to
show my kids and husband how much I love them and get them to show each other
how much they love each other. I was given the opportunity to try out a new
type of playful game that gives you a new way to show someone how much you love
them.
The game comes with 5 wooden coins that are based on a
SHMILY story. To read the SHMILY story you can find it by following this link: http://www.shmilycoins.com/SHMILY-story.html
After reading this beautiful story I knew this was something
that I wanted to try with my kids and husband. I took the 5 wooden coins and I hide
them in different places for each member of my family. I read them the story
but didn’t tell them I had hid the coins in special spots for them. My kids and
husband both loved the story so much because it was a super cute story.
The next day as my husband was getting ready to go to work I
waited to see if he would find the coin I left him in his bag that he packs to
use at the gym after he gets out of work. As he opened the bag to put his stuff
in the coin fell out and he saw it. He looked really hard and realized it was
the coin from the story. It made him feel so special so he leaned over and gave
me a kiss and stuck the coin in his wallet. My husband wants to keep it in his
wallet so anytime he opens his wallet he will know that I am at home thinking
about him and loving him.
With my children I also hid a coin in special spots. For my
oldest son who is 13 I hid his coin in the zipper part of his backpack where he
keeps his pens. I wasn’t sure if he would find it but with much surprise I got
a text message from him in the middle of the day. My son told me he found the
coin and it made his day feel so much better because he knew I put it there
because I love him. With my daughter who is 11 I placed her coin in the pocket
of her jeans she wore to school. When she
came home she was so excited and ran in the house and gave me a big hug and
told me she found her coin. I told all of them this is my special way of
letting them know that even when we are apart I am always with them and I will always
love them.
The next day after everyone had left the house and it was
just me and my 2 year old I started folding clothes and making the bed, as I picked
up my pillow I found 2 coins under my pillow with a note written by both kids
telling me they love me and I am a great mother this melted my heart. I really
love this idea of the SHMILY coins it is a wonderful way to express your
feelings to that someone special in a new and special way.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner this would be
an awesome game to play with that special someone in your life or just a
special way to let your kids know how much you love them. If you would like to

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea and what a beautiful story on their website. The coins are very affordable too. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. I try to do notes every now and then, but these will be perfect to grab when I do not have the time to hand write one.
