You 'Made it' Mug

It can be hard to know how to show your family members appreciation.

Especially if they all have a different love language.

We have a red plate (Check out the Parenting Place for more info on this) but I wanted something else, something a little easier to use at any time of day.

The opportunity arose to meet this need earlier this week when my youngest requested to go to Splashy's, a local paint your own pottery place, to make a plate for her friend.

While we were there I decided to make myself a mug. A made it mug!

I chose to use the words 'You have made the day...' as I felt it provided some scope for a range of endings, which I placed on the back to give the person using the mug words to choose.

My kids helped come up with these words and I am hoping that when its all fired and ready to go, it will be well used, by anyone who wants to.

I feel this shows love in all the different languages.

Words of affirmation - 'You have made the day special, thanks'

Gifts - 'Here, have a drink as thanks for your help'

Acts of service -'I could tell that you needed a drink, thanks for your hard work'

Quality time - 'I though you might like to join me for a drink'

Physical touch - 'Lets cuddle up and have a drink'

What's your families special way to say thanks?
