As some of you know….I am in Chi-Town this week for the Chicago Auto Show! The hubster and I are like “two ships that pass in the night” this week! He left on a business trip Tuesday morning and got home Wednesday night…while I left on Wednesday morning and won’t get home until Saturday afternoon!
I have to say, I feel very fortunate to have a partner who is so understanding and cooperative when it comes to our crazy, busy schedules! While this is not the “norm” in our household…it’s nice to know that I have a supportive partner in this endeavor called “life”. :-) I decided to show just a sliver of my appreciation by leaving a “heart attack” for the hubster when I left.
Based on his reaction, I’m guessing it was well-received. :-)
Cute way to show you were thinking of him!
Very cute
Super SWEET!!! I love this!
This is exactly what I thought!
Awww.. so sweet
Very neat idea!!! My hub would probably complain abot having to clean it up before he could go to sleep tho. LOL!
Super cute! Will definitely do this if I’m gone for a few days!
Love this! My kids would love it, too – maybe in their lunches like confetti. I also saw on Pinterest how you can do something similar for someone you love long-distance: use several paper hearts, write one thing you love about them on each heart, box them up and mail them. When they open the box they get “showered” with hearts and love! Have fun in the windy city!
I Useto make my kids heart shaped sandwiches, using a cookie cutter, with a heart shaped sugar cookie, little apple hearts…those were the days!
I’ve always loved this when the YW would do it on the door. Never thought to do it this way!! Thanks for the suggestion!!
Very cute idea.
That is so cute!!! If I did that, my husband would think my 7 year old did it!! He’s tricky like that.
I also nominated you for a blog award over at my place since I stalk… er…. FOLLOW you and obsess every-stinkin-day over your posts.

Very sweet! I suspect it would drive our cat nuts. :-) Which will drive my hubby nuts. :-) I am so doing this!! :-)
what a nice idea! i have thought of sending flowers to his work, the time hasn’t been right. See his B-Day is the 15th and he takes aweeks vacation then. have to think up something else.
love your blog you do have some great ideas!!
We used to do the same thing for other counselors when I worked at summer camp. It was fun to organize and the girls loved coming in to find someone had been thinking of them.
Welcome to my home town!! We love having you. Have a great time while you visit!
very cute idea! Well we were young and broke I got some little metallic hearts and sprinkled them on my husband’s dashboard, and then recorded a CD with songs that expressed my feelings for him. i left it in his CD-player in the car. He loved it!

OMG! That is so adorable! I wish my hubby would do that for ME! LOL. I’ll be nice and my 3 year old and I will do it for him on Valentines day! Seriously I am in love with your website! So that means you need to do this forever, LOL. Can you believe I have thought about the horror of checking your website and NOT seeing ONE GOOD THING, LOL. Blessings! :)
How sweet! :)
Have a wonderful time in Chi-town. If you get a chance, stop by the Art Institute of Chicago. It’s on Michigan Avenue and a place filled with beauty and creativity. They are open until 8:00 pm and I would highly recommend a visit.
OK JILLEE YOU GOT THIS ALL WRONG! You shouldn’t be doing an auto show in Chicago in February; you should be doing a boat show in Hawaii.
Silly girl.
Very cute idea. Welcome to Chicago!!!
That’s so fun! Too bad mine just left for 4 weeks away! Maybe next year or maybe even when he gets home :)
Great idea!
Aahhh! So jealous your at the auto show! I used to go every year. Drool over the cars for me please! This is a cute idea but my dogs would try eat the hearts (they try eat anything paper) and since one is always under the covers on the bed they may get kicked out onto the floor lol.
What a fun thing to do for my cats….errr….my hubby! Well, he would appreciate it AFTER the cats were done with it…..LOL. I will be doing something similar, but maybe in his vehicle….with some music to drive to work with. Thanks!
I wish my hunny would appreciate that! he’d probably just think it was another mess to clean up, hahaha! I think leaving him a love note tucked under his pillow would be better received.
Awwwwwwwwww!
It is so refreshing to hear of another couple that loves being in love! Life can be so hectic and overwhelming at times that I think often we take for granted the ones who truly want the best for us and love us unconditionally. We need to appreciate and invest in the love of our spouses. My husband and I against many odds, have been married for almost 16yrs now. I can honestly say I love him more now than I ever have. Thank you for the reminder I needed to show my husband that I love and appreciate him. Have a wonderful time in my hometown and I wish you safe travels!
i think foil wrapped heart candies would be even more fun… tho lumpier.
maybe the paper ones, taped to a string would be easier to pick up. : )
I gotta try this somehow on my grumpy husband just to see the reaction.
SO cute of an idea thanks.
Oh fun-I’ve always wanted to go to a car show!! My husband would absolutely not know what to do with that lol. If I wanted to surprise him before going out of town I would bake him a cake or a special treat or something. He would much more appreciate food haha. Be safe in the Windy City and have fun!!! xoxo, Shana

Aww. So cute! Maybe I’ll steal this idea one day soon.
Welcome to Chicago! Sorry you had to come in such terrible weather. Enjoy your time here.
Jillee, I love every single post of yours! I use so many of your ideas and it has been amazing, saving money and time… So I nominated you for a blogger award! http://needlesandpins79.blogspot.com/2013/02/im-win.html
my sweet husband read this post in our email yesterday and suprised me with it last night!!!! he made it een better by writing one thing he adored about me on all the hearts!!! so sweet!!!
That, was adorable!! However for whatever reason some of your links are currently not working in the post :( Hope you can get them fixed so that we can see the rest of the beautiful pictures! As soon as I am able, I think I am going to steal a combination of your idea and some of the ideas posted above, such as using a string to make the hearts easier to pick up (could also hang them somewheres afterwards like a ‘beaded’ door) and maybe hold the ends of the hearts down with the heart shaped foil wrapped chocolates. Add the music and voila :D
