Very meaningful and thoughtful gifts.
Echo commented on M's blog post 'Day 5 - Little Things'

Well, I think you did a great job! Maybe your husband noticed but didn't mention the fact that you did the dishes! Sometimes people don't say what they are thinking and think that the other person knows they are appreciated! Regardless of…
