When the "kids" come home for the holidays

We have started a fun “coming home” tradition with D1 and her husband when they come to visit.

The first part of it happened by accident. After they left from a visit I was cleaning up their room and I found a quarter left on a dresser. Weirdly, the next visit of theirs I found another quarter while cleaning up! I texted them and said, thanks for the tip, hope you enjoyed your visit - with a picture of the quarters. Now every time they visit, I find a quarter somewhere in the room.

The other thing that randomly got started with them is that when they are coming to visit, I leave a little something on their pillows. I’ve done the typical mint. A Hershey’s kiss. They are both readers so once I left each a homemade book mark I picked up at a craft show. Once a doggie biscuit for their pup on their pillow. . It’s kind of fun now!

And yes, if I have them or it flower garden weather I often leave flowers in their rooms!
