I know Valentines Day is not for 2 more days....but we have a pretty busy weekend ahead-- so I am making it known today---Happy Valentines Day to all!! {this adorable little card was made-- compliments of my super cool friend Jamie!}
I have always loved celebrating Valentines Day each year. Mainly because it gives me just one more excuse/reason to spread the love to those I adore the most! I found some really cool ideas for some great gift ideas that I wanted to share.
Both of these clever ideas I found off of {crafty chicks} and fell in love. Especially the Bingo game card. Hunter is at the perfect age for learning his numbers, so I really think he would get a huge kick out of this. Perfect for a FHE night or a family party. Also the candy bar covers would make a great gift for visiting teachers, school teachers, etc... LOVE IT!!! The best part of all, is that if you check out this site--the templates are available for FREE!!! So download these awesome templates....(you still have 2 more days until Valentines Day.)
I decided to make a "Valentine Version" of sweet chex mix (which basically means I just added pink and red M&M's) This stuff can be addicting I warn you! I have been known to consume an entire batch in one sitting!
This next project I spent many, many, many hours putting together! I made mini Valentine's Day: 5 Reasons Why I Love You books for my parents, grandparents, etc.... They were so fun to put together and I really love gifts like these, that truly come from the heart. Usually they are ones that don't cost a ton of money--just a lot of thought and love!!!
Today was Hunter's preschool Valentines Day party. We had a lot of fun putting together his T-Rex Valentines for all of his friends and teachers. I was so proud of Hunter when we got home and he opened up his Valentine bag---and was so willing to share with his little brother!!
And lastly I just had to post these two pictures. Anyone who has small children knows that in one moment you can catch a priceless picture that you think is amazing.......
And two seconds later.......you get this!
Happy Heart Day everyone!!!
