All You Need Is Love


Whether you go all out and indulge in the commercial aspects of the holiday, or you take a little extra time to focus on the ones you care about, Valentine's Day is all about the love, and who do you love more than your children?

I am excited to start some Valentine's Day traditions with my daughter this year since she will be old enough to appreciate the gestures a little bit better.  Here are some ideas for how you can make a happy heart-filled day for your lovelies.

 1.  Start the day off by "heart bombing" their door or the hallway coming down the stairs from their room.

2.  Make heart-shaped pancakes for breakfast or create a heart shape out of raisins on top of their oatmeal.


3.  Make a fun snack by putting a twist on the classic Rice Krispie Treat.  Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the shapes, then place the Rice Krispie Treat on a craft stick, and dip into melted chocolate.

4.  Put a little note in your child's lunch box telling them how much you love them.

5.  Cut heart shapes into sandwich bread or throw in a couple of chocolate hearts for dessert.  

6.  Make a string of paper hearts to hang across the room.











Whatever you decide to do, enjoy the love that is your family.
