For the Little Loves of My Life

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day…though darling husband and I don’t really celebrate, other than a special dinner at home, I do like making something special for the kids.  Sometimes (well, most of the time) I procrastinate…so, this morning, I have been scouring Pinterest for easy ideas I can accomplish by tomorrow afternoon.

I try, most years…to make the kids pancakes on their birthdays that spell out their names and their age, so I know I can make these pancakes…I will just have to drag myself out of bed the first time the alarm goes off in the morning (no snooze button…I’m a snoozer).

From Martha (of course)

For a fun after school surprise…

Again, Martha…how cute are these?!?

For dinner…I think I will make my own dough

This blog also had made heart shaped pepperonis, but I couldn’t get the picture to save…you’ll have to go see it for yourself.

And for dessert…they just love brownies…and M&Ms.  I have a variety of heart shaped cookie cutters for just such an occasion.  Should I do it all myself, or let them help???  decisions, decisions.

You can see this here.

All of these ideas are examples of how to transform usual stuff into something special (well, except the fortune cookies…which are coincendentally the most likely not to get done…but too cute not to show!).

I hope everyone has a Valentine’s Day filled with love…make some happy memories!

Today’s secret revealed…I have officially given up on store-bought greeting cards…they are waaaaaaay overpriced, and though you can find them that say close to what you are thinking…why not just use your own words?  Have your kids draw pictures…what daddy, mommy, or grandparent would prefer one ‘off the shelf’?  The exception to this is the V day cards the kids made for classmates…for $3 we got the cards, stickers, lollipops and a carrying box.

  1. Thank you for sharing excellent informations. Your web site is very cool. I’m impressed by the details that you have on this site. It reveals how nicely you perceive this subject. Bookmarked this website page, will come back for more articles. You, my pal, ROCK! I found simply the information I already searched everywhere and simply couldn’t come across. What a great website.

  2. One thing I would really like to say is always that before acquiring more computer memory, take a look at the machine directly into which it could be installed. If the machine is running Windows XP, for instance, the memory threshold is 3.25GB. Using in excess of this would simply constitute any waste. Make certain that one’s motherboard can handle an upgrade quantity, as well. Interesting blog post.

  3. ?upe?? website you have here but I was curious about iif you knew of any community forums that cokver tthe
    same topics discuss?d here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable people that
    share the same interest. If you ?ave any r?commendations,
    p?ease l?t me know. Many thanks!

  6. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

    The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Firefox.
    I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility
    but I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though!
    Hope you get the issue resolved soon. Many thanks

  7. Thanks for the ideas you have discussed here. Something important I would like to say is that computer system memory demands generally increase along with other advances in the know-how. For instance, any time new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there’s usually a corresponding increase in the dimensions demands of both laptop memory plus hard drive space. This is because the software operated through these cpus will inevitably increase in power to make new engineering.
