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.

    of any user discussion forums that cover the
    same topics talked about here? I’d really love to be a part of online community where
    I can get responses from other experienced people that share the same interest.

  5. She simply refused to go pee/poo within tthe box if she
    did noot have her regular brand litter. They see it
    the way we see our garments.No mater whether oor not your cat originates from a house or the street or any cattery, it is regular for them to stow away of thdir new area.
    There is no guaranteed method to ensure your cat does
    not get asthma, as itt may well often be an inherited situation. You’ll be able to try this litter field
    for aan extraordinary experience too your cat.
    Remember, the cat needs to be in a position to stand and move around comfortably within the litter
    field. Everything is poured into the box slowly and gently to minimize
    mud. One factor I hate about clumping litter is thee dust.
    The litter pan has a removable litter shield to prevent litter spray and deep pan design retains litter in and dirt out.
    Aftr we get house it’s moderately apparednt tyat they’ve been using it,
    and the scent is something that I have a hard time getting out of
    my room. After a time they are going to be able to enterprise
    into community areas, but bbe certain thwre are alll the time
    several simple escape routes.

  6. It’s a good suggestion after cleanings tto check your
    litterbox for scratched or abraded plastic. Budgeting for
    a new box annually is a good idea. As I discussed earlier,
    lastic litterboxes must bee replaced yearly or two. Also, since almost all containers aree plastic, you need to plan to change your litterbox at common intervals, as
    a result of while plastic containers are cheap, lightweight and simple to scrub,
    there are downsides, together with the truth
    that they get scratched up. You may discover your kitty’s litter preference by shopping for thhe smallest quantity accessible of several kinds of litter,
    and several cheap plastic litter pans. For standard (non-clumping) litter, this ought to be
    achieved at least as soon as a week. Especially
    if you use unscented litter, yoou have to be disciplined about scooping the field.
    Dry the realm totally with another paper towel earlier than scooping dry
    litter again over it. After scooping, I additionally suggest eradicating any litterr stuck to the sides or backside of tthe field with a damp paper towel.
    And ensure the field is not too near kitty’s meals or water bowls.
