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.

    a dungeon. This can be offset by multiple windows, large windows or a high ceiling,

  4. Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed
    to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just
    don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also
    defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people
    could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

  5. Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I as well am an aspiring blog blogger but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for first-time blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.

    article and also the rest of the site is very good.

    same layout and design. Great choice of colors!

    Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
    I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
