Be My Valentine

Valentine's Day is one of my favourite holidays!

Firstly, I love love.

I love making the cards.

I love the sweets.

I love the heart shaped everything.

To some, it's overrated, it's cheesy. Maybe... sometimes.

Love certainly should be expressed & celebrated every day. But when you add kids to the mix, Valentine's Day, like other holidays, gains a little extra magic. Here's a look back at some of our festive fun via my camera roll.

Dollar store art supplies kept us busy for a few days. We made cards to mail to family and used the rest to decorate our playroom door.

We hosted a small Valentine's brunch for some mamas & friends on Saturday.
The kids had fun with playdough and dress up.
I made pancakes and festive fruit cups. And these addictive sweet & salty snacks.

To make:
- spread pretzels on baking sheet
- top with a Hershey kiss
- bake for 5 minutes at 250*
- top with m&m or smartie
- let cool & enjoy :)

I had no luck getting the girls to slow down for a photo opp, so here's a throwback to my chubby wubby Valentine xoxo

We're all about the festive eats & treats! For Valentine's Day breakfast we had protein pancakes with pomegranate.
At naptime I enjoyed some me time with my basket of goodies from Matthew.
What girl doesn't love flowers, but who really wouldn't love an edible bouquet instead ;)

I let the girls in on the treats after naptime, and we all enjoyed a mini banana split. Especially my adorable pigtailed girlie :)

Hope you all had a fun Valentine's weekend with your loved ones.

And I want to say THANK YOU very much for all of your love on my last blog post! I am always surprised by the number of site visits.
I truly appreciate all of your comments and likes here and on Facebook. It encourages me so much to keep sharing our stories :)

I'm working on a good one for next time, but for now I couldn't resist this mini photo dump. XO
