Happy Valentines Day! Jim and I don't really 'celebrate' Valentines Day per say. I think it's a silly 'holliday'. Yup, I'm one of those. I did get a new wedding ring coincidentally to replace my original one that I accidentally threw out in my scrubs when on call a couple of years ago. In my defense, it was late at night, I was 12 weeks pregnant with Mona and sick. It's so pretty, I love it! It's a LeVian 'chocolate' diamond... also coincidentally, totally nothing to do with Valentines Day. ;)
Valentines Day is however a pretty big deal when your in Kindergarten. Do you remember how fun it was to decorate a shoe box with tissue paper and glitter and big red construction paper hearts? Then wait in anticipation over getting Valentine cards and candy. Later, in like 3rd grade, maybe agonizing over how many V-Day heart shaped Lolli Pop 'Grams' you would or wouldn't get. The Drama. So glad I have 3 boys, less drama right? ;)
I was a little late in finding these super cute Valentine's cards at Picnic. I love this site. I use it for all of my food photography for my food blog and make cute cards for holidays like these. Again, I just made these today, so none got sent out to Grandparents or cousins this year. I'm a slacker.
But what a cute idea to send personalized cards to the fam and friends!

| How cute are these little cards? You can totally personalize them and print them out, cut them out and hand out to all your peeps! |
The kids and I also made Chocolate dipped marshmallow's with Pink sprinkles, cuz everythings better with chocolate and sprinkles right?. Fun!
 |
| Using a pen, poke holes in a box top |
 |
| Find some chocolate for dipping that is everywhere this time of year. Microwave, stir, dip. |
 |
| Chocolate is too healthy. |
 |
| Using cookie sticks found at the craft store, have your little helpers poke, dip and sprinkle their marshmallows. Do this over a plate so you can 're-use' the sprinkles and for easy clean up. |
Save this idea for next year! ;)
