What a great list of fun Valentine activities. I had to laugh at the Valentine Outfit for baby suggestion because my 12-year-old still insists on getting a Valentine shirt each year! Naturally, it started with adorable baby outfits for each holiday and has progressed into her getting a new outfit on the holidays. It's evolved into a mommy-daughter shopping day and I love it. Great ideas here :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, hope u have a great one:)
ReplyDeleteThese are some great suggestions. As a child, it became a tradition to always make my nans a valentines day card after they both lost my grandads. I hated the thought that they should miss out on such a lovely occasion.
ReplyDeleteThanks and I hope u have a great time this year too!
DeleteSo many fun ideas to celebrate Valentine's day with the kiddos. My mom always made a big deal out of this day for us and its become a "family day" now for my littles. I try to do some sort of heart shaped food, a craft and a small treat. Thanks for the ideas!
