A long time ago my sweet husband succumbed to the pressures of Valentine’s Day. It was our first Valentine’s Day as an engaged couple and I could tell he was stressed. I opened the door to find him with a bouquet of flowers and a huge heart balloon. The only problem was that the balloon said, ‘Happy Birthday!’ I melted into a fit of giggles and he was completely confused. He had no clue that he picked up a Happy Birthday balloon. Apparently he grabbed the largest heart balloon he could find and my favorite blooms and came over. Since then, we say ‘Happy Birthday’ instead of ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ and Rob understands that I have zero expectations on February 14th. We make a really big deal out of it for the kids though!

My daughter took crayons for her preschool V-day party. I have enough crayon boxes where I may be repeating this one. Kids love crayons for obvious reasons and parents love crayons because it gives them some quiet time. This is perfect, unless the quiet time is because your child is using the crayons to draw on the walls. Mine are totally guilty of that. Click here to get my template and just write your child’s name.
With love,
