I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is in a week! It snuck up so fast this year. My fingers are crossed that we have some time this weekend to work on the kids’ Valentines and a few other little projects in the works. I ordered Valentines for my girls this year because I knew our time would be limited (I’ll show you them next week!) but I thought I’d share a few of my favorite ideas I stumbled upon on-line. I love these three creative Valentines and if I didn’t have so much going on right now I for sure would have duplicated one of them! Maybe if you have little ones one of them will work for you this year?
So cute, aren’t they!? It’s probably good I didn’t have time to make them because I don’t know which one I would have picked! My girls are making their boxes in school this year but here are a few pictures of their past Valentine boxes if you need some ideas…
More details in this post.
I have the best childhood memories of Valentines Day. Wasn’t it fun? Making and receiving all of those cards and candy from friends. Having a school party. Icing and decorating sugar cookies. Delivering fun treats to neighbors’ door steps. Getting that Valentine from a certain someone that made you smile and blush.
Now Kenny and I are like – k – let’s give each other a great Valentines day gift this year by NOT giving each other a Valentines day gift. Ha! :) Then we get each other a gift anyway – nervous that the other one will show up with something.
Ahhh.. marriage.
Predictable and wonderful. :)
Kenny is indeed the love of my life, but below are a few things I shared last year that take very close seconds!
Happy V-Day planning everyone!
xoxo, Erin
You’re so dang cute!
Got your text yesterday. You can tell how I’m doing by the fact that I have not even had time to reply.
But I will!

i’ve already bought the supplies to do the “ofFISHally” one..that will be Luka’s for his Mother’s day out class. For my daughter Sienna, I found these adorable owl cookie pops, and I’m going to attach a tag saying something like “Whoooo is a great friend? YOU! that’s whooo!”
Such cute ideas! We are so behind. I have to take my kids to get Valentines and box-making materials tomorrow!
Erin. Love your blog! You’ve shared the multi-bran chex’s you eat for breakfast. I like them too. Wondered what you put on your turkey sandwich?(Bread type, lettuce,etc. ). Trying not to eat junk for lunch! Thanks!
What site do you order the girls valentine’s from?
Love Valentine’s Day – what some fun ideas and so true about marriage :). Wonderful!
This year for Valentine’s day I asked for tix to see an Aztecs basketball game. I’m really looking forward to it! (My husband’s not a sports guy and neither am, but I did go to state and just thought it would be fun and different)
Hollie AND Holly :) – love both of those ideas!!
Anonymous – thank you! You know – I am so boring when it comes to food. All I put on my sandwich is turkey (peppered turkey sliced really thin is my fav.) cheese, lettuce and a little mustard. Wheat bread. Then I cut up some strawberries or an apple or cutie – whatever fruit we have around and then grab a handful of Baked Lays (my favorite chips). Nothing too fancy, but I like it. :) And I think eating the same thing most days helps me to control my weight. I don’t get tired of eating the same things so this works for me. Hope that helps!
Angie – This year I ordered Valentines from Persnickity Prints. They are small and simple but turned out cute! I’ll share them on the blog next week. :)
