February 14th is just around the corner! Are you celebrating with your love by going out or staying in? Do you romance it up a bit? I am a little curious…. this is the time we really get to know one another. lol. We are not the romantic type (well we were but maybe 10 years ago ;D) Now I think it’s fun to show a little more love between the 3 of us, as a family. When you have a little kid (or kids) around, it’s fun to make things and get them excited about the magic of Valentine’s Day – family style ;)
So here are a few cute craft ideas that inspire me right now. I still hope to decorate the house a bit more for the weekend possibly with some of these ideas…

‘have a heart’ garland from Dottie Angel
I LOVE that book heart garland from Dottie Angel – so simple and so cute ;)
Are you making any crafts for Valentine’s Day at your house? Do you include the kids?
If you already have than feel free to add a link of your Valentine’s Day crafts to the comments below, I would love to check it out ;)

These are lovely. Sam loves hearts but he doesn’t know what Valentines is yet. I think he will soon though! x p.s, yes I think the last time I got anything from my husband for valentines was about 10 yrs ago. But at least we can pass it on to the littles ones.
I agree with you, it used to be romantic 10 years ago for us too. But now with my hubby working away and not being home most years for Valentines and 2 kids later, I make it a family thing. I love to surprise my kiddo’s with a valentine’s surprise in the morning, though I’m not sure what it’s going to be this time around (I better get on that soon!).
This year, the kids and I made a watercolor heart garland and they were involved in every step of the craft. I think it’s my personal favourite craft we’ve ever made and I think I will leave it up forever. It’s just too beautiful (and not too “Valentiny”) to put away.

Yes a Valentine’s breakfast is the way to go. We will probably do that too with pancakes or waffles ;) I’m sure your hubby will make up with the romance once he gets back. If I were any closer, I’d babysit so the two of you would go out for dinner. lol.
PS. That heart garland is sooo adorable.
Very pretty inspirations. I love the book heart garland also!
The garland from Dottie angel is *so* cute!
I’m with you on the romance thing. We make valentine’s a family affair too.
