Cute Valentines Crafts xo

I Love Valentines Day! It's one of those "holidays" you don't have to take too seriously. You can never do too little or too much. To me, Valentines day is just another excuse to show my family that I love them and make some cute crafts with my daughter. Here are some of my favorite Valentines crafts from around the web.

Valentines Day Food Frenzy

Here is a little gem I want to share with you about making food "fun". Go out and buy some cookie cutters!!!  I'll touch on this point later though in another post.

For now, lets check out some of my favourite Valentines day themed treats for kids and loved ones alike. Everyone needs to feel special sometimes, and if that means twisting your child/partners bacon into a heart before you bake it, well now they know how you really feel :)

The Paper Mama

Try this with cukes, or zucchini, etc...

 Cute Food For Kids

 Spoonful 

Life In Wonderland

Made With Love By Me

AND....

Use marble for heart shaped cupcakes.

Poppies At Play

Use package of Pillsbury Grands Homestyle Biscuits, spoon on pie filling, bake according to package.

Cooking On The Side

I would probably make mine as a heart pop and cover them completely in chocolate. I'm not a huge rice crispie treat fan but something magical happens when you cover them in chocolate. 

 You can't go wrong with chocolate strawberries!

Enjoy:)

Fun Hairstyles For Kids (and moms)

Here are some great children's hairstyles I found!  The only real challenge with these styles is trying to get your child to sit still long enough to finish them. I love how cute and simple they are, and my daughter loves feeling like she has "fancy" hair. FYI I use Redken All Soft to wash and condition my daughters long hair. We use a wide tooth comb to brush it and I blow dry it right away. We never have problems with tangles or fights over brushing anymore.
