I’m actually kind of lame when it come’s to Valentine’s Day. We live near all of our family, so I know that between school and the grandparents my kids will get plenty of sweet treats. Honestly…I buy them each a couple books and call it good. I hope you found all of these ideas as inspiring as I did. I’m thinking I need to step up my game on V-Day this year.
