Sharing the Love !
Whether you are a hopeless romantic or a practical realist there has to be something about Valentine’s Day that makes you smile, For me, it’s the chocolate. I also love having an extra reason to show my little ones and my dear husband some extra love and attention. There are so many cute ways to show your love this time of year. Crafts, gifts, yummy dishes, romantic trips. I am loving all the love filled tips, DIYs and ideas shared by our bloggers this week. Heart shaped food, you can find that with the Valentine’s Day Mini-Pizzas. Print out some Valentine’s Themed bookmarks for a meaningful class handout. Give the gift that keeps on giving with a Valentine’s Day coupon book. Wherever you fall on the Valentine’s Day meter, there is always a reason to show someone how much you care. Join us this week in Sharing the Love at Family Fun Friday!
