I love it.
So much so, that I decided to prepare a bunch of cheesy little Valentine gifts to give to my boys throughout the big day. I kept it really simple with inexpensive, mostly ordinary treasures and handwritten notes from me. My goal is thoughtfulness rather than fanciness.
You’ll also notice there is not a lot of sugar. They get plenty from school Valentines. I try hard not to add to that.
There are some for snack time, some to put on their car seats as little surprises when I pick them up from school, and some for bedtime. They recently got over being very sick, so new toothbrushes seemed appropriate.
I like the idea of sprinkling little love notes throughout their day to remind them that I love them and am thinking of them. 馃檪 *The glow stick heart was inspired by CINO and Smile and Wave.
I am not a morning person. When we have a baby in the house, I am even less of a morning person. So, instead of getting up early this year to make a special breakfast. I baked up some mini muffins and popped them in the freezer. That way I can pull some out the morning of, and have a breakfast like this waiting to greet them. (They’ll get more than two mini muffins of course. ;))
I got these white octagonal milk glass mugs at a yard sale last summer for $1 for a set of four. I’m so in love with them.
Oh, and the muffins are banana chocolate chip…which helps explain the phrase a little better…
And just so my husband doesn’t feel left out (even though I am pretty sure most men don’t care for Valentine “cheese”), I got him a bag of Almond Joy Pieces. His two favorite candies in one. Perfect. (I’m fairly certain he won’t read my blog until this weekend. If not, avert your eyes honey!)
I hope you en-JOY 馃槈 your Valentines Day!
you are an awesome mom! I thing corny puns are the best thing about valentine's day!
oh too cute:)
that is too cute! I'm doing something similar for the kids lunches at our playdate party on Thursday…I love being corny! 馃榾
Meravigliaaaaaa!!!
Awww, you're so sweet and these are really unique ideas!
Those are adorable! What a sweet mom you are.
This is perfect for me Delia. I have been feeling so uncrafty and inadequate viewing all of these really complicated printable projects online, since we do every thing last minute I felt like throwing the towel in….this I can do! Sometimes simple rules.
These are too ridiculously cute. I might just make some for my husbands. Cheesy-ness and Valentine's Day just go hand in hand! 馃檪
Such a good momma 馃檪
I love these, you are so punny! 馃槈 I especially love, "There's muffin to it. I'm bananas for you!"
My dad always came up with cheesy puns like these while I was growing up, so I really adore them. =)
Cute cute cute Delia! Happy Valentine's Day!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's not a morning person. I got up early this morning to make my husband breakfast in bed and only ended up with one teeny pancake because I ran out of time. Frozen muffins sound like a much better idea. 馃檪
These are awesome ideas! Posting for the first time but I’ve been following awhile.
