Awesome Ideas for Valentine's Day

alpha-mom-fortune-cookies.jpgAs a designer and people person, I do love Valentine's Day for its focus on relationships and heartfelt, crafty tokens. I recently guest posted at Care.com’s blog about my favorite family-friendly ways to celebrate Valentine's Day. I hope you enjoy the post! And for additional awesome ideas for Valentine’s Day, check out the following fabulous links:

  • I absolutely adore this fortune cookie how-to from Alpha Mom.

  • The ever creative Marie at Make and Takes offers a cute collection of easy Valentine’s day crafts.

  • I love Asha’s best-of round ups. So many handy hacks all in one place, such as her collection of favorite Valentine’s Day hacks.

  • If you love crafting beautiful, creative Valentines, look no further than Design Mom.

  • I linked up Christina in my Care.com guest post, but her post about spreading the love to those in need deserves repeat mention.

    Thank you for those kind shout-outs! And, I can't wait to check out those other links---I'm feeling the heat of all the Valentine's I need to have ready by Friday!

    We got a little creative this year, too! The boys and I (ages 8 and 5) made a Valentine themed gingerbread house using a mold (waaaaay faster) and decorated it with heart shaped non-pareils and red sugar. We are donating it to their school raffle which raises money for new playground equipment.
    For my 19-month-old, I didn't want licensed valentine's yet, so I went to a craft store and bought 4" heart shaped doilies. There's enough room to write "To my friend. Love, Wren" in the center of each. They're really cute. She even scribbled a bit on some w/ red crayon.

    Thanks for the link love. What are you making for Valentine's day?
