Awesome Ideas for Valentine's Day

As 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.

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.
