Valentines

Lili came home yesterday with a list of her classmates names for Valentines.  Much like Halloween, where the kids come home with bags overflowing with treats and candy, Valentine’s Day is the same way in elementary school.  I often send in holiday themed pencils for the kids to hand out, because what classroom can’t use more pencils?  One year I found mini tubs of Play-Doh specially marked to be used as Valentines as well.  But this year I’ve seen a few cute sweets-free ideas on Pinterest, and am trying to decide what to do.

If I do go with pencils, this would be a cute way to personalize them- this owl perched on a pencil is adorable.

Or rulers… I should ask my girls if they use them a lot in school…

I love the idea of dressing up the little wedding bubbles for kids for Valentine’s Day- especially for younger kids who love bubbles.

These are unique and a great way to encourage reading. But I always wonder about the paint chip projects I see on Pinterest- do people just go snag a ton at the hardware store?

I wonder if there are still 10 packs of glow sticks in the dollar section at Target…

These are really sweet too. I wonder if the boys would like them though…

Just awesome. I love that it includes a photo of the giver. The original creator included a stick on felt mustache for each kid on the Valentine. I don’t know that Lili would let me take her photo with a mustache though…

What do your kids hand out?


More Please!

Yesterday, the speech therapist taught the boys how to sign ‘more’ and ‘please’ while she was here.  Ryan picked them right up and has been using them ever since, but Dylan is a bit more resistant.  And of course, he’s the one doing the most pointing, grunting and whining. The past week or so, Ryan’s [...]

Aaron has duty tonight, so I’m awake.  I have issues sleeping when he’s not here.  The twins are here in bed with me to keep me company though. The kids and I ran to the PX tonight and I scored big time deals on the clearance rack. I bought 3 shirts for my big boys, [...]

They Honestly Suck.

Not that long ago, there was a Zulily deal for diapers.  It was a new brand I hadn’t heard of, but I did look for reviews online, and it seemed like a pretty good bargain.   For $39.99, I received a month’s worth off diapers and wipes through The Honest Company.  For a size four, that [...]

Yucky 10.

I don’t like a lot of foods.  Some are more common- like mushrooms, olives, raw onions.  Lots of people love them, lots of people hate them.  But some things I don’t eat seem to be everyone’s favorites but mine.  Here’s a list of my top ten icky foods. Raisins.  I guess when I was little [...]
