4 Sweet Ideas for Valentine's Day

1. Decorate the door that everybody uses most in the house. Use paper hearts, crepe paper, try taping up a box of Necco hearts for each family member. (Be sure to use tape that is parent approved - that won't take the paint off the door)
2. Countdown: Give a small box of chocolates or candy like Rolos that your valentine can snack on. Decorate the wrapper with stickers or construction paper and tape, with a note like "For You: A Chocolate a Day Until Valentine's Day!" OR share a Valentine's joke (scroll down to pass the ads) each day until February 14th - jokes are great to text too!
3. Think of 5 things you love about your mom and dad to write on their valentine. Here are some ideas: funny, silly, read to you, going for walks, bear hugs, cooking (your fav food they make for you), favorite stories/movies you share, etc.
4. Journaling: Write 5 things in your journal that you like about yourself. For example: Your eye color, your creativity, talents, interests, kindness

Happy Valentine's Day!

PS - LOVE chocolate? Here's a link to an EXTREMELY RICH recipe for brownies that is pretty easy to make. Perfect for dessert of Valentine's Day. Most of the stuff is in your cupboard and fridge - with a big ol' shout out to Cocoa. We call them Alton Brownies because it's Alton Brown's recipe. Be sure you have some milk or vanilla ice cream around to serve with them.
