This first time mama is in full party planning mode.
Valentine's Day is coming up and I couldn't be more excited! In the past my
hubby and I have celebrated with a romantic adventure (like a day of snowshoeing
followed by a fancy dinner). However, this year we have a newborn and I'm not
ready to leave him with a sitter. So, I've decided to throw a cheesy Valentine's
Day party for my family. Red confetti and heart candles will decorate the
dining room table, doilies will hang from the ceiling, homemade Italian pasta
will be on the menu and everyone will get a cheesy handmade gift from the baby.*
The inside of the card reads "From the bottom of my heart...to the tips of my toes!"
To make these easy Valentine's Day cards you'll need to make
a trip to Michaels to buy a few craft supplies. Fill your cart with plain cards
and envelopes, red paint and sweetheart stickers (those conversation hearts that
have a message printed on them like "Be Mine" or "Kiss
Me".) Paint a big red heart on the outside of the card. Let it dry. Then
paint the bottom of your little one's tootsies and stamp them inside the heart. Print
a message inside the card. Finally use the sweetheart stickers to decorate the
envelope and voila! A cheap Valentine's Day gift that's sure to be a hit with
grandparents.
Party planning continues tomorrow. I'm baking a cake and
decorating it with every pink and red candy I can find at Bulk Barn. It's also
Henry's 2 Month "Birthday". More pictures to come!
* Pinterest is a great place to find ideas (and then just add your own flair!)
