Dear Valentine's Day Projects,

July 09, 2021

Dear Valentine's Day Projects, There was a time when a whole day would be dedicated to you. ¬†My girls would put together cards for all their classmates while I worked on a new project. ¬†Remember that year when we painted all of the wood hearts together and made into into a banner to hang across the stairs? ¬† That one was so sweet, especially when the girls signed them. ¬†I should go dig those out of the bin. This year though, I am not sure what my kids are up for. But I am not giving up hope just yet. There was this moment in the store the other day that gave me hope. ¬†Yes, Peanut is under that bear.

Peanut left with some gifts for her friends and a pack of Valentine's. ¬†Sunshine could not even be convinced to give cards to her friends as a joke. But I am not giving up hope. The rustic Valentine letters will come back out.

And my embroidered canvas art will come back out as well.

And I may even decide to bake some heart shaped brownies. ¬†If nothing else, I should be able to woo them with brownies.

But no matter how big they get, they will always receive their special letter from me. ¬†I may not make a video of it this year, but the letter will always come. ¬†Because you and I both know, sweet Valentine's day projects, that the most important thing is that they know how much they are loved.
