Happy Valentine’s Day!!! So I started off this day like I have every year since my kids were toddlers I think. Heart shaped pancakes with fresh fruit, whip cream and milk. Then the Heart Hunt ~~ My kids love this and I have been doing it forever and they are in 6th and 4th grade now. I write I <3 Mandy and I <3 Josh on about 7 hearts and hide them in the dining room mainly. They look for them, collect them and then get their Valentine present when they have collected all of them.
This year I added an idea from Pinterest that I felt was right up my alley. They call it Heart Attack. So I used the same hearts I use every year and then wrote why we loved them all over the hearts and taped them to their doors while they were sleeping. What a way to make your child(ren) feel special. Love It!!! They enjoyed their morning for sure!! Here are some pictures of our special day….hope yours was great too. :o)

Josh found his first heart in the wreath
One on a topiary — kinda obvious but that’s okay

After a fun day at school and our busy morning…another great tradition of 12 years at least…heart shaped pizza from a local pizzeria here in town….how cute are they?
Hope your Valentine’s Day was as great as ours. <3

How fun! I wish I would have started something like that when my kids were younger. I guess it's not too late to start. 🙂 I LOVE your blog design! It's so cute! It makes me want to redo mine. 🙂
