Valentine's Past

Putting together this post was a fun trip down memory lane! Here are some of the Valentine's Day activities we did last year... Enjoy!


Heart-shaped Felt Cookies -- Almost good enough to eat!


Chocolate-covered Strawberries -- These are definitely good to eat... yum!!


Volunteering at a local assisted living center -- This was one of Emily's favorite activities!


A not-so-sweet Valentine treat -- A good alternative to candy for breakfast.


Heart-shaped Garland -- Made from tissue paper. Looks almost like stained-glass!


Valentine's Day Felt Mail Set -- Emily still plays with this much-loved felt mail set... and now Clara does too!

I just have to tell you that I am amazed DAILY by the adorable, wonderful, engaging, and super-fun activities you come up with to do with your sweet girls! I'm constantly debating whether or not we want to homeschool our daughter (and daughter-to-be) and you definitely give me hope that it can be done amazingly well!

Oh my has it been year I've been reading your blog! I remember most of these post from the first time around. Been meaning to do a post like this myself, this just reminded me I have yet to do so.

Felt cookies & mail! How fun!

Do you use wool felt...or will WalMart felt work?

I've got a great pair of scissors (that can cut through most anything!).

I love those felt cookies and mail. So very sweet. And the chocolate covered strawberries look divine.

I don't know why I couldn't sign into my google account. Already having technical difficulties this morning. :)

Great ideas. I love the felt hearts, :-) We made similar heart ornaments (as your tissue paper ones) to decorate our indoor plant for the month of February, which we're celebrating as one of sharing, love, and friendship.

Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
