Three Things + 1 : Lots of Love (and giveaways)

Since the birth of my son, Christmas has been too busy to send out cards, so I have been sending Valentines out to my girlfriends instead. I like to think that it makes the card super special because not many adults expect a card from a friend for Valentines Day, and all the love paper is so fun and beautiful.

Valentines Day has become a very PINK occasion since the birth of our Granddaughter, Addison.

Valentine's Day is actually my FAVORITE holiday. Of course...I love to make Valentine cards, Valentine cupcakes, put up Valentine decorations. This year I want to make a few handmade goodies to send to some friends and family. And now with my daughter, she makes her Valentine cards. And she always gives Grandma flowers. I love this holiday because it reminds us to tell our loved ones......that we love them!

Celebrating valentines i think is a little different for us every year!! but this year might be the best yet---we will have our new baby boy to celebrate---we are so excited for that might to be our new family's first night out! i love all of the new stuff!! i need to get scrapping!
thanks ali! hope you are feeling well and cant wait to see your little one!

My husband is a restaurant manager so he always has to work on Valentine's Day. Now that the kids are a little older it's more difficult to excite them but I thought this year I would wake up early and make them a totally red and pink themed extravagant breakfast. I also think I'm going to make them do handmade valentine's this year instead of picking a box out at Target.

We usually celebrate Valentines day for several days. Each member of my family plans a little activity for our family. We have a love scavanger hunt and we make heart shape pancakes and cookies. We just make it fun without spending a lot of money

My sister and I have had little Valentine's Parties for years. It would be just us and our kids. We would bake little treats and buy presents but the rule was you couldn't spend more that $10 and you had to buy as many gifts(or make)as you could without going over the limit.

I celebrate Valentine's by making them and giving them out to my very best friends!

My dad always gave each of us girls in the family a present because we were his Valentine's. Now with my kids, cupid comes to visit just like Santa Claus. We have a little mailbox that we leave out for cupid the night before Valentines Day and during the night cupid comes and fills the mailbox with Valentines and little treats for the kids. He also leaves a red or pink balloon tied on their chair at the table so that breakfast is fun and festive. We usually have something pink for breakfast like pink pancakes in the shape of a heart.

wow! what great giveaways!
i celebrate Valentines Day by sending all my loved ones sweet cards and cooking a nice dinner for my boyfriend....and reciting cheesy pick up lines to eachother

For Valentine’s Day my Mom used to make cinnamon buns before my brother and I got up in the morning. Throughout the day we would usually find a Valentine’s note or a mini pack of Hershey’s in our backpacks. Now that we have both moved out and gone to university we usually find a Valentine’s themed care pack in the mail. At 22 and 19 we still love getting Valentine’s wishes from our Mom!

We make cards to each other, also bring home deep red roses.

We always bake up yummy cupcakes and decorate them. Love making heart shaped pancakes for breakfast... so not a morning person (usually running late so... we'll sometimes we have them for dinner instead! :)
My husband and I also make love notes for each other and the kids, it's nice now that the kids can write they get to write their own too!

CUPCAKES! Every year me and my sister make cupcakes with LOADS of frosting and conversation hearts. We package them up for friends and family :)

Dinner with dh and my stepdaughter makes for a very special Valentine's Day.
Thanks for the great giveaways....hope you are feeling well and taking good care of yourself and the little one on the way!

My best friend and I have a long standing tradition of going on a date to a restaurant we haven't tried. We spend more than we should and we talk about fun memories.

We usually go out to dinner or make a special dinner together. Love the stuff you posted. Jess

I usually make a nice dinner for our family and I go to a local bakery and buy some really cute and yummy "pupcakes", as my kids call them. The kids and I also decorate with Valentine decorations.
