Happy Valentine's Day

Hope your day of love is going well. We started the morning with some little gifts and doughnuts!!!

The girls are planning a little "Galentine's" evening fun with friends. 

Around Here

So, my blog posts have been sparse. I think it's the time of year. I sometimes feel like hibernating in January and February. So, my posts aren't full of rich content. But, here are a few things going on around here.

Daisy got a hold of something the other day and really became violently ill. Poor thing was so distraught afterward and snuggled with me all evening...just like a little baby does when they're sick. We aren't sure what happened, but it was pretty pitiful. She is now doing fine.

Daisy's furry paws!

I recently found out about these DIY marquee letters and I couldn't wait to give them a try. Here's my "F"! 

Sweet sentiment about sisters that I found online

We are obsessed with playing this game. It permanently sits on the table and we announce, randomly, that it's time to play.

I went to a local shop and bought this fun pillow. It perfectly describes the feeling I want in my home.

Valentine's day is fast approaching. I put together these little gifts for the 13 "extra" teachers/staff at Shelly's school. I found the fun little tag here. I'm not quite done packaging them. I may add some candies and will wrap it all up with baker's twine.

The next set of Valentine's are for Shelly's four main teachers. I found the fun monster tag here. We all love the EOS balm here, so I thought these were a cute little gift. I added some candies and a set of note cards with each teacher's initial on it. I found the cards at Michael's.

Valentine Cat

Shelly's class celebrated Valentine's Day on Monday (due to the snow days). The students were assigned a Valentine's box project. Shelly and I put our heads together and decided to make a box in the shape of a cat. She was really proud of it and she earned a 100% on her project. 

Over the Loom Valentine

Shelly and I were in Target recently checking out the various Valentine's Day cards and she decided she didn't want to purchase any of the premade cards. And, she instantly had an idea...make Rainbow Loom bracelets for all of her classmates and she suggested I create "one of those little cards on the computer" to go with it. I loved the idea. So, I went to Pinterest to see if there were any clever ideas out there and, of course, there were. 

I put my own spin on one of the cute cards I found. Shelly went to work putting the bracelets on the cards and then into bags to take to school. 

Love her desire to be original, clever, and creative.
