It’s here! This is one of my most favorite series of the year, ‘Forever My Valentine’. I ask random readers on the OSSS Facebook page to share a glimpse into their love life and why they love their marriage. Not only is it inspirational, but it’s a fun way to get ideas for Valentine’s Day!
Today, we are peeking into the love life of Katie!
I wanted to do something a little EXTRA special for Valentine’s Day and this whole month. Something about love and what love really is.
What is love? Love is a feeling of deep devotion, concern, and affection. It’s expressed and felt in many different ways. I hope these favorite stories and videos that I found, will help convey the beauty of love, inspire you, and bring a little more light into your life. Every Sunday this month, you’ll find 3 new inspirational stories about love. Enjoy!
This time of year, I’m browsing book sections everywhere I go, looking for the perfect books for my kids for Valentine’s Day. I’ve told you about our scavenger hunt tradition, where the kids find their new books, a card from mom and dad, and some Valentine’s treats along the way. You can read that post, here: Our Valentine’s Day Family Tradition. Anyway, I wanted to share with you the books I currently have in my online shopping cart right now. I think I found some fun ones!
I hope you have enjoyed all of the Valentine printables this week! Next week is another favorite series of mine, Forever My Valentine… remember that one?? The one where we get a sneak peak into the love life of random people?? Ha, yep! But more than satisfying any nosey-needs we might have, all of these posts should inspire you and give you some great gift ideas for Valentine’s Day. Oh, and I almost forgot… ANOTHER fun series will be running all through February, every Sunday (starting in 2 days!) It’s an inspirational series all about love, and what it is. I’m excited to share it with you! It’s been on my mind for months and it’s finally time to get it out there.
Now, back to printables…
Besides my kids being obsessed with Capri Suns, my kids could eat Goldfish Crackers all day long. I’ll buy goldfish crackers for my baby to munch on in church, and before Sunday even comes, my older kids have found the stash and they’re completely gone. Also gone, mine and Dan’s private stash of beef jerky and Whatchamacallits.
So, how about a fun Valentine printable revolving around Goldfish Crackers?? I know my kids would love to receive one!
Alright, who is going to be the first person to look at my picture and tell me that’s not Baked Ziti… it’s penne… ?? I know, I know! I kinda just like penne noodles better because they’re not so big. But, penne, ziti, rigatoni… whatever you choose, your family will love this. I know mine does! It’s man-friendly (plenty of meat), kid-friendly (no onion or tomato chunks), and mom-friendly (easy to make!) When I ask the kids what to make for our big Sunday dinner, this recipe for Baked Ziti is often at the top of the list.
With all of the fun Valentines out there for kids, I thought it would be fun to create some free Valentine printables for lovers! Because, well heck, we can’t forget our actual VALENTINE, right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy these. You can find the download link under each image. Have fun!

Hi! I’m Bethany! I blog at Whistle and Ivy, where I share free crochet patterns, recipes and lots of craft tutorials. I am so excited to be guest posting at So She Says! Today, I wanted to share one of my go-to baby shower gifts for a baby girl: the reversible baby skirt. I hope the name of this tutorial isn’t intimidating because this project is SO easy. Plus, the new mama gets two skirts for the sewing work of one!

It makes sense that chocolate peanut clusters would be easy to make, but I think I never realized just HOW easy they are to make! I’m talking, it takes 3 minutes to prepare, 3 minutes to drop in clumps on wax paper, and 5 seconds to stick in the fridge. So, if you have 6 minutes and 5 seconds to spare, you could easily make peanut clusters.

As promised, OSSS is about to be oozing with Valentine’s Day printables! Of course, mixed in between all the delicious recipes and great ideas. First up, ‘You Are My Sunshine’. My kids could drink Capri Suns all day long, if I would let them. So, what better Valentine to give their buddies than something that they love themselves??
It’s easy to download, print off, and in no time, you’ll have a bunch of Valentine’s that kids will love!
I love getting mail. I won’t even deny that I’m completely addicted to Zulily, Amazon, and Stitchfix. Now I have a new love to add to the list. A new love that will send me a package every month. A package that only costs $10 bucks and is totally fun. It’s called Birchbox. Ever heard of it? I can’t say that I wear very much makeup, but I definitely like to try all the latest and greatest items on the market. Birchbox is a monthly subscription company that will send you a small box every month with samples of the newest beauty products on the market.
Okay, so talk about therapy. I’ve gone a little printable crazy the past couple weeks and have oodles of them to share with you! I never knew it would be so relaxing to sit down and create them. Dan will turn on his Cheers re-runs, and I’ll plop next to him with my laptop and take a much needed breather from the long day. I love it! Lots of them coming your way!
My kids and I love doing Mad Libs for school. It’s a fun way to brush them up on their verbs, nouns, adverbs, etc. I though it would be fun to create a Mad Libs for my husband and I to do. I printed it off and we’re doing it tonight! Knowing him, I have no doubt I’ll be cracking up.
