St. Patrick’s Day is this coming Tuesday. Tuesday is a school day for us, and most of you I’m sure. I love to make holiday breakfasts for my boys, but need something quick when the holiday falls on a school day. Today, I have a quick and easy green breakfast you can give your kids before you send them off to school.
Hello again! It’s Jen from PinkWhen back to share another fun printable and craft idea. St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite little days to give gifts and treats. There are so many fun ideas to share, and today I thought I would share a St. Patrick’s Day printable that is simple and easy for your little ones to make and share with their friends at school. You could use this free printable for any little gift you’d like for St. Patrick’s Day, so hopefully this idea gets the creative juices flowing. This is so simple to make, just add the printable and it’s all complete.
Valentine’s Day will be here soon, and although it’s a day that is supposed to be filled with love, it’s a day that can easily turn into a lonely time for lots of people in our world. We might be able to help this just by doing a few random acts of kindness throughout the day! Are you up for the challenge?
This list is just a starting point…. you don’t have to do all or any of these things, any kindness you share will still create a ripple effect and hopefully make others feel loved.
I heard about a garage door heart attack many years ago from Alisa Bangerter on Studio 5 (a local lifestyle show here in Utah). She had a whole list of fun valentine activities for the family. This particular activity really caught my attention because it was like nothing I’d ever tried before. I had done a heart attack on a front door and bedroom door before, but never hanging from a garage door. I did it for my husband that Valentine’s Day, and it was a big success! This is the perfect activity to do for husbands/dads on Valentine’s Day because they’re usually the ones coming home at the end of the day, and opening the garage. And when they do, they’re greeted with a cheery assortment of dangling hearts with love messages on them. So fun!!
Remember when you first met and went on dates with your spouse? When you could talk for hours about hopes and dreams and nonsense?
Do you ever go out with your spouse and find that all you talk about now are your kids? Or your family problems and worries? Or maybe you struggle to find something to talk about at all?
Kids and stresses and struggles are important to talk about, but not on our dates. Dates are hard to come by in the first place. They should not be laden with worries. They should be filled with laughter, love, and lots and LOTS of hand holding.
I know what you’re thinking, “If we can’t talk about kids, and struggles, what do we talk about then?”
Here is a list of things you can talk about when you date your spouse. Whether you use them during your Valentine date, or any other date you go on with your spouse. Whether you stay in, or go out, whether it’s in February or any other month of the year, print the list, take it with you and you’ll have plenty to talk about.
Hi OSSS readers! Anne here, back with a printable Valentine tag for ya.
I think that I am with almost all other crafters out there when I scream, from the mountain tops, how much I love the Target Dollar Spot. I mean, can you ever make it 20 yards in before getting sucked in, regardless of what you went in there for in the first place? They always have such cute, seasonal things to create with. A couple of weeks ago I was in there, and how on Earth I was even thinking about Valentine’s Day ideas at that moment is beyond me. But I saw all of those cute post-it notes and the mini pens, and it just happened.
Ok. So how easy is this little Valentine? A post-it pad. A mini gel pen. Some bakers twine. And this sweet and simple Valentine’s Day tag you can download.
Hello, hello! My name is Aimee and I blog craft projects for kids, my home, and holidays over at The Elephant of Surprise. I’m super excited to be part of Mariel’s fabulous team this year here at Or So She Says . . .
Valentine’s Day is a favorite holiday of mine, for sure. It’s a bright, fun, and girly holiday, and I think it’s what helps get me through the rest of winter! So today I’m sharing a really easy Valentine wreath to brighten up your door or any corner of your home. This conversation heart inspired wreath is very straightforward and you can even get the kids involved.
Read on to see how to put this together!
I needed something cheap and easy for my little girl’s Kindergarten class, as far as Valentines go. So, I went roaming up and down the grocery store aisles, trying to think of something kids love. And, then I saw it. An entire bin filled with those nasty Kool-Aid drinks, that my kids are always begging for. They were in a six pack for just $1.25. That worked for me! Now, to just come up with a Valentine to go with them…I think I got it! Isabelle was so excited to bring them to her class and was hoping she would have a few left over, that she could guzzle later.
So, I’m not OFFICIALLY back from my Christmas blog break, yet. Soon, soon. But, I couldn’t resist sharing with you a round-up of fabulous treats and appetizers for New Year’s Eve parties! I know that’s what I’m thinking about and I bet a lot of you are too. I hope these give you some inspiration!

So, in the spirit of Christmas, I’ve rounded-up 30 peppermint treats that are sure to rock your taste-buds’ world this Christmas. Enjoy!
