I had great plans for decorating for Valentines Day this year. But sub-zero temperatures, frozen pipes, a killer cold/flu that hit all of us, and two rounds of stomach flu have kind of put a damper in my plans. I sure hope 2013 takes a turn for the better, and soon! I'm pretty sure I'm [...]
I don't know about you, but I'm always looking for ways to make the smaller holidays more fun for my kids. Valentines Day isn't geared towards kids–especially boys. What boy gets thrilled about pink hearts and ruffles? I know mine don't. But throw in some candy, and Valentines Day becomes much more fun! This matching [...]
