    School Valentines Day Treats

    If your kids go to public school, you’re probably facing the same predicament as me – no home baked goods. It’s one of the things I always looked forward to when becoming a parent, and now I can’t do it.  Not that there’s anything wrong with store bought, there’s just something extra special about putting love into cupcakes and cookies while making them for your kids and their friends.

    Tangent over. Princess V is in charge of bringing 21 treats to share for their Valentines party. Originally I was just going to buy some Valentine inspired cookies, but then a friend told me how she wrapped the juice boxes in Christmas paper for the Christmas party. I decided I could do more and put that extra touch of love into the Valentines treats, even though they were store bought.

    I started with the cookies. Then some cellophane bags and twistie ties. To make it just a little extra special though, we added in the Owl Bookmarks from Living Locurto (check her out for more free Valentines printables).

    Time sure does fly by! I keep seeing pins everywhere for Valentines Day, and some of my favorite bloggers have been posting Valentines Day Craft Ideas, Printable Cards, and Treats.  Then I looked at the Calendar.

    Yup, only 3 weeks until Valentines Day (which also means 3 weeks until I have a 5 year old). So, what to do for Valentines Day?  My first stop was to get some “cards” for Princess V’s class. They really push reading here, so I thought these Owl bookmarks from Living Locurto were perfect

    (FYI, go to her website, and these are FREE to print out! Plus many more!)
     
    Of course we needed to find a good treat to celebrate the day too. I like to start the morning with heart shaped pancakes or French Toast, and some Strawberry syrup. With strawberries and raspberries on the side. Later in the day this Valentine Popcorn Munch would make a sweet treat
