CLASSROOM VALENTINE'S DAY

This year is Elle's first year celebrating Valentine's Day in school. I'm so excited for her, but Valentine's Day is a lot different than it was when I was growing up. Usually you would get a ton of candy and some fun cards from friends, but her school has asked us not to bring sweets. So, in lieu of candy I found these plastic macarons on Amazon.com. You can buy six for $7.99. I bought stick-on-earrings and stickers for the boys.

For her cards, Minted had the perfect Valentine's Day card that let me personalize it with her name and add a photo of her on the back. For three year olds a photo is such a great way for them to know who their Valentine is from since they can't read. Here's to hoping these go over well.

Hair Bows

Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and regardless of whether or not you have a sweetheart, you can look as sweet as can be. One easy way is to accessorize with bows. There's nothing that says, "I'm cute and sweet," like a bow.

Right now a big trend with these childhood classics is to place then just underneath your hair bun. Leather bows, floral bows, plaid bows...There is something for everyone. Have fun with it!
