Give a LIttle Love

It tried to incorporate some "meaningful" things with Valentines this year and it actually was a success. I had a jar of hearts with various scriptures on them and each morning before Brynlee went to school we would read our "love" scripture and talk about how we could incorporate it through out the day. I tried to remember to ask the girls at dinner how they were able to follow the scripture. It set a great mood for our mornings that 14 days before Valentines! The idea came form here, this Lady is incredibly talented!


Brynlee wrote this all on here own, I think I will keep it forever, it melted my heart when I saw what she put, and wow is she coming a long way with her writing.

We did our usual Valentine heart attack at the first of the month. Each family member writes something they love about each person and we have it to remind us of each others love all month long. It is simple but I got the idea here.


The Girls really enjoyed doing their Valentines this year. It was Addyson's first time and great practice with writing.

We did a Valentine breakfast which the girls were super excited about. Their favorite part of the whole breakfast was the whip cream I put on top of the berry smoothies. They thought they were eating dessert for breakfast. Ethan was post-call and unfortunately did not make it in that morning.



Trey could not get enough smoothie as well! I love that my kids like smoothies almost as much as I do!

These kids NEVER get tired of balloons!

This was with extent of my creativity for dinner, they were delicious with spaghetti.
I have been going crazy these days with all things bread. I love to work with yeast and wheat flour.


The candy which came home from school was ridiculous! Awesome for the kids, but it quickly disappeared as mom's had when from candy bag to trash can a few pieces a night (did I just say that, yes girls you will thank me one day). Believe me they had their fair share of sweets!
I really enjoyed Valentines this year!
