Slime Valentines

Slime is still really popular with the kiddos. I know mine loves it. I honestly have not been able to perfect the slime making and it drives me crazy! Mine is usually too runny then I add too much of something and it’s too sticky. I have some skills but apparently slime making is not one of them. I have to learn tips from the kids that have perfected their slime making. When all else fails you can buy slime to go with valentines like I did. It is fun to play with that’s for sure! I made these fun little printables to go with the slime valentines and you can get them RIGHT HERE!! read more

Pizza Valentine’s Day Printables

Printables, Valentines Day / By Valerie

You all have a Pizza My Heart! Pizza also has a pizza my heart. At this point in my life I would much rather have a night in eating pizza and watching some Netflix with my love for Valentine’s Day than a night out. We are mostly home bodies. I just prefer pajamas to regular clothes. I also don’t want to get all ready and go to a crowded restaurant. We do love going out to eat sometimes but I get sleepy early. Lunch dates for sushi are our thing. When it’s night time I want to eat pizza and watch a movie or show. That’s mom life for you and you know what, I love my mom life. Gift giving can be tricky but everyone loves pizza! The little kids, teenagers, and on up. It’s just an all around crowd pleaser. Plan a pizza date with your favorite person or kid. Ok don’t pick a favorite kid(even if you have one) include them all! These cute pizza printables are fun with a gift card to a pizza place. You can also have them out with ordered pizza or in a small pizza box. If you are making a pizza night box you can include movie night goodies like popcorn and candy. You could also gift it with a pizza plushie, shirt, or something else decorative. read more

Happy Friyay! It’s the time of the week to have some wine. Wine is best with a girlfriend while catching up and talking about life. Life, kids, or random fun conversations with friends. Isn’t it?!

Conversation Heart Games

Games, Uncategorized, Valentines Day / By Valerie

One of my favorite Valentine’s Day candies is conversation hearts. I actually will always go for chocolate over this type of candy but when it comes time for Valentine’s Day I have to buy conversation hearts. More because they are bright and cheery. They are colorful and well colorful things in life are my jam including these cute colorful candy. They are fun on their own but I wanted to make them even more fun by using them for easy Valentine’s Day Conversation Heart Games! These are fun games to play with kids and adults over some cocktails. Adults can enjoy little simple games too. However, they are definitely kid approved, I tested them out on my kiddo and she had a blast! I made a couple of classics Tic Tac Toe and Connect Four. Then I added a couple dice game options. read more

Conversation Heart Printable Decorations

Not only are conversations cute on their own but you can use them for decorations at parties! Put some in a vase with tea lights or flowers for centerpieces. Spread them over tables for an edible confetti. They are just the cutest candy ever and they make the best decorations. I decided to make some printables inspired by these adorable little candies. They are bright colors and have fun sayings on them. I added a hey girl even though it’s not on a heart because I love that meme! These would be great for a Galentine’s Day party. read more

Lips Valentine’s Day Cupcakes

Cupcakes, Valentines Day / By Valerie

I am a sucker for cute and silly cupcakes! If you have been to my site before, chances are you have seen some cupcakes or other cute desserts. I don’t make anything fancy because I am not a professional. My goal with making desserts is to make them simple so myself and others can actually achieve the look. These fun little kissing lips cupcakes are really cute for Valentine’s Day. It’s a day all about love and love involves some smooches. My daughter knows I give way too many smooches. She is at the age where she isn’t wanting me to kiss her as much so I have to sneak them in when I can. She’s a little fiveager, acting like a teenager but she’s only five. It is my job as a parent to kiss her in public and embarrass her in front of her friends. These kissing lips Valentine’s Day cupcakes are a fun treat for Galentine’s parties as well. I made them a few different ways to try them out and see what looked best. I tried to give them a bit of an illustrated/cartoon look. You can get creative with how to make them. read more

Decorated Dollar Store Chocolate Box Gifts

1 Comment / Candy, Crafts, Valentines Day / By Valerie

Whenever I am at the store around Valentine’s Day I see these little chocolate boxes with cheesy pictures on them. I typically just pass them by because the pictures of flowers or puppies don’t call to me. This year I decided those boxes could look really cute with a little extra love. They just needed a makeover to turn into the perfect gifts. It doesn’t take much to make these decorated dollar store chocolate box gifts. All I did was add some paint in a few fun colors and look how pretty they turned out! The paint completely transformed the boxes into modern fun gifts. These would be great gifts for Galentine’s Day, to hand out to friends, or family. I always have a hard time thinking of little gifts to give that also have a bit of a personal touch to them. Also, I sometimes just need an excuse to paint something. It had been way too long since I had taken out my paint brushes. I wouldn’t say I am the best painter ever but since I am not a professional I know anyone could make these pretty boxes. read more

Printable Valentine’s Day Gift Boxes

2 Comments / Printables, Valentines Day / By Valerie

Guess what? You’re like really pretty! I made these fun little printable Valentine’s Day gift boxes for friends and the person you are in a relationship with. I have ones for your gal friends and I also made up some funny ones to give to your love. The Galentine’s ones are the ones in the pictures with “You’re Like Really Pretty” “XOXO” and “Besides Chocolate You’re My Fav”. The one for your love are “You’re Really Hot” “So Hot Want To Touch The Hiney” and “Roses Are Red Blah Blah Chocolate”. What can I say, I am kind of a romantic! Okay, I’m a little weird with the mushy lovey dovey stuff. I like to show my love in sarcastic joke and dessert form. These printable Valentine’s Day gift boxes can be filled with chocolates or even other tiny gifts. They aren’t very big but super cute. I filled them with some easy colorful candy bark! I just used pink candy melts and colorful heart sprinkles. You can put them in a little bag and put that in the box or line it with parchment paper and put the bark right in there. It’s seriously such an easy gift to give. read more
