homemade heart crayon valentines for your friends that make like colourful!

I think i’ve started like 3 blog posts with “I love putting together gift baskets” … but i TRULY do! I love picking a colour scheme and finding little items that go together to create a fun little collection of goodies! I just love watching my kids pull everything out and get excited about each item too.

A fun little all-things-pink-hearts Valentine’s Day party with my 2 little loves! Let’s eat yummy treats, drink strawberry milk, make a donut craft and celebrate love day!

Here are a few things I am loving this year for Valentine’s Day - and what I am planning for a little party at home!

Let’s decorate christmas cookies! We decided to make it special with a few sweet decorations from A Little Confetti, and kept it easy by getting a cookie decorating kit from Blue Eyed Baker!

a sweet little pastel halloween party featuring cute ghosts, peachy pumpkins and mini witch party hats! I love celebrating halloween a week before - the kids get to wear their costume, eat treats and enjoy the halloween excitement, while still getting to do all of the actual halloween festivities on the real day!

our second annual bunny brunch was THE cutest! I have been wanting to do a Peter Rabbit themed party for a while - I love the idea of decorating with fresh garden florals + vegetables. Our sunny dining room transformed into Mr. McGregor’s garden - even if spring hasn’t fully arrived yet!

here’s everything I put in our kiddo’s easter baskets this year! I love finding fun and useful things that the kids can play with! We used these fun sun jellies baskets this year - and I loved the bunny bath towels!

we celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a little lucky charms party! featuring green smoothies, green pancakes, green balloons, and of course RAINBOWS!

Lauren needed some valentine cards to share with her preschool classmates, so I made these little cards for her to pass out, and packaged them up with these sweet tic-tac-toe cookies from Blueeyed Baker!

I loved putting these baskets together for Valentine’s Day! Some cute snacks, pajamas, an outfit, socks, a book, and a few fun little things to play with all tucked into some useful crates that we will be able to use again and again!

we had a fun heart party to celebrate valentine’s day this year! We had a big stack of heart waffles with a heart sparkler candle, heart shaped sugar cookies, and of course - conversation heart candies! we decorated with heart and x+o balloons, made valentine cards and bracelets.

Here are 16 of the cutest valentine's day books for children (in my opinion!) I had to stop myself at 16, but there are so many sweet books about love, hugs, kisses, hearts, and friendship. My kids love books and I love giving them books for special occasions - and I always include a book in their gift baskets!

a colourful and fun holiday snack plate to share! Milk and cookies, candy canes and of course - chocolate!

Here is a round up of some sweet stocking stuffer ideas for kids from local and Canadian-made small shops!
