Celebrating my Favorite Loves

This year I was really feeling the Valentine spirit.  Just full of ideas for lots of crafty fun.  As mentioned, I made the praline-shaped bath bombs for my friends, and for my family I made this Valentine Bingo game.  We played it for Family Home Evening the Monday before Valentine’s day and at least one other time.  DSC_0272 I laminated the boards and pieces so we can save it and play it for years to come.  Also, kind of scary how many different heart stamps I had!  I think there was 32!!!!

As a fancy treat, I also made chocolate dipped strawberries.  They are super simple to do, but finding strawberries in Switzerland in February is what makes the dessert so special.  I didn’t even let myself look at the price, cuz it was definitely outrageous, but the kids were so excited and felt so privileged to have a “grown up treat”.  It was worth it.

We also did our traditional Valentine’s mailboxes this year.  Inside them I put these little Lovebug suckers.  They were so cute, and the kids really liked them.  Most of them tried very hard to get out the sucker while still keeping their bug intact.  DSC_0276

And along with our heart shaped pizza for lunch I almost made a cheesecake for Valentine’s day dessert.  Mhhmmm, cheesecake!  Even most of the kids like it, especially with the delicious fruit topping.DSC_0284 It was really fun spreading the celebration out over a whole week, rather than trying to cram all my ideas into one day. That would have been too much, but this was just perfect.  I am already planning for next year…Happy Valentine’s Day to all my sweet little loves!
