Is it too early for some Valentine Lovin'?

I am sucker for Valentine's Day! Even more so since I've had Caeden and Claire. I feel like their own personal cupid and I can't help but start to think about how to make Valentine's Day special for them (and I have even already got Wayne's present figured out. I am an over achiever like that. Love me anyway, please.)

So look at this sweet swimming suit. It has nothing at all to do with Valentine's Day, but it reminds me of it with that sweet color. And look at the matching swim cap? So cute I can hardly stand it. Both found at Janie and Jack. I hope Target makes a cute knock off of this. Target, are you listening??

I have a confession. I bought Caeden a gingerbread house to decorate for Christmas, but we ran out of time and never got it out of the box. I am so glad I found this picture! We will be turning it into a "love shack" instead!! Sometimes procrastination can be brilliant. I am not sure where I found this picture? I think Twig and Thistle, but I am not positive.

Here's my favorite idea so far. Are these little treat bags not the cutest? The best part is that the graphic is free, so you can download it and print it on paper bags, a large sticker (to adhere to another bag or whatever), etc. Guess what is inside? Heart shaped brownies. Adorable!!

Get the free download here. Get the adorable striped straws (other colors available, too) for .05 each at Garnish. Get the paper bags (sets of 25 for $5) here.

You know, if you don't want to go to the trouble of downloading the free graphic, you could always break out the stickers or stamps or glitter glue or whatever your little munchkin is into and have them decorate their own (use paper lunch bags) and use pinking shears to snip off the tops for that same cute look. That's probably what I will end up doing.

Last year, I posted about the kids' felt Valentine envelopes (can be found here on Etsy). I write them a love letter every year and it's waiting for them Valentine's morning. They may not love it now, but I hope someday the letters will be just another tradition that come to look forward to (and love letters to have forever). Mine came super fast last year, so I think there is still plenty of time to order/get them before V Day.
