    Bee Mine Valentine’s Math Addition and Subtraction Booklet

    January 20, 2021 / No Comments

    What does Valentine’s Math look like? Well, one plus one equals two. Just kidding. Valentine’s Day Themed Addition and Subtraction Booklet I mean Valentine’s Math isn’t much different than any other math, but at the very least it’s a cute little opportunity to sell math practice to your kids. One of mine had zero interest in math for years, so sometimes that meant adding some manipulable toys or tools to help make it tangible, or real. Whatever works sometimes to get them through. I hope you each have a beautiful Valentine’s Day with your family. There sure is a lot to celebrate about February. Valentine’s Day, Family Day, and more.…

    Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day

    February 12, 2019 /

    “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn has a lot of great quotes, but this one is my favourite.  What could be more worthy of celebrating than love? Lately I’ve been thinking about love. There’s love for your husband or wife, significant other; love of your children, your family, parents, and friends. Love of yourself matters too.  There are so many different kinds of love, but ultimately love is the thing that motivates us every day. We search for it, and sometimes we let it slip through our fingers, but on Valentine’s Day the best thing to do is celebrate it. This year I have…

    Make a Statement with Teleflora’s Valentine’s Day Bouquets

    February 6, 2019 /

    Is there any flower prettier than a red rose? Well, maybe lilies with red roses and carnations. Yeah that’s a Valentine’s Trifecta of gorgeous blooms right there. Valentine’s Day bouquets are a great way to let that special someone in your life know just how special they really are. Most years, my husband gets me a lovely bouquet. Occasionally I receive jewelry too. I am, as well all know by now, someone who LOVES flowers and jewelry. You simply can’t go wrong with either. To be completely transparent he often buys a lemon merengue pie too, because that is our favourite. I love them so much because it shows that my…

    DIY Printable Pirate Valentines for Kids

    February 2, 2019 /

    ARGH Matey, Pirates are the best. Pirate Valentines are the perfect simple cards for your child to give this year. What child hasn’t been captivated at least once in their childhood by pirates and treasure, adventure and gold? When I was a child I loved Valentine’s Day. There was something so sweet about making special cards for all of your friends and schoolmates and hand delivering them. Then there were always the school crafts. I loved making the cute little Valentine’s mailboxes or envelopes that we hung off of our desks. Something so incredibly simple but I still recall doing that today. You can borrow these Pirate Valentines and print…

    Charm Her With Valentine’s Day Jewelry

    January 28, 2019 /

    I’m a gal who loves jewelry. Jewelry and flowers – these are the way to my heart. Valentine’s Day jewelry is a winning gift every time in my opinion. Some of my favourite gifts have been charms for my bracelets. Necklaces and earrings always work for me too. For me, the beauty of a new piece of jewelry lies in the memory or emotion attached to it. Sometimes that’s as simple as recalling how happy and loved you felt when your kids, or your partner, gave you that new necklace or pair of earrings. Every time you put it on, you remember where you were and how it felt to receive that…
