    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…

    35 Valentine’s Day Gifts That Are Not Chocolate

    January 17, 2019 /

    This posts contains affiliate links as a service. I receive a small commission on purchases made via qualifying links. To gift or not to gift, that is the Valentine’s Day question. Basically if you are asking, then pretty much the answer is always get a Valentine’s gift, or even Valentine’s Day gifts. Now, it doesn’t necessarily have to be huge or expensive, but you should cover all bases and be sure that your loved one is not disappointed or upset if you ignore the day altogether. But chocolate and candy are so overdone. I mean honestly a box of chocolates, while yummy, doesn’t last and shows exactly zero creativity. So, what…

    Valentine’s Gifts for all Your Loves #LoveHallmarkCA

    February 9, 2017 /

    Truth be told I was feeling a bit sad and nostalgic this Valentine’s Day. My kids are older and Valentine’s Day no longer holds childlike magic for them. My youngest daughter and I had a chat recently about her feeling too old to write out Valentine’s cards any more. BUT, then Hallmark sent a batch of their cute and fun Valentine’s Day Treasures for 2017 and I am OVER THAT entirely. Valentines gifts from Hallmark are timeless. There are cute items to suit all ages and all of your many loves. There is a gorgeous wristlet this year that is FOR MOM (i.e. MINE) I have been looking for one for…

    Happy Heart Health Month – Facts About This Vital Organ #ad

    February 1, 2017 /

    This post has been generously sponsored by Bayer.  Heart Health is incredibly important to me. Why is that? Well, a few years ago I had a high blood pressure reading, followed by another one and so on until I was worried I’d need regular high blood pressure medication. I narrowly turned that around with lifestyle changes and my wireless home blood pressure monitor, but I still monitor it. But heart health remains top of mind for me daily. This month everyone has hearts and love on their mind. Every single store is full of heart shaped chocolates and pillows and candies. Romantic love is celebrated and Valentine’s cards are shared. Maybe…

    February 3, 2016 /

    Are you looking for some cute printable Valentine’s for your child to give out this year? For that group of school kids that’s a bit older than the Treehouse set? Look no further. I have printable Baymax Big Hero 6 Valentine’s printables. Do you remember when this one first came out at the theatres? Baymax was so adorable! We loved Big Hero 6 from the start. It’s a crowd pleaser for most ages really. Not entirely unlike Inside Out, which I also adored. I have featured a lot of Valentine’s Day content here this year and last year as well. But I haven’t had any actual printable Valentine’s until now. So…
