Valentine's and Mardi Gras fall right before my twins' birthday, so because I'm busy planning their birthday party, I tend to skip those holidays, or throw something together for our family at the last minute. But this year, we were scouting Sprouts for the grazing...
My girls might be aghast at the idea of a non-candy Valentine, but since they are still eating their Christmas candy, it seems like a great idea to me! Here are my favorite non-candy Valentine's free printables. Whoopie Cushion Valentine From Smashed Peas &...
So, it's -- um, February 6. And Valentine's Day is just days away. So close in fact, that when I shopped this weekend, I saw more Easter than Valentine's decor! But I still want to pull off a little Valentine's celebration for my family. So that means I need a to...
If you follow me on Instagram, then you know I escaped my house for a little antiquing a few weeks back and stumbled upon a pink bar cart that I didn't know I needed. I stayed strong and left the bar cart at the store, but not...
For years, I've had the idea of a brown paper packages party in the back of my mind. I think it's a combination of how much my girls loved the UPS truck when they were little -- or, the "PS truck" as they called it -- and knowing that nothing makes a kid happier than...
Valentine's Day is such a fun time to decorate a little for the holiday. I try to do a little Valentine's Day breakfast with a few small gifts, and I've got to get busy with those plans soon. So I've started searching out free Valentine's printables, and today I'm...
For my Valentine's Classroom Party, I wanted to think of a low-cost way for the kids to decorate Valentine's Cay card boxes. While there are cute options in the craft stores, and you could certainly go the brown paper bag route, I really wanted a Valentine's box that...
One of my favorite party tricks is to transform an everyday item into something party special. It's a sure way to get a low-cost, high-impact result. Which led to me the candy aisle of CVS. (That and the need to pick up a Frappuccino and the latest Vanity Fair.) This...
Last weekend, we went to the dollar store for candy, and now my girls are busy making their classroom Valentine's Day cards. So you can imagine what my living room floor looks like. Markers, and glue sticks, and paper scraps, oh my! I'm glad they are enjoying their...
Did you miss yesterday's tips for planning a Classroom Valentine's Party? I used a tissue fan backdrop, which is a great choice for any party: inexpensive, quick to set up. Tissue fans are especially easy to transport if you have an away from home party. They come in...
This post is for all the class moms, trying to come up with an easy to plan, easy to transport, and inexpensive idea for a Valentine's Day Classroom Party. I staged this shoot at my house so that you could have these ideas in time for the holiday. But I kept the...

Given the ice storm heading Atlanta's way, my daughter may not get to take these to school, but I am loving our Cupid's Arrow Peeps Classroom Treats. These Valentine's Day treats could NOT be any easier. No bake, no fuss. Here's how. Supplies Heart-shaped Peeps Cookie...
As the mom of two girls, I sometimes forget about the boys. Give it a few years and all that will change ... (although, if you ask my husband, the girls are not allowed to date until they are 30. He always asks them, "When you start dating, do you want me to sit in...
I've gathered up a collection of free classroom Valentines and a few Valentine's Day party decorations. I'd love to see what you do with these! From Frog Prince Paperie From Frog Prince Paperie From Kind Over Matter From Fete a Fete From A Night Owl From Positively...
Last night, I ordered 64 white lollipops for my girls' classroom Valentine's. A little early, I know, but I never know when chaos is going to hit and if I can get something done early, I will. Have you started thinking about Valentine's Day? Here are some free...
This weekend, my sister-in-law and I hosted a bridal shower for our nephew's fiance, the very sweet Ashley. Since the party was so close to Valentine's Day, and Ashley likes a little vintage flair, we went with a hearts and doilies bridal shower theme. This was very...
The Valentine's Day free printables are coming out fast and furious as the holiday comes closer. Here are four of my favs. (And have you seen my new and improved Freebies page? I'm still building it out, but I add to it daily, so come back again and again!) From Paper...
Jennifer of BellaGrey Designs sent me her darling Valentine's Day party that was inspired by her kiddos. The silver, white and red color palette feels so fresh. Jennifer created all the printables shown here (and you can find them in her Etsy shop). Jennifer says, "I...
One of my sweet sponsors, Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams recently introduced her XOXO printables collection for Valentine's Day, and it was so cute, I immediately asked Keisha if I could share it with you. I love how bright and vivid the collection is. The pop...

I'm still working on decorations for a Valentine's Bridal Shower I'll be co-hosting in February. You've seen my drink bottle wraps and banner here. Today, I'm creating a little art piece. This is another easy, quick and inexpensive project. Here's how to make...
My sisters-in-law and I are planning a Valentine's themed bridal shower for one of the THREE(!) family weddings coming up in the next eight months. That means I am all about Valentine's Day free printables, and I get to share some of my favorite finds with you! From...
Every Christmas I wind up with odd remainders of wrapping paper that I hope will fit some gift but never does. I usually wind up rolling these scraps up and saving them for next year, when they are still too small to do any good. This year, it occurred to me to create...
It's our last blast for Valentine's free printables before the big day. I've found cards, wall art and envelope wraps for you - enjoy! Cards (or tags) from Paperbox Press. Love that middle one ... it makes me think of Eloise. Air Mail style card from The Wonder...
I'm feeling a little overwhelmed just now ... planning two back-to-back birthday parties, and working with Ahoy Graphics on launching my new site, so my blogging may be a little spotty this week. But never fear, thanks to the magic of Pinterest, I can highlight a few...
You may have seen my Facebook post from last night about Sassy Sites's round up of Valentine's printables -- 73 by my quick count. So I almost took the night off. But, I've managed to find three cute Valentine's Day free printables that (I think!) didn't make that...
