The one thing I miss the most about being in school is decorating a little mail box for all of the valentines I would receive on Valentines Day. I loved waiting until the end of the day and seeing how many valentines I received from my classmates. Although it’s nice to get flowers and candy, I still miss getting valentines from my friends. I remember it being such a big deal to see who sent me a valentine, and how excited I was to see which boys included me!
Now that those days are over, I luckily have a child to live vicariously through for this holiday! I have a boy so it really won’t be the same (I can just see myself forcing him to write his friend’s names on valentines, or maybe by then they will be Valentine’s Day text messages?), but at least while he is little I can indulge in this holiday until he is too cool for it.
Pottery Barn Kids takes every holiday pretty seriously, which is perfect for a holiday-addict like myself. They even have a great section right now on their web page which includes how to host an awesome Valentines Day kids party, which includes crafts and recipes. Check out the link here:
