I think Valentine's Day is dumb but my kids think it's awesome. Their love of all things L.O.V.E. has rubbed off on me and I'm excited to celebrate love with them this year.
My oldest even helped make these rockin' Valentine's Day cards for his class.

I'm also equally excited for my cliché Valentine's Day date night with my hubby. We haven't been out alone together in two months. Woah. I can't wait.
Raffi, age 5, has already told me his plan of waking me up with kisses. So sweet.

Alessandra, our wild middle child, has decided that she will be nice to her big brother for THE WHOLE DAY on Valentine's Day. Let's she if she can do it. Valentina, not even age 2, will surely follow the older two's lead of loving the day. Anyway, I think spending money for Valentine's Day is silly and I'm no Pinterest-mom but I'm sucked in this year.
Here are some free Valentine's Day surprise ideas for your kids:

* Write a cute note on a napkin for your child's lunchbox. Your kid will love to find a surprise come lunchtime at school!
* Make a pink smoothie! 1 cup milk, handful of frozen strawberries, one banana and 6 ice cubes. You'll have a delicious pink smoothie to enjoy!
* Cut any food into a heart shape. This one is so easy and only takes a few seconds. I made heart grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch today, and while they weren't Pinterest-worthy the kids thought they were the bomb.
