I know people can have... feelings about Valentine's Day. It can be cheesy and depressing and lots of other not great things, but I have found that I kind of love Valentine's Day with kids. We like to make heart shaped pizzas and make punny valentines for their friends, and really it's all just fun and low pressure. The kids love picking out little toys or trinkets to hand out to their classmates, and we work together to come up with little cards to go with what they picked out. Often, those cards end up as free printables here on on the blog. This year I had an idea for a crafty little Valentine's Day gift - washi tape! I think they turned out pretty cute, and if you want to make some, you know I've got you covered with that free printable. ;) I thought these little valentines ... [Read More]

I was really into 1950's culture as a kid. When I turned 12, my best friend and I planned a joint birthday party with a 50's theme. We instructed everyone to dress up in poodle skirts and 50's gear, and we went to Sonic for burgers and shakes. (The employees were so shocked impressed that a bunch of kids would dress up to go to a fast food restaurant that they took a picture of us and we ended up in the company newsletter.) After shakes, we went back to my house and my friend and I performed a choreographed dance routine to "Love Potion No. 9" for our friends because that is a totally normal thing ... [Read More]
