Love Fills Our Home~

.............
LOVE, Sweets and crafts fill our home these days.
We do our best to not dive into the commercialism of Valentines day. There are so many heart warming gestures you can do without spending too much money. Really where do you put all of those singing toy monkeys as the years pass?
Spend time together baking and crafting.
Crafting words on the wall of LOVE.
Heart shaped sweets.
Apple stamps for valentine's day cards.
  Good Fun, Enjoy.
PS, While crafting with Apples Little Man says, "Mom this is really fun, but there are starving kids and we are wasting our apple."
What do I say to that? I have to say he did have a great point.
Here's to you enjoying the season of LOVE!

You are so good about crafts!! I think that I will make a special little breakfast for my family tomorrow morning, and maybe bake some sugar cookies...it all depends on how quickly I can get the barn cleaned lol!

I'd better get to work,
