Stacey Hober: Valentine's Day

Happy Sunday!

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend. The sun is shining today but it's still really cold. We are spending the day at home, painting and doing some chores.

Valentine's Day is next week and I thought I would give a run down of what we do on that day. We don't really go all out for Valentine's Day. No fancy dinners or gifts. We usually keep it low key. I will give a few little gifts to Joe and have a Valentine's Day breakfast for Mason. For the past 20 years, Joe always gets me chocolate covered strawberries (MY FAVORITE) and a single rose. I loved roses back 20 years ago, so I guess he thinks I still love them and plays it safe. He's not so much for change! For Joe, I gather some lottery tickets, gum, protein bars and we have a yummy dinner and a sweet treat following. For Mason, I will pick up a pair of sunglasses, a couple books and a some candy. I also like to find some Valentine's jammies for the night before and a sweet heart shirt from Target for Valentine's Day! Check out the ones I bought for Mason this year. I don't know what I will do when he won't wear themed jammies or shirts anymore. We will eat at home and then Joe and I will binge on a Netflix show. Right now we are watching Controversies with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes It's really good but so weird and creepy.

I think Valentine's Day cards are my favorite part of Valentine's Day. I love how cute and sweet they are. Mason has done Valentine's every year for his grandparents, Aunt and cousins since he could understand. So this year I gave him a choice of what he wanted and this is what he picked out! These cute Pugs & Kisses are great for little ones. We added a Reeses candy heart or you can add any candy of your choice. I found this downloaded printable on Etsy from KudzuMonster.

We also added this Tic Tac Toe Valentine printable this year. Mason is obsessed with Tic Tac Toe so this was only suitable for his Valentines. I added a few crayons with Washie tape on the back. This was a printable from the Etsy shop, Craftivity Designs.

I love a good themed table scape and kids table. Mason looks forward to seeing what's on the table for every holiday. Granted, he wakes up the night before almost every hour asking to come out to see it. But it keeps holidays fun and I love to see the surprise on his face. I will probably keep it low key because we are in the process of painting our kitchen and living room. But I found so many pretty tablescapes on Instagram and narrowed down a few of my favorites for some inspiration!
