Sweet Sweets

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I'm seeing pretty treats everywhere.  Although I am not really a sweets kind of gal, these gorgeous treats sure have my mouth watering...







I can't wait to make these precious Conversation Hearts cookies from here.

Perhaps I'm just a sucker for hearts and all things pink!

Speaking of hearts and pink...there is a precious little girl that comes to mind...

This sweet little thing is almost ONE!  And she just took her first steps the other day.  What a big girl.

Printable Valentines

With Valentine's Day coming up, I'm working on some Valentines for Grayson's friends.  The problem: there are too many to choose from!  There are so many adorable cards, I'm at a loss at which one to choose.  Any of these would be perfect!

I mean, come on!  These are ridiculously cute!  Grayson loves rockets, too!

I love the "love rocks" theme, and these are so stinkin' cute.  You must see the party that inspired these!

I'm loving the robot trend right now!  These would be perfect.

Boys love choo choo trains!

I love these even though they are not meant for children.  Simple and sweet.

LOVE the vintage theme Valentines.  These match Grayson's table setting with the decor from Pottery Barn Kids.  Sarah found these free printables online and cut them out.  Precious for little girls and boys!  

Do you have a favorite?  Please tell me your thoughts!

Rainy Day Inspiration

While you may be experiencing snow blizzards in your neck of the woods, it's all thunderstorms here.  Not a bad way to spend the day with my boy cooped up indoors {in our pjs, nonetheless}.  I actually love days like this.  You don't have to feel guilty for not running your seemingly endless errands.  You can focus on things around the house {laundry, dishes, the things that are always piling up}, watch an old favorite movie, or spend wasteful time on the computer.  Let's just hope I don't go into labor in this weather!

If you're stuck indoors on this rainy {or snowy} day, you may also enjoy a fun, crafty activity to rid those rainy day blues.  It is February already, which means that Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  This also means that you may have already started thinking about that special someone in your life or fun valentines for your children's friends.  Here are a few fun activities that you and your child can enjoy doing together.

These adorable valentines are made out of flattened cupcake liners.  We all have these in the house, and they can easily be embellished with cute little touches.

Watercolor is a huge trend right now.  This photo from The Sweetest Occasion made me feel like a child again.  Pull out the paint, water, and brushes!

Who doesn't love a little hand?  Precious.

Have a sweet tooth?
Martha does it again with these cupcakes topped with fudge brownie hearts.  Yum!  

Try these adorable homemade heart-shaped marshmallows.  Recipe here.

Write a sweet, personal message on your cupcakes.  Pretty and delish!

Enjoy!  Happy first day of February!
