As a kid, did you ever give out little cards to your friends on Valentines day?  I did and it was just as fun to make the cards as it was to give them out.  With Valentines day less than 3 weeks away, I thought you might like this sweet DIY love arrow kit that I came across.  The kit contains everything you need to make 10 arrows with messages attached, the only extras you will use are scissors and glue.  Kids around 6 and over will be able to do this craft all by themselves and when they’re done they can add a personal message to each arrow.

I’m so not in to the whole commercial side of Valentines day but I like the sentiment behind the day.  Doing a special DIY craft with the kids is a simple and sweet way to mark the day and perhaps follow that with a special family meal at home.  This love arrow kit is such a pretty DIY and a lot more unusual than giving out cards.  You’ll find the kit at Clafoutis (a lovely little party shop) who made it in collaboration with La maison de Loulou where you’ll find lots more beautiful DIY’s.

Eat, play, love…

"heart cushion, heart bread, heart poster"I’m not really in to the whole Valentines day thing.  It’s a bit too commercial for me but I still appreciate the sentiment behind the day.  If you’ve been a couple for a while it’s easy to take each other for granted so for me Valentines is a day to remember and appreciate all the little things I love about my husband.  We have never exchanged gifts or celebrated in a big way but if the mood struck, we would do something impulsive and fun.  Of course impulsive has gone out the window these days as having a child involves a lot of pre-planning.  But tomorrow I am thinking of having a fun day and evening with child and husband.  I haven’t yet decided what I’ll do as I’m such a last minute person but I do know it will involve the 3 things that matter most to us… eat, play and love!  And with that in mind I gathered a few images that say just that to me:

1.  An illustration of a pair of Valentines bears… 2.  A heart decoration for the heart of your home … 3. A Valentines bread loaf to bake… 4.  A fun and playful pillow called Harriet the heart
