I’m kind of a weird-o.
Valentine’s Day is my favorite winter holiday.
Of course I love Christmas…and I don’t love Valentine’s Day because I expect a fancy dinner out, jewelry and rose petals on every surface of my home (could you imagine the clean up?! UGH!).
I love it as a family day.
With two boys, I have made it a goal to teach them how to be appreciative of others and how to think of others in little ways. Valentine’s Day is a great day to teach this. I love making it a special day with tons of small details- fun, homemade crafts, heart shaped treats, pink and red foods…the list goes on. I try to avoid the commercialized “Hallmark-ness” of the day and focus on making our own fun all day long.
As for my fancy, romantic Valentine’s Day dinner? It will probably look like this again this year:
…and I couldn’t be happier!! I wait all year for my heart-shaped pizza dinner (perhaps with cherry sodas this year??)
I’m looking for more homemade Valentine’s Day ideas! Let’s hear them!

Love the mini weiner idea!! Awwww!! I’d love to see the pictures. I am so excited for Valentine’s Day this year…so fun!! I can’t wait.
I love Valentine’s Day too! The heart shaped pizza looks amazing. I hope that you and your family have a wonderful day!
I’d DEFINITELY be on-board for some heart-shaped pizza and cherry soda! LOVE IT! 🙂
I love that pizza. Last year for Miles’ class I made hotdog hearts. Get mini weiners, cut in half on an angle. Flip one around to make a heart shape. Keep together with a toothpick arrow. I even cut out cheese for the tip and feather end. I’ll post pictures and how-to soon!
