Valentine's Swap

Valentine’s is great because we don’t have to compete with a jolly man in a red suit, a littering bunny, or random fairy. Our kids know we are the ones who give them gifts just because we think they’re great.

Next year, instead of loading your kids up with a large heart filled with chocolate try this tip: Increase the size of the non-edible items and decrease the amount of candy. They won’t even notice they didn’t get a lot of candy. Don't go crazy on me and start giving out carrots. Keep the joy, just decrease the damage.

Great to include- a balloon, medium-sized stuffed animal, toy, flowers, cool clothes, or new craft supplies
