DIY Valentine’s Day Crafts and Decorations

Now that my kids are getting a little bit older I am starting to realize how important it is to do things as a family to celebrate a holiday. It makes the holiday so much more fun and special. We could all use a little more celebration every now and then! It just requires a bit of effort on our part sometimes. 😉

Have fun creating something this year with the kiddos or with loved ones. Here’s a nice little round-up of some of our favorite homemade Valentine’s Day cards and DIY Valentine’s Day crafts…
