 Happy Monday!  I can't believe that Valentine's Day is in one week!  I've always enjoyed celebrating holidays, but now that I'm a mom, I really look forward to finding new and fun things to do with my girls.  Baking is definitely our go-to and we've already made heart shaped Valentine's sugar cookies for our neighbors...after we taste tested a few first ;)

This is the first Valentine's Day that Em is old enough to really do activities together.  She wasn't quite two yet last year and well, glue and not fully understanding how to follow instructions is a messy combo.

Last year, I drew a heart on canvas, put the canvas in a large ziploc baggie, filled it with pastel colored paint and let her "finger paint" as gifts for our family.  Not messy and it was a lot of fun and something she still really loves doing.

This year we are celebrating with Gymboree and joining in on their #onebighappy campaign.  I love that I get to create life-long memories with these two!  Em gets so excited about doing things together and loves to include little sis.  

Going on mommy and me dates with both of them is a favorite of mine and so special.  These girls are truly my #onebighappy moment every single day.



I have a fun mommy and me picnic/tea party planned out for us out on our patio!  We will have little tea sandwiches, dessert, drink out of our fancy tea cups and the girls will have the perfect Valentine's Day outfits from Gymboree to wear.  We can't forget our mani/pedi's that we will be giving each other and ending with snuggles and watching our favorite movie.  Emma is going to be so excited!

I love being a girl mom so much! Obviously dressing them up is a big favorite and I'm lucky that they love dressing up too.  Em is obsessed with her glittery heart shoes and they have been on repeat since we got them.  She even tried to wear them to bed!

Something else that we do each year is take Valentine's pictures with our favorite photographer and the girls' Gymboree outfits were so perfect for them this year.  This is something that I look forward to now and makes my momma heart happy!  I can't wait to show you how they turn out!
