As you might already know, I live for celebrations, sweets, treats and fun! This has been a really fun Valentine’s Day time this year as I watch so many fun and creative ideas blow by! My friend April knocked it right out of the park with this adorable homemade crayon craft. Super fast and easy! I plan on doing these with my daughter this weekend. Although, I had an epic Valentine’s Day fail this week: I bought Valentine’s Day Mad Libs for my daughter to hand out along with pencils. Unfortunately, I was not paying attention and I bought Mad Libs for lovers. Yup, that one did not fly. #Momfail Thankfully, we’re going to bake together and do crafts. #MomMakeUp
