My girls have always had a love for music and it makes this mama so happy. There isn't a single car ride that doesn't involve music requests around the clock and spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen are a thing in our household. Needless to say "we've got a feeling inside our bones" and we decided to fuel their musical passions with piano lessons recently.
Easy & Sweet Valentine's Day Gifts
I try to find new class Valentine's gifts each year for my girls and I also try to avoid junk since they get plenty of it on this holiday. This year I gave the girls a few options and they both chose Slap Bracelets. When I picked up the girls from school several of their classmates had them on and the girls said they were such a hit. I also found it was a great option for boys and girls. So many of the cute ideas were only appropriate for one gender. I found them online in bulk and so it was really cheap. I found the printable online, printed and cut them out. Lastly, I used a little craft tape to attach the gift tag to the bracelets.
I've included a couple more ideas that I used in our Valentine's Week of Love. If you've been around here for awhile you know I've done this activity with my mom since I was a very young girl. We've continued the tradition my whole life and were so excited to pass on the tradition to my kids. This year was so crazy that I didn't get to photograph a few of the gifts but here is a small sample:

How to Throw a Valentine's Brunch
I live for the holidays and I try to make each one of them extra special for my girls. I've done a holiday brunch for as long as I can remember and they are no longer a surprise for the girls but they still have a huge amount of excitement for them. I try to make each one a little different so it's fresh for all of us. These holiday breakfasts don't take a lot of time or money but I think they have a big impact. I usually keep things from year to year and reuse them and use things I already have around the house.
