A Special Way to Celebrate Valentine's Day with Your Kids
As a mom of 5 boys, I'm always looking for creative ways to celebrate Valentine's Day that don't involve pink, lace, and anything too "lovey" (which definitely don't go over well in this home!)
Over the years, my boys and I have enjoyed some pretty cool Valentine's Day activities - from poetry teatimes to card decorating contests.
This year, I'm taking our Valentine's Day celebration to the next level with a holiday unit study, and I can't wait to share it with you!
After the massive success of our other holiday unit studies, I'm super pumped up to dive into learning more with my boys about Valentine's Day and why we even celebrate this holiday.
