Happy Valentine’s Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

No, I did not come up with this idea.  I got it from my friend Kim’s blog two years ago.  I’m sure it is being pinned alive on pinterest this year. The kids and I had a fun time taking the photos and picking out the font and color for the front of their Valentines.  They found writing their classmate’s names on the back to be a bit tedious, but overall, this is a very … Read entire article »
