Easy Kid Valentine's Day Activities

Be my valentine

by: Caroline Fernandez

How do I love thee? Let me craft the ways. Here are some easy kid-led activities for Valentine's day for your little ones to "show" their Valentine love.

Heart in hot chocolate

Have the kids drizzle chocolate in the shape of a heart or have them "draw" a heart shape, with a straw, in the foamy bubble-goodness of their hot chocolate.  It's kinda like a hug in a cup.

Is allowance a bribe or teaching tool?

by: Caroline Fernandez

Disclosure: For the 1st time in my parenting life, I gave my kids an allowance last week…and I feel guilty.
