Bring on the Love!
It’s hard for me to remember how many decorations I have packed away in my holiday bins, especially when I try to buy things after holidays when they are cheaper. I was a little disappointed in the sparseness of my Valentine’s Day decor, but was happy to come up with a good display for the side table in my kitchen and to add a few homemade touches to the mix.
Pretty simple, eh?
I found this temple super cheap at Seagull Book last year. The light makes it extra exciting for the kids.
I want the kids to all aim for the temple in their future goals, especially when they think about love.
I displayed this book I made when the girls were little about how Jon and I met, fell in love, and got married in the temple. It has been fun hearing the kids read it and ask questions.
I also like reading it and remembering.
I love this simple heart chandelier I made from scraps of red, pink and white felt. I love how the hearts slowly twirl around when someone walks by or opens a door. Free is nice, too!
our fishbowl of scriptures about love
That about sums up the Valentine decor! The February bin was mostly full of heart dishes and cups.
Of course, there is our fishbowl full of scriptures about love, which I ...love. Each day during the first two weeks of February, we read one scripture and try to implement the challenge at the end.
Here are the Valentine recipes I’ve saved so far. I have lots of new ones to try this year. Let’s see if I can stick to the menu plan!
Happy Month of Love!
The girls were nice enough to make some heart-shaped snowflakes for me to dress up the wall a little more. A red wall makes things tricky!
I need to request more Valentine’s drawings from the kids since I only found one in my February bin!
Valentine’s books are out and being read already. I also included some President’s Day books on one side.
