Valentine's Cards

Beyond the excitement of carefully planned date nights, flower arrangements, and chocolate boxes, Valentine’s Day provides the opportunity to illustrate the depth of care to those we love the most. It’s easy for our kids to simply look at this holiday and see the world’s emphasis on money and materialism. For our family, Valentine’s Day’s has a deeper meaning that emphasize a special type of care and love for one another.

It seems like celebrating holidays is becoming more complicated. Keep it simple! We plan on sharing ready-made Valentine’s Day cards with the kids’ classmates. They don’t need to be big and fancy; it is the time and thought behind them that counts. These easy valentines make it fun for our boys to share their love with their friends.

It is also an opportunity to get some extra writing practice in with your rascals. Make it fun and work on them together!
