Is it just me, or do all holidays get more fun once you have kids? As Abbie’s gotten older, it’s been especially fun to explain the holidays for her, and so fun to see her enjoy all the traditions.
One tradition I wasn’t expecting to do for a while was handing out Valentines. I always handed out the store bought ones at school, and I always expected to do the same with Abbie once she got to elementary school. I thought I had a few more years, but lucky for me, some of my blog friends decided to have our kiddos exchange Valentines with each other! For the past few weeks, Abbie has been getting a Valentine or two every day, and I piled them up for her to open at once.
In typical toddler fashion, once I sat her down to open them all up, she would NOT cooperate. I got her to open a few before I dug into all the goodies – you guys, my blog friends are SO talented!

I had grand plans to create PJ Masks for everyone from these templates, but that completely fell apart. Let’s be honest – I didn’t have the time or patience to cut everything out, so as always, I turned to Etsy. I found these Valentine’s and was able to get them in digital download, then added some M&Ms and called it a day.
Every kid likes candy on Valentine’s Day, right?
Hope you have fun hopping around to all the posts and happy early Valentine’s Day!

We loved your Valentine’s!! Cam is a huge fan of pj masks so it was a hit! 🙂
Oh good I’m so glad!!!!
Noah loved the m&ms and seeing pj masks on it!
Oh good!
Elin loved the M&M’s. Those are definitely the way to her heart!
I figured most of the kids would like them, so I’m glad!
PJ Masks was a huge hit here! Hattie loved it! And you can’t find anything PJ Masks yet!
I know! They’re taking FOREVER to come out with stuff!
Loved yours, of course! I am not sure if Cam loved the candy or PJ Masks more! I may or may not have eaten Louise’s, so thank you! 😉
Haha, I figured that would be the case for the littlest ones 😉
Dude…these were SUCH a big hit at our house! And thank you so much for sending one for each kid – you have no idea how much fighting you saved me from with that! You’re the best!
Yay! Also, I didn’t even think of not sending two. Mim gets her own or I suspect Mac would take hers….
Aria was so excited when she saw PJ Masks! I’m sure she was just as thrilled with the image as with a big ol project of masks, so I say you went with the right choice ha. Funny she didn’t want to open her cards. I mean did she see the goodies in some? Aria was all over that part.
I think it was because I wanted her to do it. “Oh, mommy wants this?” Nope.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this idea. Shoot, I need to be online more….or REALLY get back into reading blogs (i need more time in the day!!), because this is what I miss. So much fun! Julia just mailed out two cards to her grandparents today, and she was beyond excited when she got some Valentine cards the other day from them. It’s the little things!
It is! Glad she was able to exchange with her grandparents!
