Valentine's DayAll Ages2 Comments
Earlier this week, Cathy of NurtureStore and I hosted a very hoppin’ Valentine’s Day party for The Heart Project!
A bunch of moms joined the party and swapped ideas for Valentine’s Day, including family celebrations and traditions, as well as recipes and crafts.
Cathy shared yesterday a few of the Valentine’s crafts and recipes that party-goers chimed in with.
Today, I’m sharing!
