The kids have Valentine’s Parties coming up soon at school, so I thought I would start thinking about sweet treats now. I love Valentines Day because it is all about love and kindness. Some may think it is overly mushy but I think it is fantastic! Plus my daughters birthdays fall awful close to valentines which means I get to take advantage of all the pink and red decorations for birthdays! 😉
