Valentine’s day in my house is a time to show each other we care. We don’t spend a ton on gifts. It’s usually just candy and something small. Valentine’s day should be more about actions than gifts. If you are in need of ideas, here are some gift guides I have put together by gender and age groups. This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small Commission at no cost to you.
I love to see the kids faces when they walk down the stairs in the morning and see the balloons and smell a hot breakfast waiting for them. Week day breakfast at our house is usually a toaster strudel, pop tart or cereal. To make the morning special, I bake a breakfast casserole that I prepare the night before. Waffles in the toaster with scrambled eggs and fruit is a quick but a little extra option as well.
Before they wake up, I decorate the breakfast nook with balloons and a valentines day banner. If you do not have the time or energy to do any of these things, it’s ok. One grand gesture is all you need. Swing by the drive through on the way home or have a carnation or balloon sent to them at school. Anything big or small to let them know you care, is all that is needed.
I hope this post was helpful. Happy Valentines Day!
The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.
Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

Found this gem on my phone. A day in the life if you will. Man I'm blessed. When your going through the motions it may feel mundain. Hindsight being what it is, I love those days where I get stuff done and get to hangout with my people. 🎄

Its Friday!
Have you finished shopping yet? I'm almost done.
Molly and I are making Christmas treats today. We will post some in stories as we make them. I forgot I have a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of the day. I better get moving.

if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣
this tree brings me so much joy ☺️
I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!
I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.

What a great gift these will make! So easy to make. Don't throw away those old coffee mugs or tea cups. I stead, make candles! Stay too Ed for step by step instructions from yours truly. The bag of wax has a great tutorial on it as well. Check my stories and highlights for the supplies.
