I love how handmade Valentine's look hanging around the house. We hung up a few we made last year and made a few more this year to add to our collection. I make sure to write the kid's name and year on the back. I expanded our art hanging station that also housed all our Christmas cards this year. It is proving to be a great place to hang art and add in a little seasonal decor.
And in case you are wondering, the happy princess day was a sweet gesture my husband and kids did during a week that was especially hard for me personally and pregnancy wise. Things have been looking up since then and the special day made me feel especially loved.
It was so fun to pull out all handmade decor I made years ago and have held on to. I don't have as much decor that I have made anymore but all the Valentine's stuff feels especially sweet and nostalgic with a handmade touch.
My Christmas gift this year were these new shelves and storage units (all from Ikea). I hope to put together a blog post with more details on our project. But until then I really love having a display space to decorate! It makes it a little easier to sprinkle in some seasonal decor now without overwhelming our functioning spaces.
And a little Valentine making with my little sweethearts! We bought a little kit last year and we are still getting some use out of them. Plus paper doily hearts also make great easy Valentine's with kids.
I love the little paper doilies on our backdoor window. A fun backdrop for photos of the kids while they craft.
And finally, my little decorating helper. She loved hanging the extra heart ornaments I had on all the cabinet knobs. Seeing my children take after some of my little hobbies and antics around the house definitely brings a lot of joy!
Happy Valentine's Day!
