Did Valentine’s Day sneak up on you, too?

Though the children and I have already attended a Valentine’s Day party and written out many Valentine wishes, I have made no plans for our family.

Sometimes I feel like I give so much that I am spent by the time the special day arrives. If you are feeling this way, hang on.

There are a number of options to still make this Valentine’s Day special.

Need a Card?

Still need a card? Walgreens is offering $.99 customizable photo cards. To get yours,

1. Click on this link.

2. Choose a 5×7 folded card.

3. Design it.

4. Use the coupon code LOVE99 at checkout.

5. Pay $.99 for in-store pickup or $1.49 for shipping.

This Walgreens offer is good through February 15, 2012 with a limit of 5 cards per account.

Do you already have Valentine’s Day cards? This offer is available on all 5×7 folded cards. In planning ahead, consider birthdays, anniversaries, St. Patrick’s Day, or Easter options. Then when the next event sneaks up, you are one step ahead.

Need a Food Idea?

Breakfast: Heart-y Pop Eyes

Lunch: Cute cutouts and a love-ly lunchable option

Dinner: Heart Pizza (kid friendly) or just a home-cooked dinner for two. 🙂

Dessert: Heart-shaped cookies or brownies

Even if Valentine’s Day arrived sooner than expected, you can still make the day special. At our house, I’m thinking the heart-shaped brownies. We can bake together in the kitchen drumming up a delicious dessert while using time wisely. Happy Valentine’s Day!
