Valentine’s Day brownie mini-cupcakes
(Jan. 18, 2013) Around 9am, Nico decided he wanted to bake something, so he ended up picking a box of brownie mix we had gotten at the Dollar Tree on one of our US shopping trips. I had what was needed on the box, so we went for it. I don’t have a square pan so I thought lets do mini-muffins and since I’m not a fan of cleaning those muffin tins (neither is Alex, … Read entire article »

Valentine’s Day cupcake toppers
(Made Jan 7, 2012) I was looking for an easy craft Nico could do with glitter for Valentine’s Day, since he loves muffins so much, I came up with easy to make toppers. While I got the material, he decided to pour out the heart confetti and put them back into little containers. All I needed for this one was two sizes of self-sticking hearts (one is felt, one is foam in my case, it doesn’t matter … Read entire article »

Quick Lady Bug Café sign
This was our quick sign for our quickly improvised Lady Bug Café for Valentines Day dinner. I didn’t have a big poster board and couldn’t go buy one as Nico was sleeping. So I took 4 pink cardstocks and taped them together. Then I penciled the letters for the name, free handed. Don’t press to hard or it’ll be hard to erase, but I erased just enough to not have it show through the paint and … Read entire article »

Sweet memories – Valentines Day 2011
Last year at the same date we hadn’t done any Valentines Day craft like this year, we hadn’t bought presents like this year, we hadn’t planned a homemade dinner like this year, nor had we gone out. Sounds negative and boring? It might, but it wasn’t, now it just reminds us of the simpler times back then, we just made a batch of chocolate muffins, wore a shirt with red and had fun doing it. … Read entire article »
Heart coffee filter zipper pull
As part of our Valentines Day snail mail swap, I wanted Nico to make something for the kids to use. He enjoys coloring on coffee filters, so I thought suncatcher… nah not “useful” enough. Ok what else could we do using those laminated coffee filters…well they do become waterproof. Kids like things hanging off their zippers. Zipper pulls! So I had him do a few red coffee filters. I figured we’d get a really nice red going … Read entire article »
