Valentines Day Ideas: Recipe and Craft Round Up

I forget how much I love Valentine’s Day now that I have children, until I start cooking up treats. I am not that creative when it comes to the Valentines for the class, especially since I have 3 kids and 20 plus students in each class. That is a lot of homemade Valentine Day cards. 

 I thought I would share some of Close to Home’s favorite Valentines Day  Ideas both crafts and recipes from over the years. Maybe you will find a new family favorite this year.  Plus link up any of your favorite Valentine’s Day CRAFTS or Valentine’s Day RECIPES below.

    Super fun! I love the looks of Valentines Day treats, but I have only made them once for my husband and his co-workers. They were red velvet cupcakes and were good, but wow did I feel out of my element.
