This school year I have been fortunate to be able to organize a few simple class parties for Kaylee’s 2nd-grade class. For Valentine’s Day the kids made little bags earlier in the week to hold their cards and today the children exchanged Valentines and had a great time reading through them while snacking on a small plate of treats.

We did the usual 100% juice boxes, a mini cupcake, and a few conversation hearts. I also wanted to add a little something on the healthier side so I brought a platter of heart strawberries. They turned out so pretty and the light in my kitchen was perfect so I did a quick photo shoot before walking out the door 🙂 These would be fun to make for a preschool party, too!

Aren’t these beautiful? You can almost smell them through the screen. Strawberries are my favorite and the kids loved them and thought they were “so cute”.

    These are just too adorable to even think of eating them! If only we could preserve them forever like this. Maybe a little spray varnish? Just kidding. They really are too cute!

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!
