Last Minute Valentines’ Ideas

 

As has become traditional round here, we’re all about the last minute Valentines.  And since it’s Valentines’ morning already we are taking the definition of last minute to new extremes.

Still here are some things you can do to surprise the family this evening.

Get the kids to work on this cute colour mixing chart courtesy of Art Projects for Kids.

Or make or buy pink and white loaf cakes (pound cakes) and have fun with cookie cutters (courtesy of Matthew Mead).

Set the kids to work again. This time with buttons (courtesy of Hands On As We Grow).

Or let them get busy with heart-shaped doilies (from Say Yes to Hoboken).

Have breakfast for dinner tonight, and break out the squeezy pancake bottle (via Recipe By Photo)

Or if you’ve been organised enough to get a gift, but not any wrapping paper (er, that would be me), here’s a cute gift wrap idea from Babble.

Or maybe you could just arrange some fruit and make a pretty Valentines’ photo. From DaitoZen.

However, and with whomever, you are celebrating today, make sure you tell someone you love them. To all my lovely readers out there, I LOVE YOU very much!

  • Cindy on A Right Pain in the Butt

    Paola,

    Just happened upon your blog and am thoroughly enjoying it...something I don't normally do. Anyway, hope your sciatica is better. I went through the same thing and it lasted about six months. Went to chiropractor, didn't help; deep tissue massage was helpful; had a TENS treatment that worked for several hours; stopped all exercise, except walking; bought 'Lose the Back Pain' and was very faithful to the program's stretching regimen..all to no avail. Bought an inversion table, which I found to be very helpful by getting blood supply to that area. After lots of laying on the couch, eventually, without any doctor intervention, I finally came out of it. I also discovered yoga during this time. My lower back pain still persisted, but that was nothing compared to the pain in my glute. Now, four years later I'm starting to get that feeling again in my glute...not good. The good news, however, is recently my lower back pain has disappeared. I think I know why. Good luck to you, but I honestly think it's something you have to work through on your own and it will go away.

  • Uncle Beefy on Palm Springs Uptown Design District Shopping and Dining Guide

    This all looks FANTASTIC, Miss Paola! Hopefully, we get the chance to check out all of these fab recommendations!

  • k on Things I Am Loving: Forms in Nature

    That's amazing. I don't think I could sleep in there, though. (Chicken.)

  • Dana on Project 52: Sign of the Times

    You are totally right. When did the Minx get so big? You've taken a beautiful picture of her.

  • Dana on Gulf Shores Food Photography Workshop

    What captivating photos Paola. I had never even heard of Gulf Shores before (inveterate West Coaster here) and now would love to see for myself. I am very much interested in how this workshop changed you and your work, so please consider further posts about your experience.
