valentine's day 2018
Valentine's Day. What a fun little holiday to celebrate all kind of love: family love, love among friends, romantic love.
We rolled out and decorated sugar cookies after school.
Typically the sugar cookie process is entirely from scratch, but this year as I was shopping for sprinkles and decorations I saw the frosting and thought, "For heaven's sake, just buy it." It was one of those moments where I realized, I didn't have to make the frosting in order for this to be enjoyable for our family. The kids surely didn't give a hoot if I made it or if it came in a plastic jar. Sometimes I need to recognize when something just doesn't matter. Like frosting.

Over the years I've come to learn and recognize what I enjoy doing with my kids during holidays and what things are more exhausting than fulfilling. I love to decorate for most holidays in some simple way. 
Writing things we love about one another has become a simple, yet meaningful tradition. The kids sure got a kick out of reading what we wrote last year. This year I grabbed some paper doilies to use to write words of love and kindness to one another.
