Kindness, Love & Friendship Books for Littles

Updated: May 31, 2020


Here we are approaching one of my favorites days. Well actually it's my favorite day because it is my mama's birthday! And after having kids I really fell in love with the day as an opportunity to celebrate, love and friendship. I also love any chance to make any day super special for my girlies.


First off we already started crafting, then put away our Christmas books and took out our Valentine's Day books! So of course I thought I'd share some favorites, some which we keep out all year round.



These are all some of my favorites and a few of these we are adding to the girls collections. I take this opportunity to remind the girls how important it is to show important people how much they mean to us.

13 Valentine's Day Crafts

Updated: May 29, 2020



You guys voted 50/50 on sharing a roundup of crafts and valentines day cards on my instagram so I will be sharing this round-up of Valentine's Day crafts and then next week I'll share some card ideas! We have bought these little kits from Target often, I also love these too, I keep a container for each holiday and let the girls pull them out during free time (AKA non screen time). Zoe gets very into all of her designs and Ami just loves gluing (glue sticks are easier for littles), cutting and peeling tape off the little sticker hearts and will do it for an hour! So your crafting doesn't have to be insanely planned, they will enjoy it no matter what!


1. This blog is one of my favorite for all types of ideas but especially crafts!

2. These lacing hearts are so fun, I let the girls use the whole puncher last week and they are obsessed, so these were easy for them to make themselves and then we used red yarn!

3.We made some similar wreaths to these but with leaves for Fall and then gifted to our neighbor! you can use scrap paper or even newspaper and just paint red pink and purple to be more festive. It's also a great way to use up some art work and make into gifts for loved ones.

4. We made these heart crafts but with paper plates last year!

5.These little doggies are adorable.

6.This flap book is just adorable, perfect for kiddos about 6+ (you have to pay to download).

7.I am a fan of ANY craft with a handprint!

8. These lollipops are more of a treat than a craft but OMG what a neat idea, so easy too. I may make these with the elderberry gummies!

9. I just pinned these V-Day Science Experiments for the girls and I to do.

10. These little frames would make greta gifts to mail out to family!

11. Toilet paper roll crafts are the girls favorites, they are FOREVER saving all the rolls.

12. These mosaic hearts would be awesome, not only do my girls love any cutting activity but gluing is on top!

13. Pink Glitter Slime Experiment , my girls would love this.


And don't forget to follow me on Pinterest, I have this TotSchool Board with ideas for our week on Valentine's Day, and this other one for V-Day in general. You will find all sorts of inspo! Hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday.

What We Are Reading: 14 MLK Jr Books For Littles

Updated: Apr 13, 2021



Teaching the girls what stands behind 3 day weekends is really important part of parenthood for us. Especially Martin Luther King Jr Day. And like almost everything else in life I turn to books. So I ordered the girls a few to help explain the importance that MLK Jr has on our history and why we celebrate his birthday. Of course I thought I'd share a little round-up in case you (like me) were looking for some recommendations.






This has totally got me thinking about all the books every home should have in their library, or what books do I think we should definitely have... Which ones do you think you need or do you have that are musts?
