Homemade valentines: What was I thinking?
I always seem to come up with these grand ideas that almost always backfire.
My latest? Homemade valentines.
I found this adorable project online for lollipop flowers. Basically, you cut out hearts, glue four of them together to make a flower and then poke the sucker through it. Tada!
I thought it would be a nice way for my 4-year-old and I to bond. And, she absolutely loves craft projects. Seemed like a win-win to me.
Little did I know this little project would consume my entire week.
“Why can’t you just buy the store ones?” my DH David asked me at least five times this week?
“That’s what everyone else will have, and I want Sophie’s to be special. Besides she wants to do ‘something crafty’,” I annoyingly replied at least five times.
I nearly hit my breaking point last night as glue droppings covered my coffee table, little scraps of scrapbooking paper were all over the floor, my 18-month-old was trying to eat said scraps and Sophie was trying to convince me in the whiniest voice ever that her missing green safety scissors cut so much better than the identical brown ones she had been using.
Where’s the love this Valentine’s Day?
I’m happy to report, only two more to go tonight before tomorrow’s big Valentine’s Day bash.
At least I’m not on classroom cookie duty, too.

I stand by my claim that store-bought Valentines are always better.
