Hello everyone! Grace cut up the strips of paper for me and I wrote down all the names. She closed her eyes and picked one out...


What does it say??

Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments! I was so impressed by all your amazing Valentine plans....so many creative ideas!! I've enjoyed reading all the ways you make Valentine's Day special for your family.


We had a interesting day. We got our piano tuned which took from 9:00am-noon. Not the nicest sound in the world! We took our school books into the kitchen but we couldn't work with all the noise. We all had headaches!

While we waited, I thought I would work on a little project. My friend, Susan has the neatest way of making every day special for her family. She has a plate that she writes down important events or an encouraging word on. You can read her wonderful post here.

I took an inexpensive chalkboard, painted the frame and added some decorative dots.


Did you know that today is National Happy Puzzle Day? We have a cute children's Calendar that lists all kinds of interesting holidays. Here are some upcoming ones:

February is National Cherry Month

February 7-Wave at your neighbors Day.

February 12-National Pancake Day.

February 14-Along with Valentine's Day it is Ferris Wheel Day. I'm not sure who wants to ride a ferris wheel in the middle of winter!

Last weekend we found this puzzle ice cube tray at IKEA, even before we knew it was Happy Puzzle Day!


The kids enjoyed some puzzle lemonade.


We always have a puzzle going on the office desk. I can put all the edge pieces together but after that I give up! Not enough patience I guess.


Thank you again for the comments and playing along!
