Valentine's Day is just a few days away! I am reminded of this fact every single time I walk into a store and my three year old sees cute teddy bears, flowers, candy, and other novelty items. Love is in the air!

Valentine's Day might not be as significant as a birthday, Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas, but nonetheless Valentine's Day is a holiday - a fun holiday. As with all holidays, there is a history behind the day. I'll be the first to admit, I don't know much about its history. To me, Valentine's Day has just been a day to exchange cute cards and fun candies! If you're interested in learning more about the history, you can find an article here.

This year I only have one child that is young enough to exchange Valentine's with her classmates. This year I decided to make them really personalized!

My daughter is super excited to hand out her Valentine's tomorrow at the party at school! We just took a photograph of her sitting and holding her hand up like she was holding a big lollipop. We then cut a slit at the top of her fist and the bottom of her fist so we could slide the lollipop through her hand to give it the appearance that she was holding the lollipop.

This is the Valentine before the lollipop was added.

I have been asked numerous times if we are offering Valentine's Day Sessions this year. We have decided not to offer them this year and instead offer a FREE Valentine's Day photograph for attendees of the My Little Play Place Valentine's Party on Friday, February 12th from 10am to 2pm. Come join the fun! There will be cookie decorating, crafts, coloring, photographs in the kissing booth and plenty of time to PLAY! More information can be found here.

Whatever you do to celebrate Valentine's Day, make memories!
