Four Free Valentine’s Day Ideas

February 12, 2020 By Kari 2 Comments

Showing your love doesn’t need to cost a fortune. Here are four FREE Valentine’s Day ideas you can make happen with stuff you likely have around the house!

FREE Valentine’s Day Ideas

The best things in life are FREE! As cheesy as it may sound, it’s true! In my eyes, the best gift to give your partner is quality time. Whether you’re trying to stick to a budget or just keep this Valentine’s Day low-key, here’s four ideas that are meaningful and will take little effort to put together.

free Valentine's Day ideas-2#1: Sticky Note Heart

All you need is a pad of sticky notes and a pen! It’s so enjoyable to sit and think about all the things you love about your partner. Keep it funny, sentimental, or a mix of both. You can create the heart all at once for a big reveal or do a note a day with the full heart completed by February 14th.

It can be sexy to cook with your partner! Sip some wine (this is one of our favourites), chat, and create something delicious! Bookmark a page in your favourite recipe book and leave it out Valentine’s Day morning for them to see. It gives you both something to look forward to all day.

free Valentine's Day ideas-5 #3: Make A Card

Homemade cards are the best! My dad makes my mom a stick person card every single year for Valentine’s Day. It’s a cute little tradition that my mom really looks forward to! It takes thought and time – and both of those are great gifts!

#4: Create A Playlist and Reminisce

Put together a playlist of songs that bring back the memories! Cuddle on the couch (or turn the living room into a dance floor) and, as each song plays, share memories of the past you’ve shared!

Please share your totally free Valentine’s ideas in the comment section below!

Tik Tok Trend ⤵️ You've heard of 'Girl Math' Tik Tok Trend ⤵️

You've heard of 'Girl Math' but this is Mom Math. This all make sense to you, moms? Sure does to me. 🙃

😭 I'm having a hard time with this one.  I kn 😭 I'm having a hard time with this one. 

I know - bust out the 🎻 - but seriously. I've had some good cries this week as we start to pack up and get rid of some of our baby stuff. Most of it we've had since Wyatt came on the scene.

It hurts to know this baby-making chapter is closing and the last jump in the jolly jumper is over and I'll never be pregnant again.😭😭 Of course, I'm excited for everything ahead but this is hard on the heart. Been here? You feel this?

Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 Who can we call to get these lyrics changed? 😄 ... but seriously? 

Actually listened to the lyrics while Miss. Rachel was on.🙈 Side note- i love her.

 What else needs changing? ⬇️

Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️ You kno Feel this? ⬆️ Share if you do. ❤️

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.
