"ChelseaMADE" us some adorable goodies! ♥

I know I know. Where have I been?! I have about a billion photos to upload--and I'm starting with these cuties. I really wanted to share some updated photos of the girls so I figured I'd might as well take some and let them show off some of their new accessories!
My very talented little sis, ChelseaMADE, us some ADORABLE goodies for Christmas and because she just started a "Spring Cleaning" sale I really really wanted to share some of her work with you all in case you want to take advantage of the sale!!

Valentine's Day Recipe Ideas!

I put together a quick little collage of some ♥ shaped food ideas for Valentine's Day! These aren't your typical Valentine's Day sweets, but some other options to still make Valentine's Day fun for your little ones!

While doing this, I realized I like to make lots of heart shaped foods, lol. It was taking way too much time to use every single ♥ shaped food we've done so I did some of my personal favorites! Just get out your cookie cutters and get creative, even just a simple sandwich is more fun when you use a cookie cutter or Lunch Punch, etc to spruce it up a bit!!

1. Heart Shaped Ravioli (filled with spinach and mushrooms!) 2. Egg-in-a-♥-basket! 3. Frozen Fruit Popsicles 4. Homemade Heart Shaped Pizza!


Heart Shaped Pretzels!


Our Toddler Valentine Snack Mix!

Check out the recipe over at Pinch of Yum!
