Who’s ready for Valentine’s Day?! {Raising hand emoji}

What I’m not ready for is all the sugar I have coming my way this weekend, because let me be honest for a minute. Right now (in pregnant state) I can hardly control myself around sweets. #Struggles

So, husband, if you’re reading this, just send me some oranges, apples, or bananas…maybe covered in chocolate. šŸ˜‰

When the candy aisles start filling with Valentine’s candy on December 26th, you may feel like you shouldn’t consume one more ounce of candy come Valentine’s Day.

Love Juices

Wrap a piece of construction paper around a juice box. Glue on some googly eyes and add a cute conversation bubble with a special note!

Orange You Glad We’re Friends

These mini oranges are in every kid’s lunchbox these days. Wrap one or two up in a clear treat/favor bag, tie with a ribbon, and add a cute note. Another Option: ā€œYou’re A Real Cutie!

Bear Hugs

Animal crackers have so many different options for little Valentine notes. ā€œI’m WILD about you!ā€ ā€œZoo are the only one for me!ā€ ā€œI’d be a CIRCUS without you!ā€ and my favorite ā€œA BEAR hug!ā€ These notes would also go perfectly with TeddyGrams.
Without taking the yum-factor out of the sweet Valentine exchange, stick with some real foods when sharing the ā€œloveā€ this Valentine’s Day!

Bring on the Love!!
