The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Here are a couple more great-looking Valentine ideas readers have sent in. Buckets of Love and Shaving Cream Valentines.
Aren’t you glad Valentine’s Day is on Monday this year? It’s not the best for going on a hot date, but I love having the weekend to work on gifts and cards with the kids.

I totally agree with you about the timing of Valentine’s Day. We haven’t made any valentines yet, so I’m glad we still have a few days to work on them…
My kids love shaving cream painting…they can go through a whole can way too fast.
I think having Valentines Day on a Monday reduces the pressure to be all fancy scmancy, and get a little home-grown and snuggly instead… bliss!
Love the cans! My kids did shaving cream projects when they were younger, so fun!
For some reason, this year I have been planning. I like these idea for card making.
Gonna have to try the buckets of love! They are too cute…
love the creativity that doesn’t involve candy! My 5 and 7 year-olds are creating comic strips. I want to test out the buckets of love too! Great ideas.
Cool!
