I am not a traditional roses and heart-shaped chocolate box kind of gal.

They lack creativity and inspiration in my book.

And the law of supply and demand makes them ridiculously overpriced.

I would rather receive a bouquet of roses on a random day in mid-August.

This episode is chock full of ways that you can expand your creativity on the theme of Valentine’s Day.

From 60’s style “door curtains” that highlight the unique magic of each family member.

To seeing that self-care can be as simple and as powerful as love letters to ourselves (and the ways to remind ourselves of that love).

Recording those early words of self-love and family love from the mouths of our babes can serve them for years to come.  And be straight-up hilarious!

There are fun things to do with food that are simple and inexpensive yet extraordinary.  And may even expand your child’s adventure level with food, leading to a more nutrient rich palette.

There are easy art projects to integrate into your design to build confidence as well as art techniques that provide stress relief and focus no matter what you think of yourself as an artist.

The most important thing to remember when putting on your creative hat this Valentine’s Day is to have fun.  Love can be fun if we let it!
