Valentine Treats

Yesterday's calendar event was to make a special meal for your family. We didn't make a whole meal, but we did make a few treats! But first we had to get the table ready.

 

Then Marissa added a rose. We wrapped ribbon around an empty spool to make the vase. It turned out to be cute!

 

Sophie threw some ribbon curls around.

 

Jo wanted to help too!

 

A few more flowers.

 

Then setting the table!

 

Add some napkins and spoons,

 

cupcakes and ice cream,

 

and enjoy!

 

Did you make a special meal or treat for you family? Do you have a favorite Valentine treat? Or do you like to make paper valentines? We'd love to hear about it!
Whatever you do, we hope that you enjoy your Valentine treats!

Snowflake Pudding

To-do on the calender today is to make a sweet treat. So we made snowflake pudding!

 

It's a really easy treat to make, especially if you have pudding that's already made. But if you don't, pudding is a dessert that's quick to make!
We made ours with coconut milk, based of off the butterscotch pudding recipe from the cooking e-book. A few things were tweaked, but it turned out fine. Experimenting can be a lot of fun in the kitchen!

 

For the snowflakes, we cut plain tortillas into snowflakes with a cookie cutter. Then we fried them in a little butter, sprinkled them with cinnamon sugar, and they were ready!

 

This is a very quick and easy treat to make, and a lot of fun, too. But don't be afraid to mix things around a bit! Cut the tortillas into different shapes, or sprinkle them with different spices. Flavor the pudding in a new way, or throw in some add-ins, like chocolate chips, marshmallows, small candies, or crushed-up cookies. Try new things and have fun!
 
 

Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine Hearts

With Valentine's day coming up at the end of the week, I decided that a special freebie was in order. And so, Valentine hearts! With a collection of 20 hearts in different sizes, there's plenty to share with everyone.The page can be found with the other downloads, on the freebie page.

Enjoy!

Dolly Valentines

Today's calendar event is 'make dolly valentines'. Here are the ones that we made!

 

We found everything that we wanted to use, like paper, beads, pencils, tissue paper, and string.

 

We made heart-shaped ones,

 

and real cards.

 

And then we got to share them! Each girl got her own valentine, but with so many left over, we have plenty to give away!

 

I like the ones with tissue paper the best. :)

 

What's your favorite kind of valentine?

 

And the best part of making them is giving them away. :)

 

Have you made valentines too? Leave a comment and a link to your blog. We'd love to see them!

Happy valentine making!
  

Doll's Snow Day Part 2

Remember the snow day post? That was from the January calendar, and even though it's February, I never finished! Today's February calendar event is to have an outdoor photoshoot, so I thought that I'd post the rest of the snow day. Although it doesn't have any valentines, it is an outdoor photoshoot!

 

Even Jo found a snowball!

 

And thought that she'd share with Sophie.

 

Robin's dog, Gingersnap, came out to play too.

 

Throwing snowballs,

 

and Gingersnap catching it on her nose,

 

and then trying to decide what it is.

 

Seeing if Jo has any to share,

 

and waiting for Sophie.

 

Good things come to those who wait!

 

Happy snow days!
