KISS VALENTINE TATTOOS

I can't tell you how much I love these little kiss tattoos. As if I could say no to any temporary tattoo, but aren't these fun? We aren't throwing any kind of Valentine's day party this year, but wouldn't these temporary tattoos be perfect for one? Or give them out to little friends along with a note for an easy Valentine. They come in two sizes - both of which are great for little faces. You can download both sizes here. As with all of these homemade tattoos, you will need special tattoo paper, print it out, follow the directions that came with your paper and be sure to cut out your designs. We have been having a lot of fun sticking these on each other, and I am pretty sure you will too!

COLORING CHORE CHART

With the new year, we thought it was the perfect time to help Elliott out with some of his resolutions. This chore chart has been a huge help so far! It's more fun for him to clean up his toys or brush his teeth when he knows he gets to color the object to cross it off his list. And if they aren't feeling like coloring, a simple X or a scribble will suffice. You can download this chore chart here, or make your own! Either way you'll be happy about their new habits and they will have fun while getting stuff done! 

ALT IN PICTURES + A FEW THOUGHTS

I'm back from Alt and man was that a great Alt. It was my second year going and it showed. I was much less nervous and much more myself which is always a good thing! I saw old friends and made some great new ones, met some amazing sponsors and partied like it was 1999. I gave out nearly all of my business cards, which was a goal of mine this year. The cards were a hit! I'll be sharing those here soon. Don't worry. One of my favorite parts of Alt this year, besides the vast knowledge that was crammed into my head, were the mini parties. They were thrown mostly by fellow bloggers and man did they blow it out of the water! It was a great couple of days and I am excited to put what I learned to work. I have to admit, even though I live about a mile from where Alt is held, I missed my boys something awful. It's good to be home. Until next year, Alt!

P.S. Many apologies to my instagram followers. Alt usually equals a flood of my pictures in your feed. 

DINO-MITE VALENTINES

We found these rad dinosaur fossils a little while back and I thought they would be perfect for giving to Elliott's classmates at preschool for Valentine's day. It's a nice change from the endless candies and cakes they are sure to consume. I promise the kids will have a roaring good time with them (too much?) And if you love this idea, but still want to include something sweet, the rocks are actually chocolate! And believe it or not, they don't taste half bad. Don't they look totally real? We bought an extra set of dinos to keep for ourselves, because really. How could we not? To make these valentines, just download the tags here, cut them out, put a little tape on the back and stick them on. I used card-stock to give my tags a little more sturdiness. So easy, and guaranteed to be a hit with the kids.
