Valentine’s Day feels even sweeter now that I get to experience it through Rosie’s eyes. From heart-shaped snacks to simple crafts, it’s a day to make her feel cherished while soaking in the magic of her joy. Celebrating love in these small, intentional ways makes this holiday truly special.

Crafts

Since I don’t do screen time with Rosie, I love finding simple, hands-on crafts that keep her engaged and allow her creativity to shine. These activities create a space for her to explore, learn, and express herself. It’s messy, intentional, and full of joy—just the way we like it.

Baking

Baking is one of my favorite ways to bring intentionality into celebrations, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect reason to whip cupcakes and decorate them with sprinkles and cute toppers. It’s not just about the treats—it’s about slowing down, creating together, and savoring the simple joys.

Rosie’s Valentine’s Day Party

Every year, we throw a Valentine’s Day party with my family, and it’s our favorite tradition. We go all out with decorations, treats, and a full day of love. The best part? Making handmade Valentines for each other—it’s sweet, intentional, and so much fun. It’s Rosie’s favorite, and probably the whole family’s too!
