Valentine's Day Gift Idea

I have a gift idea for Valentine's Day that can be used for just about anyone in your life.

Young and old will appreciate it.

It is personal, handmade, and fairly inexpensive.

Plus, it doesn't take long to put together.

You don't need to buy any fancy craft supplies. Just some double-sided tape.

It is a Valentine's Day Candy Letter.

I made one for Bruce. It was a lot of fun to browse the candy aisle and think up funny ways to incorporate the names of the candy into a love letter for my husband.

Here is the result:

As you can see, you might need to take some artistic license with the candy names in order to make it work.

Here is the text in case you want to play around with it for your own version:
Extra! Extra! Extra!
There are Good & Plenty reasons for me to love Bruce to Pieces. You see, we are Sweetarts and I’m his Sugar Baby. No Mike or Ike could ever replace him. He might be a Nerd, but my heart lights up like a Starburst when he walks into the room. I go Crazy to the Core when he is around because Bruce is one Hot Tamale!

And don't forget the cute Valentine's Day Mice I made a couple of years ago.

    I think I will use this idea, thanks Jennifer. I will just change it up a bit.

    That is such a good idea! I wonder if I could add our favorite candy bar, Snickers, in there somewhere. I bet someone more creative than me could have an idea.

    Why don't you write a follow up piece regarding the different types of candy cards like the love letters I did for you about how you should expect to be treated by a date and the one to Nick about how to treat a girl?

    There are so many ideas or opportunities besides Valentines Day to share your thoughts :)

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
