I'm a bit of a holiday junkie.
Looove them!
It is the perfect excuse to get creative, have fun, and most importantly celebrate with your loved ones!
So of course, today - February 1 - marks my official count down to Valentine's Day. 13 days and counting...
But what exactly are we celebrating? Personally, I celebrate loving my kiddies and hubby by doing some extra special things for them. Some historians say Valentine was an actual priest in Rome while others recognize him as a saint.
One legend tells of a heroic, romantic who was appalled that Rome decided to outlaw marriage in the third century when the Emperor decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. Valentine secretly performed marriages despite this law. Another story suggests that Valentine was imprisoned after trying to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons. Valentine fell in love with the jailor's daughter and left her a note signed "From your Valentine".
Whether you like the history of holidays, or simply like the celebrations that go along with them, it's always fun to dress for the occasion. So I got to crafting to make Mia a Valentine headband.
I went to the Dollar Tree (love that place) and picked up a bag of heart foams on a stick, a bag of colorful plastic hearts and a pack of headbands since I needed the red one. I pulled off the foam hearts from the sticks and then hot-glued my hearts onto the headband. This took all of but 5 minutes and will make an adorable accessory on V-Day!
xoxo!
