Ready for some Valentine's Day sweet talk? You can pack a festive Valentine's Day lunch that'll make kiddo swoon without even relying on those candy conversation hearts. That means you get to keep lunchtime fun and healthy while saving t…
On Valentine's Day, not every kid wants to hand out cards with Barbies and Care Bears. For the rest of them, we love these too-cute pirate themed Valentines cards that you can make yourself (for almost free!) Mer Mag's free printable Pir…
I always love seeing what's new and fun at Martha Stewart Crafts around the holidays, and especially Valentine's Day. Or as we like to think of it, That Day That All The Glitter Ended Up in The Rug. But I've taken the time to parse the o…
If you're looking for a sweet Valentines gift for a baby too young for chocolate bonbons, here's a totally adorable idea. I've been a fan of Trumpette socks ever since I got a set for my own baby and realized they were the only socks tha…
Need a little Super Bowl Break today? In case you missed them, here are some of our favorite tech posts from the last week, including some gorgeous red gadgets for Valentine's Day--pair it with blue to honor the Pats. Or uh, the Giants. …
When it comes to giving Valentines gifts, I'll refrain from saying that my kids are "sweet enough already." But, let's face it: they'll be bombarded with candy hearts, lollipops and other sweets on the 14th. My plan is to find some non-s…
As much as I love incredibly crafty Valentine's cards for kids , I know my limits in time and ability, especially when I need about twenty cards for each of three kids. And yet, I can't quite bring myself to snag those boxes prepackaged …
We've seen a ton of heart jewelry leading up to Valentine's Day, but the one that's stolen my heart isn't flashy, blingy, or loaded with diamonds. In fact, it isn't even shiny. I discovered designer Andrea Panico's Pico Designs at the gi…
2012 may be the year of the dragon, but the penguin still needs some attention. And just in time for Valentine's Day, we're found one of the cutest ever ways for a baby to wear his love for penguins--or his love for love--on his chest. […
My husband and I do Valentine's Day Lite, meaning that we will not be forking out $200 for a fancy meal, or buying each other expensive jewelry or electronics as a sign of our devotion. But that doesn't mean I am totally comfortable with…
My four year-old can spend an entire afternoon playing with rubber stamps. And I must admit, I never thought of using them much myself until watching her and seeing some of the results. (She's good!) So when I came across Mollie Flatley'…
As Valentine's Day creeps closer, I've been looking out for treats that don't list corn syrup or "chocolate-y" filling among the ingredients. One ingredient I do like: Felt. And that's pretty much all these adorable fortune cookies are m…
Just in time for Valentine's Day, and plenty of parents' quests to steer clear of cavity-causing treats to pass out in the classroom (not that there's anything wrong with it!), our friends at Tatt.ly do it again, with a totally fabulous …
We were first introduced to the Children's Heart Foundation when we donated the proceeds from last year's color-your-own Valentine's Day card contest to their worthy efforts. So this year, we figured it was timely to remember their fanta…
If you're a mom, you could pretty much rename Valentine's Day, Lots and Lots of Random Paper That My Kids Won't Let Me Recycle Day. Wouldn't it be great if you could start with a PDF and just print the paper you actually wanted ? And wou…
I have Joe Cocker in my head right now. He's singing You Are So Beautiful to Me , and I'm getting all choked up when his voice cracks at that one point at the end. He also happens to be singing the song to the unbelievably amazing treats…
Let's face it, at some point in time, everybody ends up staring at the last flower petal, thinking, He loves me not? FINE . I've been there. In fact, I spent an entire Valentine's Day in college wearing all black as my anti-Valentine sta…
My husband is definitely one to give the spicier Valentine's Day gifts, and you won't see me complaining. Unless he happens to buy the wrong size negligee, in which case I just try to act flattered that he thought I was an extra-small. T…
My kids are no strangers to candy, though I have to admit that the amount of sweet stuff they collect at Valentine's Day is over the top. I may not be able to stem the tide of lollies, pixie stix and chocolate hearts that come their way,…
I love the idea of leaving sweet little notes for my son and husband on a daily basis. You know, like: You're perfect; I love you ; and Put your dirty socks in the hamper . Which is why this Chalkboard Heart from Wall Candy Arts is the p…
We were delighted with the Martha Stewart makes Cookies app when it was introduced this past fall for the iPad, and now there's one more reason to like all this four-color, interactive deliciousness--more yummy cookie recipes and a new l…
I thought I knew good chocolate. I rather pride myself on favoring the high cacao content and richer taste of the more expensive brands. But I had never even heard of raw chocolate when one of my readers was kind enough to ask if she cou…
We're perpetual fans of Martha Stewart's craft supplies and if you're a DIY-er, it's a good investment for Valentine's Cards and crafts this month. Their new heart punch aptly called Heart Punch All Over the Page lets you achieve the imp…
My husband spends his spare time watching Top Chef , reading restaurant reviews and weeding through the artisanal chocolates at our local gourmet markets. So needless to say, a box of red hots isn't going to cut it for his Valentine's Da…
