Store brought or Homemade Valentines Greetings?

2012-01-26T23:15:00.000-05:00

Believe it or not Valentines is right around the corner? It's hard for me to imagine that January is almost over, it really seemed like yesterday was just New Year's. Even though I have a few weeks the time will go by really quickly, especially working full time and trying to juggle home and family life the short amount of time will pass by and it will be the day before Valentines. I love the idea of traditions and want the kids to celebrate all the holidays with their classmates.

So with that in mind I have to seriously, albeit quickly, way the pros and cons of each. I mean I love the thought of cute handmade cards I use to have time to make when I was a stay at home mom. Now it just seems there isn't enough time in the day to do everything and still have time for myself. I'm sure I'm not alone in my trying to juggle everything and still have time for myself. So do I have to compromise the traditions of valentine's day or can I still have 75+ Valentines Day Greeting Cards ready for the kids for Valentine's day? We have 3 school age kids in school with 25 kids each.

Well Tinyprints has some of the cutest Valentines Cards, a great personalized card source where I've gotten lots of cute cards for the kids, including the adorable Santa's List Cards. So when it came to crossing one more thing off my list I headed to check out the large selection of cards they had available to choose from.

It was hard to choose and I'm still narrowing the choices down. I really like the Be Mine Valentine's or Banana's Over You for the younger kids.
