Valentine’s Day Mommy Fail!
I have seen a lot of my blogger friends do such cute Valentine’s Day projects, and I had every intention of following in their footsteps this year! I especially loved these Yoda Pops! My boys would have LOVED them! I’m going to have to keep those in my back pocket for another day, because I completely failed as a mom! Valentine’s Day seemed to sneak up on us, and before I knew it, we were rushing to the grocery store before it closed to grab cupcakes for Braxton’s class party as well as going to THREE stores at the last minute to grab some cheap Valentine’s cards!
Oh well, at least the boys liked them! They’re easy!
I’ve never bothered to make handmade Valentine’s Day crafts or cards…the supplies cost so much and they all end up in the garbage anyway! I do, however, make sweets! 🙂
We made some things, but in the end the kids wanted store bought Valentine’s for their friends, lol.
I totally failed too — I had pinned SO many cute ideas… and ended up at Target. Sigh….
I bought a box of cards (with candy) my daughter addressed them and she took them in. No special crafts for me either.
I am not big on the whole super card or gift thing.
Nothing wrong with that. My kids came home with bags full of candy anyway!
My dude’s not in school yet, but I am sure when he is he’ll just want ones like those anyway. He’s big into characters so as long as it has an Angry Bird or Buzz Lightyear on it, he’s good.
Ooops. you did better than me I completely forgot.
I did Fun Dip candy cards for both my girls and simple Spongebob cards at the request of my son. No shame in my game!
A real mommy fail would have been to not gotten any Valentine’s Day cards. I think you did just fine. We all put so much pressure on ourselves to get creative but I think the kids really only care about all candy they get. 🙂
I did homemade Valentines this year because I didn’t want to send candy.
they liked ’em thats what counts right? 🙂
I totally didn’t make my daughter’s Valentine’s either and she loved them regardless. I don’t think it would make a difference in her eyes to be honest. I think it’s us moms who do this to ourselves and we feel like we HAVE to do these crazy things like Pinterest style Valentine’s
I had every intention of doing tons of Valentine’s Day crafts with my girls, but I failed, too! I promised to make it up to them for St. Patrick’s Day since it’ll be me and my husband’s 7 yr annversary.
I bought some this year for my daughter but would love to have made some homemade.
I was going to do some crafts with my son, and wasn’t able to do so either. Valentine’s Day came too quick!
I’m all about easy!
I am not crafty and this is right up my alley!
I’m SO not crafty!! I did something very simple with my toddler for her preschool class
HAHA This year my daughter made her with my Mom. She cut out tons of hearts and made silly faces. They are just going to get thrown away. I hate wasting money buying them.
Hey, they loved them right?
I think you didn’t fail at all!! I was out of commission for Christmas crafts due to the baby – so I tried to make it up with Valentines. We all do what we can, and in the end – our kids love everything!! 🙂
Hmmm I didn’t even give my kids cards lol. They got some goodies though. But I didn’t even think to give them cards! LOL
When my kids were little, we just did the little cards from the store. I can’t imagine making a bunch of individual cards!
I failed too! store bought cards for my kiddos as well…oh well there is always next year!
My son would have loved those Valentines!!
I am right there with you. I knew that there was no way I would get them done this year so I didn’t even try. lol
It’s a casualty of being a mom…sooo busy!
No matter what you make or use the kids really don’t care!!
I always had the idea in my head to have my kids make their own Valentine’s Day cards but it never panned out. Now they are teenagers so I guess I missed that window of opportunity.
I’m sure your son and their classmates enjoyed the Valentine’s Day cards you had.
I’m not the biggest craft-ter so I feel you’re pain.
