It’s probably because I’m a girl Mom, but the florals, all shades red, any heart craft, and everything XOXO are out in full force. We don’t go crazy on gifts for the girls on Heart Day, but I did ~~pick up~~ order the wooden heart bead set because I know Mya will love it. I also use this holiday to be a bit more practical than intended. Instead of buying chocolates and flowers (although, that’s still welcome in our home, Derek), I’m on the hunt for the girls’ spring rain gear. And with a bit of shopping around, I found some sweet deals. (Since writing this post, some links may no longer be available. We have found alternatives below, yet some links will not match the pictures here.)
