Valentineās Day is only just a few weeks away! Can you believe it? I’ve got you covered with your Valentine’s Day planning this year with this post on Valentine’s Day for You and Your Littles along with my post from last year on how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a New Baby. Perhaps the most helpful though is my post on Classroom Valentines Ideas for your kids. Cutness overload!
The holidays were such a welcome dose of joy this year and I was honestly extra sad to see them go. I think that + having children is why I feel more excited for Valentineās Day this year than usual! 2021 marked my first Valentineās Day as a mother but this year feels extra special too because it is my first Valentine’s Day with Rowan AND Henry. My two greatest loves. Each Valentine’s Day feels like a new dose of love with my family. Iām so excited to celebrate Valentineās Day with my sweet little growing valentinese this year and to show love to them in every way possible! I honestly could not ask for a better Valentine’s Day trio than Edwin, Rowan, and Henry. How did I get so lucky to have the best boys?
Valentine’s Day For You And Your Littles
Instead of creating a Valentine’s gift guide for her, I decided to expand my gift guide and create a gift guide for Valentineās Day for you and your littles! This post has everything from Valentine’s Day pajamas to dreamy home goods to creative crafts to sweet treats. I included lots of ideas for your kiddos to make this Valentine’s Day one to remember with items that kids love. I also have a handful of lovely ideas for you. Hint, hint: pass this post on to your love if they need gift ideas for you!
I hope you enjoy my gift guide for Valentine’s Day for you and your littles! If you don’t have a little, don’t fret. There are a ton of items in this guide for you that I know you’ll love. What do you have your eye on for Valentine’s Day this year? I’d love to hear if you think I forgot anything! I’m still formulating what I should do for Edwin but I have a few ideas for little things around the house and yard that I think would bring a smile to his face.
Share all your brilliant ideas!

Valentine’s Day for you and your littles can be extra special this year with some of these sweet picks. Valentine’s Day is so often thought of as a commercialized, fluff holiday but I really think it’s so much more than that. Sure, it’s a great excuse to treat yourself, your galentines, your love, or your littles to a nice gift. However, it’s really a beautiful opportunity to stop, slow down, and show some appreciation for the people you love most in this world. For me, that’s Edwin, Rowan, and Henry. I can’t imagine living a single day without them.
This Valentine’s Day, I encourage y’all to not only shower your loved ones is sweet gifts but to really shower them in boundless amounts of love and endless hugs, kisses, and snuggles. I hope you enjoy the holiday and I hope this Valentine’s Day gift guide gave you some gifting inspiration. When all else fails, Valentine’s Day pajamas are always a hit (just like the precious Valentine’s print pajamas Rowan and I are wearing in this post).
