Valentine’s Day is JUST around the corner and I know lots of parents (myself included) aren’t always wanting to send candy to school!! Are you looking for a great, non-candy alternative for your kids to take to hand out for Valentine’s Day? My friend at Coupons Are Great created a cute Valentine bubble tag and attached to bubble necklaces for a super fun twist on Valentines this year. Head over to her site to grab the printable PDF so you can easily recreate this craft!
If you have a Walgreens you can pick up these bubble necklaces for 33¢ each through Saturday February 4th. That’s a very budget friendly price!

I saw a picture of this wreath on Pinterest (do you follow me? Please do, and I would love to follow you, too!) and I knew I had to have it. Or rather, I knew I had to make it. I love the simplicity and I have this newfound obsession with wreaths, so this just fits perfectly into my world. Plus, it has pink.
