Free Valentine's Day Printables!

We just got our monthly newsletter from Carter's daycare.  Along with the typical monthly announcements and lunch menus, included was an "Older Infant Valentine's List" for their Valentine's party this coming month.  My immediate thoughts were CUTE and UH-OH.  Cute because I remember how much I loved getting Valentine's cards (not at age one, but from grade school) and Uh-Oh because that means I need to put some proper Valentine's together for Carter's itty bitty classmates.  Of course his class only has 6-7 other kiddos so buying a big box of Valentines just doesn't make sense AND these kiddos don't eat candy, so I needed to come up with an alternate plan.

I immediately thought about photoshopping together a quick Valentine with some Daniel Tiger clipart I have from Carter's first birthday party (I've been meaning to post about that and will do so later).  But I also thought about the other parents that are in the same boat as I and are looking for an easy alternate to store bought Valentine's cards.  Below are the Valentine's that I created for Carter's classmates and I have included a FREE PRINTABLE for you if you dig Daniel Tiger as much as my little guy.  If Daniel Tiger is not really your style, I have also included a list/links of other free printables I came across during my initial searches for homemade Valentines.

If your looking for treat/toy ideas to accompany the Valentines - Look through the dollar sections of Target, Walmart, etc. for safe toys, mini books, flash cards, or get a box of baby mum mums to give each child a safe and healthy treat.

Citrus Lane - January Box

We received another box of goodies!  Our little guy loves tearing through the box, pulling out, and inspecting everything.  This month both he and I thoroughly enjoyed the surprises.

Citrus Lane is a monthly subscription box full of baby & parent goodies.  Each box features products catered to the age group of your child (or children) and these are often new or unique products.  I have been introduced to a lot of new brands through the boxes.  They also usually offer additional discount options if you visit that particular brand's website to purchase more products.

If you'd like to try out Citrus Lane, you can do so by CLICKING HERE (referral link).  And there are also a few promo codes I've located on the internet to discount your first box:

Promo Codes (I have not verified that all codes are valid):
bemine - 35% off your first box plus free valentines gifts
TAKE40 or SAVE40 - 40% off your first box
FIRST or 50PCT - 50% off your first box

Here is what we received in this month's box:

1. Chronicle Book's "You Are My Baby: Woodland" board book.  This is a very cute and fun book.  Baby boy would turn the pages of the little book in the center and I would turn the big pages.  This will be kept at the cabin because he will see these types of animals there!  This book retails on Chronicle Book's website for $8.99, but you can sign up for their email list and get 20% off!

2. JJ Rabbit's dipPLATE.  This environmentally and baby friendly plate is super easy to clean and fun for baby!  I haven't used it to separate my boy's food, but he did it all on his own, plopping his bananas in the little "dip" section and keeping his macaroni on the main plate.  This plate comes in a variety of colors and two animals.  This plate retails on JJ Rabbit's website for $9.99.

3. Earthworm wooden toy from Begin Again Toys.  This is a great addition to our little boy's animal collection.  It just so happens he didn't have an earth worm! And he loves this little worm's big smile.  This wormy worm retails on Begin Again Toys' website for $11.00 and they have tons of other fun toys to check out.

4. Hot Chocolate on a Stick from Popbar. Uhhhh-MAZING! This little treat for momma was a BIG HIT.  Right away I warmed up a cup of milk and stirred this deliciousness in, and wow, I must tell you I went straight to their website to see what other treats I could get my hands on.  There is such a variety and so many I want to try.  With time... I will, I must pace myself! This hot chocolate on a stick retails on Popbar's website for $2.99 but you can get variety packs or other treats.

5. Fabletics 60% off First Outfit Offer.  So as I am gulping down my big 'ol cup of hot chocolate, I read the details on this offer.  60% off my first activewear outfit from Fabletics sounds like a great deal right about now as my waistline expands from this tasty treat!  I went ahead and placed an order for my first outfit, 3 pieces for what worked out to be only $28.  Once I receive my order, I will let you all know how their gear stands up to my next yoga sculpt class.  You can visit Fabletics website to get your first discounted outfit.

All in all, we were very happy with this month's Citrus Lane box.  And, although I may seem a bit selfish saying this, it was nice to have a couple goodies in their for momma.  I definitely needed and appreciated them!
