Homemade Love on V-Day

We're all about the homemade cards for every event. Partially because cards are so overpriced and I feel like I'm always repeating myself. The partially to bring out the crafty side in my son, and partially, for him to understand and appreciate WHY we give cards. 

This year we made cards for each other, he helped with his school Valentines, here's the great freebie printable: http://www.theidearoom.net/50-diy-kids-classroom-valentines-day-ideas

And, we made pizza for dinner. The intention was to make it heart shaped, however my husband must be a pro since he spread the dough so well it was too big for a heart...

My side of the pizza had sun-dried tomatoes and pesto ;) We used the Trader Joe's dough, the pizza came out more greasy then when I used the local Italian bakery dough...but the flavor was spot on! 

          Fun lunch, check! Valentines, check! A jar of chocolates for his teachers, check!                   Homemade cards & Pizza, check check! A fun and memorable day, DONE!
