Time to Decorate Again...


Madi decks the windows that flank our front door


Felt flowers, candles and various hearts collect on a thrifted tray at the kitchen table


cheesy sparkles in glass bowls in the library and music room

Its time for glitter in red and pink and purple.
Our traditional life size valentine from me to all the kids will fill up the front room window when the Day of Love arrives
Candy and the signing of many names on silly cards will be part of next week's family home evening

How do you acknowledge this day of cheap chocolates and mandatory romance?
We do it by going over the top with the sequins
We are glittering here at the Spruces!

Coming Next week: Peek into the concept of 'Home'. See How it means different things for different wonderful women...

LOVE your decorations. :-) I have silhouettes in my windows. I love silhouettes. I have two winter ones from Christmas plus two Valentine's day one and then a love swag. That is about it, pretty simple. Have a Happy Valentine's day! Can't wait to see pics of your life size valentines for the kids. :-)

I acknowledge it with expensive chocolates instead of cheap ones. Very original.

I don't even own a valentines decoration. How lame am I. I do give fun valentines to my kids on the day. But I should maybe start collection some red decor.

Oh, my favorite part of your post was the mandatory romance. That gave me a good chuckle.
