Valentines Day 2021

This past weekend we decided to take a break from staying home and visit some friends up north. Because it was valentines weekend (and one of my favorite holidays) we moms decided to make things extra special for the kids. These things included:

Pink Punch:

This included- 1 bottle of diet 7-up and 1 packet of crystal light pink lemonade. To garnish, add strawberry slices. The kids loved this!

Red Velvet Cake:

I should preface that we mommas tried to make everything that fit out WW plan we’re on. This cake was so delicious I don’t even know if we shared it with the kids. I also garnished this with sliced strawberries on top. The best part is it’s so simple. Dr. Pepper Cake

Red Velvet Dr. Pepper Cake topped with whip cream and sliced strawberries

Minute to Win it Games by- Happiness is Homemade.

We did tweak a few of them because of limited supplies. With the kids being pre-teens we decided to turn the activity pages into a part of minute to win it as well. I should also preface. Candy hearts are really hard to find the week before Valentines day. If you’re going to play these, make sure to get enough of them far in advance.
