I really wanted to make Valentine's breakfast this year, but we're going to be out of town on Valentine's weekend, (Hubby and I only - Ooh la-la) so we got a head start with the Valentine's celebrations and I made a Valentine's themed breakfast for everyone the weekend before. I saw a couple really cute ideas on Pinterest and it inspired me to make a whole breakfast of hearts!!
Pinterest Inspiration
Heart Cinnamon Rolls - Pinterest
Heart Hard-boiled Egg - Pinterest
Heart shaped strawberries - Pinterest
So, I decided to go for it. The heart shaped pancakes were an obvious choice, so I used my heart shaped cookie cutters to make super cute pancakes in 4 different shapes. I also got a heart silicone muffin pan at Target (in the dollar section) and thought they would be perfect to make cinnamon rolls in.

I am way happy to present to you this week's sponsor! I have a special place in my heart for stationary, cards, invites, and such, so I have had a really hard time deciding which of this awesome shop's listings to show you. I'd like for you to feast your eyes on Paper Fox Designs.
This is a one woman show run by Andrea and she has a huge passion for graphic design and making sure her clients get exactly what they're searching for. Take a look at some of what she has to offer at her shop:
These are customizable Valentine's for your child to hand out to all their friends and they're so unique and fun! How could you pass these up! These are so much better than any store bought box of Valentine's out there!
Simply awesome! Right?!?! Okay, how about something to frame and put in a nursery? Take a look:
Paper Fox Designs is giving one lucky BU&M reader a $25 Credit to use toward anything in the shop!!
Tomorrow is the first day of February! Crazy, I know! It's amazing how these months just keep on ticking by! I wanted to bring something in to L's school for all his teacher's to enjoy for Valentine's Day and I didn't want it to be to over the top in the calories department, but I also wanted it to be sweet and yummy. Did you know that marshmallows are only 25 calories each? Hmm. Well, decorated, hand-dipped marshmallows was what I settled on. I created a pop tag to go with it and you can get the FREE printable below. :D

Love is in the air! I LOVE seeing all the beautiful Valentine's creations out there and I have been bookmarking things left and right. Here is a little round-up of some of my most favorite Valentine's crafts!
This was a pretty popular post from last year and I just wanted to share it with y'all again, just in case you missed it. ;)

Well, Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching and did we get out the Valentine's decorations? -- wait,.. do I even have Valentine's decorations? I dunno,... but, they didn't come out to play this year. I think I'm still soaking in the plain-ness that is my home after all the Christmas decorations came down. Ya' know? I did see an awesome Valentine's project in one of the many magazine's that make a monthly (or weekly) trip to our house and I just couldn't resist. It's so simple and I knew my big kiddo would absolutely adore it. He's a total boy, so anything plane, train, or automobile (or boat) is a winner. So, today Mommy was "the best Mommy, ever!" I kid you not, he actually said that to me when I got done with this thing and showed it to him. He was a little bummed out to hear that he couldn't "play" with it and that it was only for keeping his Valentine's cards in, though.
Now, I can't for the life of me remember what magazine I saw this in, but here's how you start...
Take a milk carton and either, tape the spout closed or cut off the plastic spout or you can do what I did and just push it in. Then, cut a piece of cardboard (like from a cereal box) at 3 3/4 x 10 inches.
