Nanny to Mommy

Valentine's is right around the corner and do you know what your plans are yet? With everything going on in the world, we are sticking to our usual Date Night at Home. But for the kiddos I thought I would try something fun. They have been out of in-school and back to virtual so they haven't making as many crafts like the normally do. So I thought it would fun to do an easy little craft for Valentine's Day to stimulate their creativity. 

You've reached a stage in your life where you want to have kids. Or, this could be a stage in your life where you want another child to add to the one you already have. Some time has passed since your first baby, and you're older and biologically different from back then. In either situation, you may be hit with the realization that pregnancy is no longer possible. This could be due to either male or female infertility, and it hits you like a ton of bricks when you find out. You feel like your world is crumbling as you can't add a child to this world. Thankfully, modern medicine means this isn't as big of a worry as it used to be. In fact, there are many things you can do when you can't get pregnant: 

This Scrunchie Valentine Free Printable was created for every VSCO girl. And while I love creating these easy FREE printables for you to enjoy, I do include affiliate links where I make a small commission each time you make a purchase, but you still pay the same low price.




With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I was trying to think about what my daughter and I have created together for her to hand out to her class mates. From everything to a homemade Unicorn Valentine Box to easy, no fuss printables. This year I wanted to create something trendy that I knew she would enjoy handing out. Plus I am always trying to think of new non-candy Valentine ideas that kids or even teenagers will actually enjoy.

When I was trying to think about what to make with my daughter for our annual Valentine school handouts, I tried to think about the things she likes. As she thinks being a VSCO girl is the new hip thing (she is only in third grade after all), she loves her Hydroflask, saving the sea turtles one metal straw at a time, and of course scunchies. So I thought, why not create a cute printable for my readers that would make the perfect, non-candy school hand out.

First of all, what is a VSCO girl?

Babies are known for not being able to sleep very well. However, most babies grow out of this habit as they become toddlers and young children. Nevertheless, your child still might have some sleeping issues as they grow up. It's not wildly uncommon to see children aged 3-5 struggling with their sleep, leading to days full of tiredness and some pretty bleak nights. So, how do you help a child that's struggling to sleep? Here's a three-step process that you can try: 

The display of various flowers at weddings, special events, and in our homes is an age-old tradition that we still incorporate in our lives today. Despite the apparent beauty it creates, most blossoms and plants are associated with specific actions, ideas, and emotions. 

Expressed in floriography (flower language) lies the delicate art of flower symbolism that varies on the color, amount, and type of flowers given. In essence, every plant comes with its own unique meaning, and encompassing yourself with those that symbolize the things you value or want will help create a more positive environment. 

Being knowledgeable on plant symbolism will help you pick out gifts and décor that are more personalized and meaningful. The next time you want to send a thank you flower bouquet, you'll know which flowers and colors to choose to convey the intended message correctly. 

To better explain plant symbolism, we'll take a closer look at its history as well as the meaning of some of the most popular flowers.
