    Valentine’s Day Printable Color Pages

    I hope your kids enjoy coloring Valentine’s Day printable color pages that I made for my children. Feel free to share them with your mom friends for their kids too!

    I’m usually a last minute kinda girl for everything, especially for holidays but with only so much time I sometimes miss the window to execute some of the ideas I have to make holidays more special for my children. I want to do better though, so I decided to make my kids Valentine’s Day coloring pages super early this year. They all have different interests and personalities so I tried to keep that in mind when I made them these fun Valentine’s Day printable color pages. Of course, I had to share them with you so have fun with them.

    Llama Love

    My 3-year-old daughter loves llamas and alpacas so I made this particular page with her in mind. She’s been practicing counting a lot recently so I made three because I knew she would be excited to count them. If you want only the Llama love color page, download it below.

    Dino Love

    My two younger kids both love dinosaurs so I created this coloring page with them in mind. It was fun making a dinosaur lovable because they’re not the typical image for Valentine’s Day. The kids love it!

    Bee My Valentine

    This is my favorite coloring page and this one I guess shows love in relationship to others for kids. Valentine’s Day is about appreciating loved ones, not just romantic partners and I want them to understand that from a young age.

    Unicorn Love

    Last but not least is this unicorn coloring page, my oldest loves unicorns so this coloring page was for her.

    5 Romantic Ideas For An Epic Valentine’s Day

    This post is sponsored post. As usual, all opinions and ideas expressed are my own. 

    EPIC-valentines-day.jpg

    Let’s make a plan to make this Valentine’s Day an epic one for our love lives! Whether you’ve been married forever, haven’t had sexy time in a hot minute or your love life is amazing there it’s always exciting to try something different or turn things up a notch. That’s what exactly what I want us all to do this Valentine’s Day, we deserve it. So, I wanted 5 romantic ideas to make this Valentine’s Day in collaboration with 3Wishes.com.  If you usually leave the planning to your love, I want to challenge you to take control this year and surprise him. Men love surprises and they love when we take charge. Whatever you do, don’t let him on, give him the impression that you’re busy with the kids, potty training, doing homework and all that other mundane mommy stuff while you plot.  Now that’s out of the way, here are 5 romantic ideas for an epic Valentine’s Day:

    1. Take A Caviar Bath! 

    This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Tuesday and I think that’s perfect because it’s important that we learn to connect on a regular day. So celebrate early with the kids, get them to bed earlier than usual and focus on each other. After a long day of going non-stop, it can be difficult to unwind, feel good or even sexy. So turn off all your electronics, and run yourself a bath to relax. Maybe even turn down the lights and light some candles. It’s important to relax and connect with ourselves so we can easily connect with our partners. Use a scrub that makes your body feel good too like the Flirty Little Secret Pink Caviar Scrub. Yes, just the name alone relaxed me too.

    2. Play a grown up game!

    Ever heard the couple who plays together, stays together? Me neither but it totally makes sense. Adulting is so serious why not loosen up with a grown-up game like I.O.U The Game of Hidden Pleasures.  We all need to laugh and just enjoy time together. You and your love will learn some new trick and secrets.IOUGame

    3. Become a masseuse. 

    Who doesn’t need a massage? I don’t think there is a parent who would turn down a massage. It’s the perfect way to connect and distress. Here’s a little secret, if you’re an amateur masseuse you can use YouTube to improve your skills. There are tons of really good videos teaching you to give massages by professionals. Once you improve your skills, get the Don’t Stop Massage Oil to seem more like a professional.

    4. Tickle!

    Another way to get each other laughing, some good old tickling. You can have fun with these tickle feathers and powder that will make your skin glow.

    5. Spend some bedroom bucks!

    Sometimes, our guys do the most amazing thing at the perfect time, like bring us a latte when he ran out to do errands or run out to in the cold to fill up your car’s gas tank for you. Sneak him some Bedroom Bucks when the kids aren’t looking. This will build anticipation and give each other a little secret excitement.

    3 Unique Valentine’s Day Date Ideas

    3-unique-valentines-day-date-night-ideas

    It’s only a few days before Valentine’s Day and the idea of going to dinner is cool and all but what about doing something really different and fun this year with your hubby. Seriously, I feel like we have enough monotony in our lives as mothers. Time to shake things for ourselves and for our relationships. This year I want to push myself to really live and not exist. That means not just sticking to what I am comfortable with. So I wanted to share some of the cool Valentines Day date ideas that are swirling through my head this year:

    Indoor Rock Climbing

    Indoor rock climbing is at the top of our list of things to do this year. I really want to push myself physically and so does Mr. Rattles. We’ve never been rock climbing but the idea excites and scares us simultaneously which is a good thing. One of my closest friends shared that climbing with her beau has really strengthened their trust as they learn to rely on each other. Plus, you get to see each other in a new light which may lead to you being attracted to each other in new ways. This is also a relatively affordable date for parents who aren’t interested in breaking the bank just for one day.

    Helicopter Tour

    Talking about breaking the bank, if that’s what you’re all about and you don’t mind splurging,  a helicopter tour will give you an epic experience. Most people think about helicopter tours as excursions for tourists or the rich but there are many companies that offer packages for the average person. An old acquaintance of mine shared that she was able to snag affordable tickets from the website Groupon to treat herself and her husband to this awesome experience. It doesn’t get better than snuggling up to your hubby while sipping champagne flying around the Empire State Building.

    DJ Class

    Music creates bonds and memories, most of us are transported through years and to different places when we hear certain songs. That’s why you should take a DJ class together on Valentine’s Day. Who doesn’t love music? We all do, this will be the perfect time to revisit “your song” and to share music that always makes you think of each other. You can even make a mix just for each other, a lifetime memory.
