Valentine's Day is here again, folks. Time to break out the colored paper, glitter & glue sticks. Personally, I love doing crafty stuff with my son. (Not limited to holidays, of course.) Seeing his imagination flowing & watching his super adorable "concentrating face". It's our special momma & son bonding time. I love it! We've already started making & handing out little Valentine's from Maxx to family & now we're making stuff for each other to hang up around the house.
Today we're making a little hedgehog! I spotted these little fellas on Pinterest & knew we had to try it out. So just to clarify, this was not my idea. RELAX. ;)

Now our little hedgehog has a home. :) The heart you see (bottom left) are the Valentines Maxx made for family & the photo book/scrapbook is something Maxx & I made together for the mister. (He hasn't received it yet. Just using it for blog purposes only. Shhh)
When you don't have a ton of extra moolah to actually go out on a nice date night or movie with your significant other, or buy pricey jewelry & flowers, this is second best. We have our days when we wish we could, but truthfully.. the material things are not all that important. It's important to spend time together as a couple, yes, but there are different, budget-friendly ways of showing that you love & appreciate being in each others lives. Such as staying in & making dinner together, & breaking out all craft supplies & going balls to the wall! This here may not seem like a whole lot, but it means more to us than you'd think. The thoughtfulness & the time spent together creating is key.
What are some ways you keep Valentine's Day on a budget? I'd love to hear!
xo, tracy
