Our first Valentine’s Day as homeschoolers stands out clearly in my mind.
We took a trip to visit my parents and my mom made Valentine boxes for the kids and had an elaborate party for us. She told me she was so worried about Anna and Grant not getting to exchange Valentines in school. (I remember as a child that Valentine boxes in school were a BIG DEAL, don’t you?)
It’s funny the silly fears we have about homeschooling, isn’t it?
We always managed to have great Valentine celebrations (despite the lack of 30 friends putting store-bought Valentines into boxes!) - and this roundup today will feature our best ideas and resources.
