I pulled everyone together for our traditional valentine’s kitchen Heart Attack for Family Home Evening this week. (I made that sound like it was easy, and it should be with only two kids home, but I’m still herding cats these days.) I love this tradition even more now that kids have moved away. For some…
We were a little late this year for our traditional “heart attack.” It was fun to have a few extra guests with us to whip out our hearts. They got in the spirit of it all right along with the rest of us. Love them! Sure love these girls too: After we hung up all…
We whipped out our annual Valentine’s “heart attack” for Family Home Evening a few weeks before Max took off.

We did our traditional Valentine’s Day “heart attack” this week for the first time in our new house. I love being surrounded by love notes each year in February. Makes my heart so happy.

Speaking of FHE (thanks for all the GREAT ideas by the way), this week we did our traditional Valentine’s “Heart Attack” (I still thank Nicole every year for this idea). We each write what we love about each different family member on a heart. Then we heart-attack the kitchen with them. We embellished some with…
