Last year I had a lot more ideas for couples and significant others. If you are looking for ideas such as these, go to my "2009 Valentine Ideas" post.

This year It seems I collected a lot more craft ideas and tutorials. All are great ideas and fun so check them out and enjoy! However, I did want to share with you what I am wanting to do this Valentines with my kids. If you are going to be stuck home with the kids Valentines night or you and your spouse can't get a sitter, here is a fun idea they will enjoy....

Homemade Heart Shaped Pizza

I am just going to shape the dough into a heart. I do have a really easy and fast recipe I will be using, which I found on Money Saving Mom. "Homemade Pizza under 30 Min." and yes, it takes under 30 minutes and taste delicious!
My kids love helping me make homemade pizza!

Crafty Ideas and Tutorials:

Momma D Jane has this great idea on what to do with all those valentines your children come home with. I am pretty sure your children will also have a blast putting these together.
