Valentine's Day Giveaway to Pear Tree Greetings

Thursday, January 23, 2014

I "mustache" you a question, Will you be my Valentine? 

I big-puffy-heart Valentine's Day. I remember the joy from my own childhood of my shoebox decorated in pink hearts sitting on my desk at school and giving specially-picked Valentines to my friends sealed up in their little envelopes and the uber-excitement when one of those cards was extra thick because a candy heart was stuffed inside. I just love everything about Valentine's Day - I love the hearts, the candy, all that red and pink and the adorably clever Valentine puns that surface during the season (note the first line of this blog!). It's just a sweet, lovely little holiday to warm up a day in the middle of winter. 

I especially love that in 2014, we have PINTEREST to give us so many creative ideas to make Valentines bigger/badder/faster/stronger {insert a Kanye beat} than when I was a kid. But I don't love that Pinterest ideas usually take time. And craftiness. Neither of which I have.   

Enter the amazing power of social media!! I follow Pear Tree Greetings on Instagram and loved the convenience + clever-mom cuteness of their kids valentines card posts. I loved that I could create mini cards that are the same size as the store-bought cards but put a personal, cute spin on them. Lord knows I love to put a photograph on anything and everything! And best of all, it took me 10 minutes to design and order! BOOM! Parenting win!

With two boys, I just adored the Mustache-themes! Check out the ones we made for Henry's class!

And since I'm pretty obsessed with mustaches, I also had to have these mustache candy cards to hand out to Henry's preschool class. I love how they dress up the quintessential heart lollipops and also make a precious photo prop as well!!

The boys had way too much fun with them!!

Keep scrolling through the probably-too-many photos of my cute kiddos to the bottom of this post -- I am giving away $25 to Pear Tree Greetings for one winner to create their own Valentine's Cards!
