Inside: Valentines Day Snack Mix + Our Favorite Stay at Home Date Ideas
Valentines is just a week away, which means it’s time to start planning all the sweet activities. Some of our favorite Valentine’s activities include games with the kiddos, making fun Valentines for our friends and neighbors, and creating cute treats to snack on.
This year of course looks a little different from the last, but that won’t stop us from having a blast. We plan to stay home and have the best party with the kids, and once they go to bed my husband and I plan on cuddling up on the couch to enjoy a romatic movie.
But what celebration is complete without the perfect snack selection? This sweet Valentine’s day snack mix is perfect for an afternoon treat for the kids to a late-night munch for a movie. It’s so easy to make and a total crowd favorite.
