How sweet it is, Valetines gifts with meaning

Happy Hump Day Mamas! Kimberly is on her way to Boston to meet with the always amazing leaders at Room to Grow who make everyday a sweet one for some very special moms and expecting moms in Boston.  I am at home giving Kimberly a hand with a project on one of her other jobs, like children, she can't just have one.  Or three.  Or four;) We should all be blessed with that much energy!!!! How do you do it all Kim?? Or is that another post? Anyhooo..back to the matter at hand, Valentines Day.  Sweet Valentines Day.

When my oldest was a baby we listened to James Taylor every night  while I rocked her to sleep.  Everytime I hear his Greatest Hits volume one I get teary eyed-she's now 9, and no longer rock-able. Try as I might.   But still sweet as pie. 

Sometimes the sweetest Valentines gifts are those with hidden meanings that only you and the recipient understand.  

Relive your travels as a couple with a customized subway scroll.  Even if  you haven't left your state, you can certainly include local cities or streets.

I strongly believe in showing young daughters how much they are loved every day, but Valentines is a truly special time for Dad or Mom to step up to the plate and really hit it out of the park.  Let them know they will always be your little princess and give them something so they remember this everyday.

Music! For those pesky teens that eat all your food and leave dirty laundry everywhere.  Fill their iPods with all those songs you grew up singing together.  They say they hate them but they totally don't.  Kate Spade iPod cases help. 

Still dreaming of that luxurious trip you took, or your honeymoon to where ever but can't afford to go back?  Did you know most hotels sell those blankets they call "bathrobes", just call the concierge and ask.  And then start saving for your return trip.
