10 Adorable Valentine’s Day Books + 3 of Our Favorite Bookstores in Columbus

It must be all the pink associated with Valentine’s Day that just makes my heart sing with my girls this time of year! Also, I throughly enjoy that some of my favorite colors are everywhere to be found in Target in the midst of gloomy winter. Oh, the fact that the girly children’s books that surround this holiday are just the cutest things I’ve ever seen – perfect to pull out year after year. Yeah, I guess there’s a lot of things to love about Valentine’s Day 🙂 Anyways, here are our favorite books for this holiday!

(Exact bookshelves can be found here)

Catch a Kiss: The fan favorite of this bunch, for sure! A memorable story about blowing and catching kisses from mama.

Llama Llama I Love You: One of our faves!

Flora the Flamingo: Okay, so this wordless picture book isn’t exactly a Valentine’s Day book but it’s a sweet, lovable story, with the most beautiful cover, nonetheless!

Love is a Tutu: For the ballerina types 🙂

The Pink Umbrella: A longer story – definitely for the older kiddos – with gorgeous illustrations and a stellar storyline.

The Night Before Valentine’s Day: To the tune of The Night Before Christmas, we love this one!

Where is Baby’s Valentine?: A life-the-flap style story, trying to find baby’s valentine 🙂

Bunny Roo, I Love You: The most precious story with animals.

Counting Kisses: We love this cute Karen Katz book. It’s a “kiss and read” book!

Emma: An simple emotions book. I love the illustrations and emotions depicted in this story for little toddlers!

Also, Columbus enthusiasts…

The following are my utmost favorite bookstores in the city. Would love to hear any other recommendations you have!

Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day starte Hoppy Easter! 🐰🌷 This was how the day started but certainly not how it ended 😆! We had two exhausted kiddos (& parents!), tummy aches (& more) from too much candy, & lots of meltdowns along the way! 🌸 Holidays are FUN & oh so memorable... but it’s always great to get back to the regular routine! 🤍😊 #easter
E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remem E A S T E R 🐰 is getting sooo close! 🌷 remember a few weeks ago when I showed you guys some things I was going to gift the girls for Easter? Well, I’ve decided since Ellie’s bday is so close to the holiday this year, I’m splitting up the goodies, gifting half on her bday & half on Easter. Less is more this year! We just don’t need all the STUFF. Mamas, you know what I saying here right?? 🤍🤍🤍 also found those cute baskets on @etsy ... I’ll link them but found them bc of @themamanotes ! I can’t take credit for this find but they sure are CUTE!
What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? What are your fave shops for bday party supplies? ✨ My go-to shops are: @glamfete @ellieandpiperco @fancyfreefinery @shopsweetlulu & @amazon 🤍✨ currently planning Ellie’s bday which is just around the corner! #birthdayparty #kidsbirthday
Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun act Puffy paint fun!!! 🎨 So simple & such a fun activity for the girls - white glue, shaving cream, & food coloring! 🌈 Really though, I should be working on our tax return since the one month countdown is on! I always seem to wait until the last minute! Anyone else?! 🙈 This year, if you plan to put any of your refund into college savings, I’ve partnered with Ohio’s 529 to share the benefit of saving for college in a 529 account rather than a traditional savings account. That’s because all contributions and earnings grow tax-free in a 529 plan, meaning your money will go farther compared to savings in a traditional, low-interest savings account. SWIPE to see a cool graphic they put together to show the difference it can make over time!
DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last yea DIY Easter Egg Wreath! 🐇 This diy from last year was sooo simple! We picked up white eggs from the dollar store, painted them, and then hot glued them to a styrofoam wreath! 🐣🌷✨ #easterdiy #diy #easter #eastereggs
