Half-assing Valentine’s Day with Kids

We’re still recovering from the chaos, er magic, of Christmas but Valentine’s Day, the holiday of love and roses, is right around the corner. Between stuffing 25 bags for each kid’s class, finding a show-stopping “Baby’s First Valentine’s Day” ensemble, and capturing one thousand insta-perfect moments, we’re exhausted already. Here are our tips for half-assing Valentine’s Day, the Hallmark Holiday, so we can make it to St. Patrick’s Day!
