Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Simple Kid’s Valentine’s Day Party

January 26, 2017 Uncategorized

This adorable simple kid’s Valentine’s Day party is easy to put together!

Red heart paper plates with glasses of milk beside them on the table.

Hello friends and I am so happy to have you back for another Valentine’s Day Post. This time I have joined some blogging friends to share 11 different ways to throw a Kid’s Valentine’s Day Party. If you are coming here from Summer over at She Leaves a Little Sparkle – welcome! I am sure you left her place seeing all the creativity and prettiness she shares…

The kiddos and I got to work on a fun little Valentine celebration. I made this fairly simple because truthfully that is how I would throw a little get together with their friends/mommies. We all just love being together and the focus is on the company. Plus kids see the beauty in everything don’t they!? Of course we were the only ones at this party because it’s not officially Valentine’s Day – but it gives you the idea ;).

Mom and kids in the kitchen baking.

We gathered in our small kitchen (you can see just how tiny it is with all of us cooking in a corner here, lol!) and started the main course.

Mini heart pizzas on a baking sheet ready to go into the oven.

For a sweet celebration like this I think easy is best when it comes to the main meal. We took a large heart cookie cutter and thawed out frozen pizza dough, making heart shaped pizzas. This of course could be part of the festivities with a group of kids. You could have the toppings set out and let everyone dress their own personal pizza.

Donuts being iced on a tray.

Next we baked up our favorite donut recipe and dipped them in icing.

A donut with white icing and silver sprinkles on a black and white paper plate with a little boy about to eat it.

Then we eagerly decorated each donut with our favorite sugars and sprinkles. With these little ones of mine, you can never have enough sugar!

Donuts on a cooling rack with coconut and red sprinkled icing.

Just like the mini heart pizzas decorating donuts is another fun way to get everyone involved. It may be sticky, but all of this cooking/baking requires little fuss and the result is perfect!

Now onto the table…

Red, gray fabric hearts on a wooden bench.

We put felt pocket hearts on every place setting, either hung behind each chair or on the bench. These were purchased at Target and the larger felt hearts at Hobby Lobby (I glued individual pieces together with hot glue to make a pocket).

White flowers in a white vase.

Flowers that we already had on hand were set in a row of vases. The black and white was a fun contrast to the reds.

Red paper plate with a white doily on the table.

Craft store plates and paper doilies sat atop large square chargers. I wanted everything to be natural and neutral (big surprise ;)! So I used these inexpensive wood utensils, dollar mini milk glasses and paper straws. Again anything purchased was from dollar bins or sale craft items.

Dining room table decorated.

It was quick to put together and my Zealand/Everly loved helping out.

Red heart plates on the table with a metal chandelier hanging above the table.

For a little extra special touch I wrapped empty notecards with pencils so that the kids could each write kind notes and drop them into their love heart pockets for one another.

A little boy at the plate setting with a glass of milk in front of him.

Here you can see the tender expressions on their faces as they get ready to feast at our party…

A little girl with iced donuts in front of her at the table.

Holding off on the donuts until after pizza was a stretch, but they we were all able to do it =).

Glasses of milk with straws in them beside the vase with white flowers on the table.

I treasure these moments with my kids, I really do and I know how fast they are going. I can sense the pace they speed ahead too.

While fancy is pretty (you may have seen my grown up table here from a couple days ago) simple is wonderful as well. Again, it’s the memories and the experiences of time together that are priceless.

Every excited giggle over sticky donuts and heart shaped anything makes me smile.

I hope you enjoyed this get together today and maybe found some inspiration on something you may choose to do too. As always, thank you so much for being here with me. Please make sure to head over to Courtney at A Thoughtful Place. I have followed Courtney’s blog for a long time and I admire all that she so beautifully does! The rest of the tour is listed below for your enjoyment!

    I absolutely love the idea of the heart-shaped pizzas (and wouldn’t have ever thought of it!). I’m totally going to have to give that idea a try! Such a beautiful and festive setting!

    Everything looks adorable! I can only imagine how excited Z and Evy were. And I’m dying to know what they said on their sweet cards. They truly are so loving and kind to one another…. (Were those extra seats at the table for Nani and Popii?)

One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices
Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out Clearly blue is on our mind... We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕
Ever since I was little I can remember my dad tell Ever since I was little I can remember my dad telling me (who is a contractor/designer) the importance of using 3’s 💕. Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
