Calling all holiday challenged chickas! I have big ideas, but never enough time in the day to tackle it all. I’m learning daily that I have to keep things simple, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be awesome. So, if you are challenged in any way when it comes to Pinterest ideas, holiday treats, etc….this post is for you. Easy “recipes” right here ladies! No baking, no cooking, just some assembly. We got this! Make awesome Valentine treats with your kids this year! For instance, check out these 3 dessert ideas from Mrs. Freshley’s. We already love Mrs. Freshley’s snacks, now we can enjoy our favorite treats with a Valentine twist.
As our kids get older, I have enjoyed getting their help with holiday projects. It’s not so much help as much as it is a way for us to spend time doing something together. They are always asking to work with me in the kitchen. We will have no problem trying out these 3 recipes for our Valentine’s dinner. Have you seen the other holiday treats Mrs. Freshley’s has helped us create? Visit www.mrsfreshleys.com for more great ideas!
