My Funny Valentine

I love this song and this version sung by Matt Damon in The Talented Mr. Ripley is my favorite. I love how sweet and timid he sings it. I wasn't a fan of his until this movie and now he is one of my favorites. Good soundtrack overall.

What are you doing for Valentine's Day? My mom is coming for a visit and I am dragging Michael to a maternity ward tour at the hospital! ha! How romantic. It's safe to say I'll make sure he and girlie feel well loved though the rest of the weekend.

Valentine's Day Fortune Cookies for Kids :)

Eleanor loves fortune cookies - and so do I. So, I thought for Valentine's Day this year I'd make up a fun batch of personalized ones for her, some cousins and kids that I watch! I even found some cute Valentine's Day chinese take-out boxes at the dollar section of Target yesterday to package them in. I have made them once or twice before (not with messages though) and enjoyed it, although I do remember having to work fast to fold them before they cooled.

So, I am trying to come up with some cute ideas for the fortunes for kids ages 2-5. So far I have come up with things like....

"there's a yummy snack in your future"
"you bring smiles to all around you"
"you will get lots of hugs and kisses"
"let's color!"

Eleanor would enjoy something like "you'll become an amazing trapeze artist!"

Do you have any ideas?? Also, do you think I should put the child's name at the start of every fortune too or just leave them generic? And should I type them out or hand write the fortunes? Thanks!
