Today I’m taking a little detour from grammar and language arts to share three ideas (based on three products—one is free for the first two weeks of February!). Stay with me—you don’t need these $2 or $3 downloads to do these ideas.   Three Family Valentine’s Day Ideas 1. Keep Close Cards (free at LAL blog the first two weeks of February) ◦ Cards that say Let’s Keep Close and have space under to write an invitation to spend time together. ◦ Use as a monthly invite for one-on-one time with kids. ◦ Fill three in for future activities for Valentine’s gift, Easter basket, or Christmas stocking   2. 52 Ways to Say Triff cards ◦ Colorful, unisex, multi-age, cards with borders and various affirmations and compliments on them ◦ Some are specific to qualities (honesty, friendliness, diligence, kindness, initiative, etc) and some are more generic (you’re triff, so grateful for you, can’t believe you’re mine, etc) ◦ Room under each message to write personal note or message ◦ Use weekly! Also for under pillow notes, lunch box notes, back pack notes, mirror notes, and more!) ◦ Pass out at dinner table and read aloud what the person is getting acknowledged for ◦ Blank, bordered cards for you to create your own   3. Kids’ Faves documents ◦ Ask for kids’ favorites in 35 categories ◦ Use for getting gifts, surprises, rewards, treats, etc. ◦ Fill in with each child ◦ Use at Valentine’s Day or Christmas as a game to learn more about each other as a group ◦ Use for dinner conversations   Make Valentine’s Day a fun family affair with these three ideas/products! __________________________________________________ Look me up for more information and links to my resources:    Language Arts Lady Blog: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ Language Arts Lady Store: https://languageartsladystore.com/ Teachers Pay Teachers Store: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Language-Arts-Lady-With-Donna-Reish How I Teach YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC20OP_HNTUm8eBMNgMh06sQ Our Homeschool History YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUKW-AXDovY&list=PLjS7lbVmIJpx-3kxpeE8ianP4Ux1BX5iE Our Homeschool History Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/ourhomeschoolhistory How I Teach Episodes: https://languageartsladyblog.com/howiteach/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanguageartslady/ Monday Mini Mail (Archived Articles): https://languageartsladyblog.com/monday-mini-mail/  10Minute Grammar Podcast: https://languageartsladyblog.com/10-minute-grammar/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/characterinkhs/_created/ Facebook/Language Arts Lady: https://www.facebook.com/charactertrainingfromtheheart Punctuation Puzzles: https://languageartsladyblog.com/articles/punctuation-puzzles/  2022-2023 Classes and Tutoring: https://characterinkblog.com/classesandtutoring/ All LAL Freebies: https://languageartsladyblog.com/freebies/ How I Teach iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-i-teach/id1552986393
