Valentines Day is a month away!  Are you a planner or do you just wing it?  Me, I’m a planner.  A schemer and a dreamer with big ideas.  So I start early.  And our wedding anniversary is the week before so that might have something to do with it too.  And Little J’s birthday is two days after our anniversary.  So, basically the first week of February is busy for me.  So, in case you start early too, here‘s 11 Valentines day ideas:

Pre-Planned Date Night Kit

I'm Krista. Ringleader here on While He Was Napping, wife to my handsome Mr. Right & momma to my THREE energetic boys, Big J (9), Little J (6) & Little N (4). We FINALLY added a beautiful little girl to our family last December.

I’m knee-deep in Tonka trucks & Thomas trains. I survive our crazy days with Vanilla Coke, Sonic slushies, sweet snuggles and little giggles. When I tuck them in tight & kiss them good night, I get a little time to create & just be me.
