SMART MOM GOES GREEN
Green valentines

E-cards have come a long way. This year, trade your standard paper love note for an e-card that allows you to personalize the message and even upload a photo.
   
Say “Be Mine” and show your crafty side by making a valentine of your own using recycled and natural materials.
  
Tell your loved ones to skip the roses this time around and request a potted plant that you can put in your yard this spring – and watch it grow every day.
   
For the lil’ loved ones in your life, check out lil’ bloomer cards and heart-shaped garden tags. (bloomin.com) These fun, eco-friendly tags and cards are made of seed paper and are plantable!
   
Eat locally – give your spouse or significant other a date night at a restaurant that specializes in organic or locally grown foods – walk there if you can!
   
For the sweet tooth in your life, opt for organic, fair trade chocolates.


SOLUTION OF THE MONTH
Show your love

Here’s an easy, inexpensive way to show your kids some love this Valentine’s Day:
   
You’ll need some red, pink and white construction paper cut into heart shapes, chocolate candy kisses, a pen and a glass Mason jar for each child. Beginning on Feb. 1, write one thing you love about each child on a heart, and place it in his or her jar along with a kiss. By Valentine’s Day, your kids will have a jar full of 14 things that you love about them, along with plenty of kisses. Now that’s sweet!
