Happy Valentine's Day, Friends.
I have (what I hope is) an amazing day planned. An off-the-wall surprise for my husband, a classroom Valentine party for my son, then maybe some time to myself in my spin class? We shall see. But first, coffee. And a bit of blogging.
We finished Em's Valentine's last night, so I thought I'd share them with you today. She made the girls in her preschool class - seriously, there are only girls in this class, ten of them, all 3 going on 13 - Valentine Mix Tapes (and for the record, I'll never stop calling them mix tapes).
I created the CD cover with photoshop, leaving room for Em to sign her name. She picked a couple of the tracks (Call Me Maybe and Never Ever Getting Back Together - we're calling that one the anti-Valentine), but Clay and I picked the rest. Em didn't get full creative control because I wanted a couple new songs for her to enjoy as well. And because I didn't want to hear her two picks over. And over. And over. Well not anymore than I already have to. Totes included a Britney track by the way, because, obviously.
Homegirl can make fierce E's and M's.
Then we printed the covers out, inserted them into the CD cases, and burnt the songs onto the discs. Total dance party commencing in three, two, one...
Now that coffee is done, it's time to break out the wine, right? Day drinking is totally acceptable on holidays. And work days. And weekends. ♥
SUCH A CUTE IDEA!!
ReplyDeleteEm hasn't stopped listening to hers yet :)

Aw, thanks ♥
DeleteOmg! I love that idea. I totally call them mix tapes too lol
ReplyDeleteLove that you let her pick some songs and added Britney in there! Every girl has to love Britney :)
Thanks Jordan ♥
DeleteAwww very cute idea for a three year old! I have a five year old niece and would've died of cuteness if I received something like this!
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how much 3-5 year-olds dig music. I mean real music. We have a cd of silly songs, like I'm Carrying A Baby Bumblebee, etc, but my kids would much rather listen to The Beatles, Britney, and Bieber ;)
DeleteGreat to be following such a cute and creative blog.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day : )
Thank you! You too ♥
Deletehow adorable!! love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks much :)
