Valentine's Recipes for Kids
============================

Cook Up Something Special with Your Child for Valentine's Day
By Lee Jackson 

Valentine’s Day is not only a day for celebrating “romantic love” but it can be a day 
of expressing love between parents and children. One of the most important things parents 
can do for their children is to show them they are loved, accepted and appreciated. In 
her book, Cooking Around the Calendar With Kids — Holiday and Seasonal Food and Fun, 
Amy Houts offers many ideas for helping parents and children find joy in working together. 
Spending focused time with children shows them they are special and loved. Here are 
some easy suggestions you can do to express love and appreciation for your child in a 
fun way on this Valentine’s Day. 

· Hide candy hearts or chocolate kisses in your child’s cereal. 

· Make pancakes in the form of a heart. Serve with strawberries and whipped cream. 

· Set out paper place mats and help your child decorate them with a Valentine’s Day theme. 

· Send a note in your child’s lunch box or backpack thanking them for something they did 
or simply telling them “I love you”. 

· Plan a treasure hunt by leaving little notes around the house expressing your 
appreciation for something they did. End with a riddle or clue to the next hiding place 
where they will find a candy or special memento. Have something special at the last 
hiding place such as a toy or treat. 

· Give lots of hugs and kisses. Don’t let your child grow up without them. There is no 
greater reassurance of their lovability and worth than to be affectionately touched and held. 
Affirming statements such as “I love you just the way you are; I’m so glad you’re my son 
(or daughter)” need to be given often, not only on Valentine’s Day. 

There are lots more suggestions for this and other special days in Cooking Around the 
Calendar With Kids — Holiday and Seasonal Food and Fun. This is a fun book you can read 
and use with your child all year long. 

Author Amy Houts is a former children's librarian and preschool teacher. She is the 
author of an early childhood curriculum cookbook, Learning Through Cooking Activities, 
and five children's books.

Listen for Heart Whispers
By Nancy Bishop

“Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.” ~ Louise L. Hay 

I enjoy the month of February with its emphasis on love and hearts. It’s nice to have 
a month that encourages us to be more heart-centered versus brain-centered. 

What if you started to listen for what your heart whispers to you? How might your life be 
different if you followed your heart? The answers may not make sense to the rest of the 
world and the path may not look like one that anyone else would want to follow. The point 
is that when you are living an authentic life, you are making your own path. The path 
begins when you take steps to move forward in your life. 

Your heart is always calling you, in your dreams, or, it may be what is keeping you up at 
night. You will also feel its urging in your waking hours. Dare to follow it, dare to believe 
in yourself for that is where your power lives. It is when we choose to ignore the heart’s 
gentle calling that it begins to get louder. Sometimes there is so much static in our lives 
it keeps us disconnected from our hearts and then it takes a huge crisis or event to get us 
to pay attention, change our ways, or move in another direction. 

Remember our hearts need “soul food” to keep our spirits healthy and strong. What is your 
particular brand of “soul food?” Is it music, colors, art, poetry, connections with family 
and friends, adventure, bird songs, flowers, dancing? 

Discover the “soul food” that feeds your spirit. Pay attention to those things that send 
goosebumps up and down your skin or make the hair on the back of your neck electrify with 
excitement. Have a reserve of “soul food” so that you never suffer from a hungry heart. 

Don’t forget to check in with your heart on a daily basis. Ask for it’s guidance and assistance 
then quietly listen for your heart whispers.
