03 1 Heart Shaped and Healthy: 13 Valentines Surprises for Kids
Valentine’s Day falls on Tuesday this year, so that means a lot of epic dinners and breakfasts in bed will be postponed until the weekend. But just because you don’t have time for a big production on a Tuesday, that doesn’t mean you can’t put together a healthy surprise for the kids on the day itself. Minor love-based modifications to quick and easy breakfasts, healthy treats in school lunches, simple dinners, and Valentine’s Day desserts are a great way to show a little extra love for your family. Here are 13 healthy ideas, heart-shaped and otherwise, to incorporate into your Valentine’s Day meals.
