Personal: Valentine's Day Kissing Booth

I have never known a greater love...

My Elijah, today is no exception: You just run my heart, little one. 

♥ Happy Valentine's Day!! ♥

Kissing Booths are hard work hu, buddy?

Wishing you all an amazingly LOVE-FILLED Valentine's Day! Muah!

Props/Credits: This kissing-booth idea was taken from Pinterest, but the tweaks I made were so easy! I hand cut the hearts from red & white card-stock and used permanent red marker on the clothes-pins to paint stripes. The small nickles were so fun for him to count and stack so it kept this 15-month-old entertained the whole time. (But I know that at the age of 2 I ate and swallowed a penny, so if you want to do something similar, just make sure you watch these little ones. ;) Luckily, Eli doesn't tend to put things in his mouth. Phew!) The frame was made by my father from reclaimed-barn-wood (and yes, we are SO CLOSE to opening our Etsy shop!). And a red-lipstick kiss on his face cost me nothing but restraint...it was so hard not to  smoother him in kisses. :-*
