I have had a few great non-candy Easter basket ideas on my blog lately (Veggie Tales DVD, Strawberry Shortcake DVD, Puppet Monster and Little Angels Prayers For Children.).

Valentine's Day is this week. I am excited about the gifts I have for my Princess. She loves Valentine's Day. Do you give your kids gifts for this holiday?

It is so … [Read more...]
