Since Valentine’s Day is an excuse to have a party and eat candy during school hours, most kids are big fans of the holiday. Especially since most schools now require kids to bring in Valentines for everyone in class, unlike when I was a kid. That was brutal!

Now moms celebrate Valentine’s Day by baking 17 dozen heart-shaped cookies on the night before our kids’ classroom parties, while tactfully dropping hints to our husbands that next year the perfect Valentine’s Day gift would be for him to help the kids fill out those ink-smudged SpongeBob cards that rip every time you try to attach the freakin’ Dum Dum suckers!

Deep breath.

Why not bring the fun back to February 14th by exchanging Valentines again—this time with your mom friends? I’ve got the perfect cards for you.

Now, who’s got an empty box of wine we can make into a mailbox?
