Being single for more Valentine's Days than I care to remember, this particular "holiday" hasn't ever really meant that much to me. That said, when you have kids it's pretty hard to ignore the pink and red completely. Year after year I'd find myself cutting hearts out of cardboard, making chocolates, or buying boxes and boxes of those cartoon-themed Valentine's Day cards that the kids exchange at school.

Well, the other day I happened to visit the Marshmallow Peep website, and I'm wishing I would have come across a few of their ideas when my daughter was a little younger. They have several Valentine-themed projects that the kids could easily help with, and won't cause you to be in the kitchen or at the craft table for days on end. Featured on their website are Strawberry Heart Cupcakes, an I Love You Bouquet, and Sweetheart Lollipops. (As pictured above.)

Now I realize that the world is divided into two groups - those who love Peeps and those who can't stand them. Personally, I just happen to adore them, and the latest addition to their family of treats is a new sugar-free variety. This is very good news to those of us still trying to stick to our New Year's resolutions.
