I survived Valentines Day!

I’m a sucker for love!

Dear Journal,

WHEW! This has been a very busy week. I never understood why my dad always stressed about what to get my mom for Valentines Day until now. This week our teacher told us, we would be having our very first Valentines Day party and we have to bring treats for the entire class. A lot of my classmates had great ideas and some had none at all. Don’t worry Ivylocs saved the day. I came up with some ideas to treat the entire class. They were very quick and mess-free (which my parents loved) for treats. I passed out “ I’m a sucker for you”  lollipop valentines grams and also  “ You make my heart pop” popcorn valentines.  The classes loved them!! Another Valentine’s Day in the book and it could not have been sweeter.  Until next time, problem solvers.
