Candyless Valentine's Day

Around the holidays, the more parents and teachers that I talked to, the more told me that their child wasn’t able to take treats into school for birthdays and holidays. Let me rephrase that – they could take treats in, but they needed to be healthy treats. FUN SUCKERS!

This must be a national trend, because I’m seeing more and more “treats” that aren’t exactly food, but small prezzies (girlspeak for presents).

Here are a few that caught my eye for Valentine’s Day…
