A Valentine's solution

valentines

I'm passing along a good Valentine's solution for today's Tip Sheet, from Travel Savvy Mom via the always-helpful Parent Hacks.

Instead of having your child hand-make and/or sign a valentine for each of the 20-odd kids in his class, he can make one big, beautiful valentine -- and you can take a picture of him holding it. Make 20-odd prints, and the work is done.
