 Shall we chat donuts? Yes! I think so!!! I don’t think I’ve met any adult or child that would turn down a donut so I figured what a perfect sweet treat to help us celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Truly the perfect ending to a delicious family meal.

I love a fun tablescape so I grabbed some decor at Walmart and the local craft store to create this adorable Valentine’s Day table. I displayed my framed menu, a Hallmark Signature Valentine’s Day card for my husband and one for my boys along with small gifts for each of them. I adore a bunting banner so thats hanging at the front of the table. Some fun pom pom balls hanging in the background and the glass drinking bottles that I made festive with a sticker! So simple but it really makes the kiddos feel special and thats what its all about!
