I don’t know about you but on holidays I feel like I am always on candy patrol – especially the day of class parties. I have to immediately confiscate my daughter’s candy and dole it out over several days, sometimes she can’t have anything because of her allergies. Let’s face it, going candy free for Valentines is not only a healthier choice but parents (and teachers) will thank you for it! Make your kid’s valentines stand out by making them fun and Candy free!
