The Perfect Mother's Valentine's Day Box

Last night after I finished churning the artisan butter I plan to serve with the next morning's breakfast scones made from hand-ground flour and before I settled into my cozy little closet converted into a plush reading nook in one afternoon and stocked with the 100 books every Perfect Mother should read before 30, I decided to make Sister's Valentine's Day Box.  

Now I know there are so many ideas and instructions online, but I think it is my responsibility, as a new Perfect Mother, to share my plans for the Perfect Valentine's Day Box.  This is a craft that you and your little sweetheart can do to create those special memories that will last for years to come.

And look!  Only 5 easy steps!  Unless you aspire to Fancy, then there are 6.

1) Dig a box out of the recycling bin. 
Is that dried yogurt? No smell. We're good. Yes, I heard you. You want a Frozen box.

2) Cover it with wrapping paper. 
It's not ONLY Christmas paper. It's Valentine's Day paper, too.  It's red, like Valentine's Day hearts.  The snowflakes? Valentine's Day is in the winter.  Valentine's Day paper. Frozen?  I don't have any blue paper.

3) Use obscene amounts of tape to repair the rips in this $1 roll paper. 
I know it's not Frozen, but you can pretend the extra tape is ice.

4) Decide AFTER it is wrapped that you need a hole in the top.  
I know it's crooked, but lots of things are crooked, even in Arendelle.

5) Let child write their name on the box with half dried-out marker. 
No, write YOUR name.  YOUR name is not Elsa.

Bonus Step for you 'Fancy' Perfect Mothers:
6) Peel Valentine's sticker from the doctor's office off of child's coat and slap it on the box.  
Oh look!  The fuzz on the sticker from your coat looks like the fur from Ana's cloak.

There you go, Perfect Mother! Try not to look too smug at the classroom party.
