Join us for a fun stepfamily day at Skateland in Chandler! Bring your stepkids or if it’s an “off” weekend, just come with your hubby/boyfriend/fiance.

We’re putting on a fundraiser to benefit Feed My Starving Children at Skateland in Chandler. Skateland has generously offered to donate 100% of the admission price from our group to Feed My Starving Children – Mesa. Our group will receive a reduced admission price of $3/per person for the event and the proceeds will go directly to Feed My Starving Children!

NOTE: You must mention East Valley Stepmoms when you pay in order to receive the reduced admission price. Other groups will be there, so it’s very important that you mention our group so that the money can be donated to Feed My Starving Children.

Please invite your friends and family members. This will be a great opportunity for all of us to get together and for our stepchildren/children to meet each other. If you don’t skate, you can always chat or play arcade games. 😉 See you there!

Get Crafty

I was first inspired by Crafty Chica because she sent some crafty stuff to me and 99 other people who filled out her Google form. (How cool is that?!) Her only request was for us to make something with the cute stuff that she sent, take a picture of our finished product, and share it!  So, here’s what I got in the mail…

craft stuff

…and I decided to make a Valentine’s Day card with it for an elderly person through the Love Letters campaign with DoSomething.org.

Valentine's Day card

As you’ll see on DoSomething.Org’s website, “15.5 million seniors live alone and face isolation due to location, disability, or language barriers.”  Sending a card might seem like an insignificant thing, but you never know how much one simple gesture can brighten someone’s day.  Sometimes all it takes is letting someone know that you’re thinking about them.

If you’d like some other ideas on how to spread the love on Valentine’s Day and participate in “Random Acts of Kindness” activities, this article has lots of great ideas!  Get your family to join in the fun with you!

Bake to Your Heart’s Delight

Next on my list was doing something special for my stepdaughter and my husband.  I decided to try making a heart-shaped layer cake with my stepdaughter because she loves to bake. (And, of course, both of us like to sample our baked goods!)  This was my first time making a layer cake, but she gave me some useful advice based on some cooking shows she had seen, so it turned out pretty well.

For my husband, I made my famous 3-ingredient peanut butter cups. (They are one of the only things that always turn out well for me. And my husband loves them!)

These are all part of the memories that we’re making this year for Valentine’s Day.  I’m sharing them with you because I’d like to know:

What are you going to do with your family this year for Valentine’s Day? What’s on your bucket list for Valentine’s Day? 

Traditions are important for any family, but they are especially important with a stepfamily because you’re bonding and forming a new family unit. These are the things that you’ll reminisce about next year or five years from now, so start making your Valentine’s Day Bucket List today!  What kind of memories will you make together?  Share your ideas or pictures below!
