Hot Mess Mommy Express

It was a day or two after Christmas and my kids starting asking when "Valentimes" day is. Some people think it's weird that my littles anticipate such a thing, however it's one of my favorite family traditions. To my kids, it's a legitimate holiday and I'm okay with that!

As promised, I am going to share with you my most recent Disney Life Mom Hacks.
