Special moments and holidays don't have to hit you over the head. Sometimes they can be small additions to your everyday routines that can cause a smile or a touch of special-ness to your average Tuesday. This year we're not focused on a dish to make someone fall in love, but we have melted over these marvelous milk hearts.
Valentine's Day can be full of expenditures. Sure all it really requires is a few extra hugs and kisses, but if you like food as much as we do there are usually wonderful meals, special sweets and even a night out on the town. To keep things more surprising (and thrifty) we're loving these special heart ice cubes made from milk.
They've been colored and can be popped into a steamy cup of hot chocolate, your morning cup of coffee, or even on top of a warm bowl of oatmeal. They might not be the over the top theatrics that some Valentine's Days involve, but sometimes all you need is a little love and something inexpensive to remind you of the lovely things in life.

this is cute but would be afraid that my youngest would think its candy and huge mess, and maybe choking I think my older kid would try and take that out too
Bluepuppybites - Maybe your kids can help you make them so they know they aren't candy?
Actually, I think they ARE *over the top theatirics* and awesome ones at that.
'theatrics' (in case the grammar police are watching)
Oh the CUTENESS! Cutie cute cute! And just as I was thinking, where would anyone find heart ice molds, I saw that they were from Ikea. OF COURSE. This picture just made me all happy inside!
I love this idea! I was into the frozen whipped cream hearts for hot cocoa...but frozen/colored milk hearts are perfect for anyone who doesn't like too sweet of an additive in their drink. So creative and fun! I am definitely going to attempt this ;)
I wonder if they would work as frozen strawberry (or really, any red berry) puree? My little one loves strawberry milk!
