Create a simple happy morning surprise with heart shaped cinnamon rolls!
It’s Valentine’s Day. For our kids, rather than the typical heart shaped candy fare – we do a few sweet things for them as an extra reminder that we love them.
Yes, free rent should be enough – but kids. While usually I would go to the donut shop and pick up some sweets – our son who is recovering from strep said he wanted at home cinnamon rolls. What that means is good ol’ canned cinnamon rolls.
Easy Heart Cinnamon Rolls
We have made cinnamon rolls in the waffle maker – which the kids love, but with it being the holiday of love, decided to try something new… heart shaped cinnamon rolls.
How cute are these heart cinnamon rolls! Perfect for breakfast for anniversary, Valentine’s day or even just a cute way to start any day off with some fun.

Other ways we are celebrating LOVE is with a heart shaped pizza for dinner and a Nothing Bundt cake.
While Nothing Bundt Cake currently don’t make heart shaped bundt cakes – they do make a red velvet bundt cake that is absolutely to die for. I’d rather spend $22 on a red velvet Nothing Bundt cake than some crappy chocolate in a heart box!
