I started homeschooling one of my children just a couple weeks ago (taking a bite of the elephant at one time- this is also the reason I haven't been posting as often), so I'm looking forward to making some adorable things with her for Valentines' Day- and not having the normal glut of candy (hurray!)
My mom wasn't much for celebrating many things- but we always woke up Valentine morning to find a giant (to us kids) cookie with a pretty border and our name written in flourishes of pink frosting.
Below are some of the ideas I love for this year, some are mine and some are from other sites. There's also this post for more ideas, including how to make heart-shaped muffins with a regular muffin tin, some liners, and several marbles.
