There is one school party each year for which I make a homemade healthy treat: watermelon hearts.

I am no Pinterest mom. I work a full-time job and am primary caregiver to two children. When it comes to school parties I am usually the first one to sign up so that I can bring juice boxes. The juice boxes are conveniently stored for just the occasion so that I can simply move them from the basement to beside my daughter’s backpack and send them in with her. With one exception…  When my daughter was in kindergarten, before I had given up on being a crafty mom, I located some holiday cookie cutters. I have no idea where they came from as I am quite sure that I have never made cookies that required a roller and cookie cutters. But there they were, one with a cute heart shape. I do try to feed my kids healthy, and sometimes even succeed. So I thought “Perfect!”, I will make watermelon hearts with that heart shaped cookie cutter. It was easy, and worked! Now there is one school party each year for which I make this homemade healthy treat of watermelon hearts.

Valentine’s Watermelon Hearts

Liana Moore

Liana Moore is a third-culture kid with a hangover from those days that is a severe case of wanderlust. She is more comfortable driving the cliffs of Amalfi, Italy or the dirt roads of Costa Rica or attempting to decipher the street signs of Osaka, Japan than navigating the theme parks of Disney World. But she loves it all. She doesn't believe a vacation is complete without an adventure. Her husband and kids know well that "adventure" often is code for mishap or challenge and it usually results in a good story. They seek outdoor experiences whether in the mountains, on a beach or in the jungle of a tropical country. Her favorite vacation is... all the ones she hasn't yet taken, as well as those she plans on taking again. And, that list is so, so long. But she continues to extensively explore her home state of Colorado, spends lots of time wandering Texas, California, New Mexico, Costa Rica, Mexico, Norway and has even explored Kazakhstan.
