Valen-Times

It's About Time! Creatively Prepare a Special Memory for your Valentines

*Compose a list “101 Reasons Why You are the Greatest” Write each one on a separate piece of paper and wrap them in a nicely decorated box.

* Plan a kid-less, romantic evening. Team up with a friend and swap nights. Fix your Valentine his/her favorite dinner, soft candlelight, and romantic music. Be dressed up as if you were going out on the town... enjoy a nice quiet evening together. Reminisce about what you love most about each other.

*Buy your spouse eleven real red roses and one artificial red rose. Place the artificial rose in the center of the bouquet. Attach a card that says: “I will love you until the last rose fades.”

*Handwritten, Handcrafted Love; It’s not just for kids! Make a card, write a letter (or compose a poem). Think Time, not Money for gifts, as Time is Priceless – and so much more valued by the recipient.

For the Kids: Cut out hearts to make those fun "heart people" (with the accordion folded arms and legs) and hang them in your windows.
