Oh, the fun that Valentine's week can be. From shopping for the special Valentine, help decorating the shoe box for the kids to take to school for their class party, to the fun heart shaped decorating and baking that happens at home. I remember the fun I would have to come home from school with my shoebox brim full of Valentines and special treats from my friends from school. Me and my brothers and sister would sit and go through each Valentine and read who they were from and what special treats came with them. The room moms would always make the day so special by a heart cookie decorating party along with punch, a craft, and a couple of fun games. Oh, the fun memories!

Although love can be shown every day of the year, February 14th signifies a day to show those that you love how much they mean to you. I hope that you and your loved one have a day filled with whatever you choose to do.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Enjoy your week and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

"Unconditional love is loving your kids for who they are, not for what they do… it isn’t something you will achieve every minute of every day. But it is the thought we must hold in our hearts every day."
-Stephanie Marston

“We do not develop habits of genuine love automatically. We learn by watching effective role models – most specifically by observing how our parents express love for each other day in and day out.”
