How to make your Valentine's Day Unique!

It's that time of year again, time to show your love to the wonderful people in your life!  Sometimes it's hard to find that something special, or something unique.  I mean why do what everyone else is doing?  I like to do things differently.  I hide coupons in places where they will be seen by the recipient.  Could be a sweet note for your son or daughter saying  you will spend an evening doing what they choose.  Schedule a game day, or a special trip somewhere.  It's the little things that matter. 


At our home I usually put a sweet valentines table cloth on the table after everyone has gone to bed, then I arrange a box for each child of those sweet little valentine hearts boxes in their place with their name on the outside.  They have such fun reading all of the hearts before eating them and it will become a special memory for them. 

Sometimes we get too busy with life to do something special, but, make time to do just one little thing.  Create a tradition this holiday for them to remember.  Here are some ideas to get you started:

Have a snowball fight
Have a tea party
Have a day to create their very own valentines cards to give( they always love this)
Tell the story of your courtship
Create special place settings for each person
Make heart cookies
Bake a heart cake
Read about St. Valentine

Hope this gets your creative juices flowing!  Have a great Valentines Day!
