Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? I sort of forgot it was happening! I knew it was looming but we don’t make a big deal of it here as we try and do little things for each other throughout the year.

I do like having fun with the kids on this holiday though. I don’t think that Valentine’s Day is exclusive to couples. Spending time with kids is perhaps the best way to spend this day! So we normally celebrate with them and then pack them off to bed so we can have a relaxing meal.
