How is it already time to start planning for Valentine’s Day? Is it me or does it feel like we just celebrated Christmas and the New Year? Even though Valentine’s Day is a more informal holiday, I still enjoy planning different things throughout the day to make it a special time for my family. However, I try to keep the spending under control since we are coming off the heels of Christmas. Instead of only focusing on gift giving, I also plan activities that will be fun for the kids.
Below, I have listed some of my favorite activities (which are also linked on my Pinterest Page under Valentine’s day) that I have done in years past and turned out to be a big hit with my family. I have also included some small gift ideas for my hubby, kids and even myself! Happy Valentine’s Day!
