Dh will be out of town tomorrow night and DD has play practice until 6pm so no big plans over here. We don't usually do much to begin with but I haven't even bought the kids one piece of chocolate yet!  What are your plans for Valentine's Day? Found any fun gifts or yummy treats to give? |

I saw something on Pinterest that I tried this year. I cut out 14 hearts from construction paper, and wrote one thing I love about my DD on each. I've put one on her wall each morning. For tomorrow, I also have a large Hershey's kiss for her. DH is just getting a card because he doesn't care about holiday stuff. And that's OK.  |

In the UK Valentine's tend to focus on adults, we don't buy or do anything for children as a rule so I've brought DH some wine, his favourite sweets and a card which I'll give him tomorrow. We had a special meal at home on Saturday.

I'm going to make a red velvet cake for my family, and I'll get a few other treats for my girls. That's about it!

Oh, so romantic: our dryer died so my husband and I are buying a new one.
Don't be jealous.

We already did our Valentine's date night. We went to a "new hot restaurant" on Friday night and it was so worth it. The food was amazing!

We're going to a GS leader meeting - oh so romantic, lol
I've bought chocolates for DH and the girls (sent some to my son - the box arrived today - perfect timing) and I'll probably bake a chocolate cake
It's not a big deal holiday for us

We're having a special dinner at home. We thought about going out, but our favourite restaurant had a Valentines Special set price menu, no ala carte, which didn't appeal to us.
I've bought a rack of lamb, which I'll roast with loads of veggies, and some desserts from a bakery here that does the most gorgeous cakes and tarts.

Taking my kids to the optometrist. We have to go into the city. So I guess we'll grab some take out and come home. DH may be playing hockey Tuesday, not sure if he has a game. Just another day. No reason to spend $7 on a card and buy more junk we don't need.

Zip. Doing zip. This will be the 5th week in a row that DH is out of town in some way, shape or form.
I've mailed the out of town kids small Valentine boxes and we had a game night with the middle child last night. Games are her love language and DH's love language and as long as they can demolish me or each other at something, they are super happy. LOL

No real plans for tomorrow, we never go out to eat on Valentine's Day. But we are going to Darius Rucker tonight and I took tomorrow off. So I'll make a nice big breakfast for both of us |

Since I tested positive for type a flu on Friday and husband tested positive on Saturday, we are going to sit at home being sick together. Our daughter brought us groceries yesterday and included a gorgeous vase of a dozen yellow roses from him to give to me.  |

Working until about 7:30pm. Dh won't be home until about 9:30pm.

We declared a Casual Day at work and the other office staff and I are dressing in red/pink or whatever we want that will depict Valentines Day!
My daughter and her family moved in with us this weekend for about a month (or so) until their bathroom renovation gets finished. Heart shaped pancakes in the morning for breakfast and a handmade card. DH and I have massage appointments in the evening - I can't wait!

We don't really ever do anything for Valentines Day. It's basically just another day for us. If I have time, I will make DH a card. I was hopeful we would get to go out for dinner because our boys go to their grandparents house on Tuesdays for dinner, but they cancelled this week. I'm not surprised, it's Valentines Day, I'm sure they want to celebrate it without all of their grandchildren hanging out. Can't say I blame them.

Another UK-er so no plans for the kids as that would be considered weird. Me and DH are planning to go out later in the week for a date night. We have bought each other cards. But Valentine's is not a big deal in our house.

DH has been away on business. Cards, a new workout outfit for him, and working out together.  |

We always make dinner together at home and have chocolate covered strawberries for dessert. Pretty low key but perfect for us.

We generally don't do anything special. This year will be the same. DH has been receiving daily IV antibiotics for a toe infection so he isn't feeling well. His birthday is Thursday and he's having surgery to remove the toe. Fun times for him...Not!

It'll be another Tuesday here. I need to find the card I got DH. I told him not to bother with flowers but please, find some chocolates He used to order my favorite truffles from the Chocolate Garden in Coloma, MI but I can't have them any more. Turns out they use heavy cream and now even in the smallest amounts, heavy cream sends me to the bathroom  It sucks because I love them. So rich and creamy. I got some Skittles in those cheesy plastic heart shaped containers for the boys. It'll be tacos for dinner and then I have a band booster meeting. I could skip but I'm making pillows that will be a fundraiser and I think the director wants me to organize the open skate. I'll find out tomorrow. |
