Valentines!

Oh boy the season that bring the holiday you either love or hate!

I personally love Valentines Day!  Yes, I think you should show the ones you love that you love them everyday and not just a given day of the year.  However in the whirl wind of life sometimes it is hard to always take out some extra special time for your spouse or your kids.  I think this day helps us to slow down and remember what God has given us and that we should cherish it.

Ephesians 4:2-3 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace
.
So the question is what do you do to make Valentines Day special in your home?

14 Love Notes

Each day starting today I will make a note and place it someplace that the love of my life will find.

This blog has some good ideas!

Since I want to make my kids feel special as well as my boyfriend I plan on having a big breakfast with the kids favorite foods.  

Color the eggs pink/red

Cut french toast into heart shapes

Make pink/red pancakes

Then for dinner the kids will have their dinner and be off to watch a movie and my boyfriend and I can have a dinner with just us.
