ideas for your valentines day.

love week has begun.  you have probably already checked Pinterest for date or gift ideas.  there are plenty to choose from.

let me add just a few inexpensive ideas:

* candy bar poster

* top 10 reasons you are MY valentine

* heart attack on steering wheel or anywhere

* mail a card/letter to the office

* make an invitation to a pamper session: foot rub, back rub, hot bath with candles

date ideas:

* chic flick- an oldie but a goodie

* dinner by candle light

* dance at home

* make a treat together

* play a game together

does this sound lame or like a waste of time?

here is my opinion.  this stuff is not a waste of time, IF you are doing it for the right reasons.

please take this day/week to be intentional and show your love for your spouse!

some people say it's lame, it's over marketed....blah, blah, blah.  so what?  this is a day- an excuse to do something out of the ordinary and sweet.  do something.

be appreciative and be specific. watch your love while they are doing anything and appreciate them.  think of the good, look for it, and then say something about it to them.
enjoy spending some quality time together this week.  do what you can.
let your children see you leaving love notes and kissing for longer than normal...let them see intentional loving.
think about what they would like and if you're totally at a loss, ask them...just ask before Sunday okay? ;)

happy valentines week!
