Call me silly – naïve and a slave to cultural money-making holidays but I LOVE VALENTINES DAY! I’m not crazy decorate my whole house in pink & red streamers and book a table at the most expensive restaurants. However, I do love the idea of doing something small and personalized for my hubby and have a special day.
Things get a little crazier when you have two kids, babysitters are hard to find on the day itself, but really, you can celebrate on any night. This year is going to be a little low-key, finances aren’t all that hot and my babysitters are dealing with their own issues, busy globetrotting, afraid to drive in the dark, etc. I’m thinking special night at home with a unique adult dinner menu (no chicken fingers here) with a delectable desert.
