Valentine’s Day
Wondering what else you can do to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your family or make it more special for your children. You can make it more then just a Hallmark holiday. Here are some ideas for some mid week Valentine’s fun for everyone:
-Wear all red or pink. Dress everyone in head to toe in the colors of love.
-Eat only red foods! Spaghetti and sauce, tomatoes, red velvet cake, apples, pomegranates, red peppers with dip, shirley temples and champagne with grenadine, etc
-Write love notes on napkins. Write little notes about how much you love your child or your spouse and send them off to school or work with them, or put them around the dinner table.
-Eat by candlelight. You can have a nice special dinner with your whole family not just your husband.
-Eat only finger foods. Tea sandwiches, crudite, mini quiche, shrimp cocktail or mini burgers. Melt some chocolate for dessert and have everyone dip in their favorite fruits like strawberries, pineapple or grapes, marshmallows, graham crackers or even their fingers in!
-Make rice krispie treats for your kids but use strawberry marshmallows instead of plain ones, so they will be pink!
-Give everyone Valentines tattoos.
