Three Things + 1 : Lots of Love (and giveaways)

Holidays are always about the little people in my life... my nieces/nephews, godchildren and friends' kids. I make cards and send them with candy and write them notes about specific reasons why I love them to pieces. I want to be that person in their lives that they know will always love them without condition so they have know they have a safe place to fall.

sweet treats + a special dinner on valentine plates.

some years we have taken our little girls out for a nice meal, other years we stay home. this may be a stay-home year, and i think we'll work on a special dessert.

Bessides making heart shaped cut outs, I don't really do much for the kids. Valentines Day is all about the hubby and me. Usually just dinner out alone.

These products are so cute.
My hubby and I like to just spend a quiet evening at home with some take out and a good movie.

We celebrate Valentine's Day by jotting down in our planners something that each of us (my husband, son and I) loves to do with one another. Then, that becomes our Valentine's Day gift to each other.

My Hubby and I celebrate the day we met Feb. 7 1989. so for the week leading upto V-Day, we have mini dates. We try and do new and fun things, with out spending a lot of money. We focus on spending time together. We also make each other fun or quirky gifts.This year we will have been dating for 20 years. I am planning a good surprise. He sometimes hangs out with me in my craftroom, so I can't say. In case he's reading this, love Ya!

We make valentines for all my children's classmates. They love doing that!

my first born of four girls birthday is valentines day.
she was due on february 28th but i told everyone i'd have her on valentines...no one believed me as first borns rarely come early.
my water broke 11pm on 2/12---labored all through the 13th--was about to csection me and she was born at 12:33 am on 2/14--my valentines girl, just like i promised
xo
this year she turns 16!
blink of an eye i tell ya

As soon as I put away our Christmas decordations, I pull out all of my Valentine's stuff and full the house with hearts and candy. On Valentine's Day I write a list of the 10 Things I love about my husband, son, and daughter and tuck them into their respective lunch boxes. We have heart shaped pancakes and sandwiches, and of course, lots of chocolate. In the evening my husband and I go out to dinner and toast another happy year together.

I've already started my preparations. I leave loves notes all over the place for my husband. I hide them in books, on the milk, in his shoes... sometimes it is months before he has found them all because I try to hide them really well.

Our wedding anniversary is a few days before Valentines day, so we combine both and usually buy each other little gifts and go out for dinner somewhere special!

Heart shaped pancakes for my lil man and making a sweet dessert together to share after dinner!

I dont have a boyfriend at the moment, so this year I am going ot make valentines for my family and friends. Thought it would be a nice time to spread a little love =0)
Thanks for the contest!

Well my four Children are grown three are parents them selfs, I always make sugar cookies and make small gifts for them all and my grandchildren and they come over after dinner... I LOVE This Day

Because Valentine's Day falls in the midst of my "busy season" (aka tax season - I'm an accountant) it's hard to do much celebrating. My husband and I have started a tradition of getting one of those cute heart-shaped pizzas from Papa Murphy's Take N Bake and just enjoy the evening by watching some tv together. We also take a special trip to Wal-Mart or Hallmark to pick up the perfect musical card for eachother. Love those things!

i LOVE That you posted something about ClickinMoms!!!!
i am a clickinmom and LOVE the site. everyone is soooo helpful.
thank you so much for giving us some love!

We celebrate by exchanging cards and Russell Stover's chocolates. I usually give my kids some other small gift, too, to let them know they're special. Absolutely love the "My Dear" line - will need to check into it!

my little guy is four, and we are always trying to 'out love' each other. so i'm thinking this year i will make a pretty paper chain, a huge one, to decorate with. and tell him each link is how much i love him. and i'll hang it all through his room on the 13th so he sees it when he gets up. and maybe some cupcakes for valentine's breakfast.

we make cards to each other, and also bring some roses (deep red) home.
