If you haven't figured it out by now, I love traditions! When i was a little girl i remember waking op on valentines day morning and there would be a card under my door from my step dad. I felt so special and so loved!He always would make an effort to make me feel loved and special. When Matt and I got married i dreamed about having a little girl and how much she was going to be loved by her Daddy. I knew he would do fun things like that with her and bring her on dates. Well now that we have children and all are boys, I've had to be the one to make the day special. Yes valentines day is just a "hallmark" holiday but it's a great excuse to celebrate the love that our family has. After all... February is the month that Matt and i started dating and our first date was on valentines day 8 years ago. February is certainly the month of love for me!
So I'm trying to think of special things that i can do for my boys this valentines day. I'm thinking that I'm going to make them each special valentines day cards and a lunch date out with me. I want my boys to cherish each other and learn that it's important to show others that you love them. They can't do that until they have been shown love. I can't expect them to do nice things for others, or encourage others unless i myself am doing it... especially for them.
How do you feel about Valentines day? Are you going to do anything special for your spouse/loved one/ children?

I love your new blog background. And that picture of your tables is gorgeous.
Valentines Day is one of my favourite holidays too.
Great ideas.:)
Ps. I met with a social worker for families with disabilities and I actually get 20 hours of respite to spend time with my other members of my family ( paid for) because it is just a fact that special needs takes more energy and the others have to make sacrifices for that- The FSCD values the family so they want to support that- I almost cried with relief. Best thing I have done so far. She also mentioned the gluten free diet and that she has seen it work to minimize effects over and over again ( next year they may provide funds to help with that cost too.) I would love for you to send me more info eventually:)
Thanks!
