Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day
I think that Valentine’s Day does not need to be just another modern-day materialist holiday. Instead my thoughts are that this is the perfect opportunity to show the ones we love how we love them every single day of the year.
Valentine’s Day is usually thought of as a romantic holiday to celebrate the one we love. But we love our kid’s too, right? Of course! So why not celebrate with some whole family Valentine’s Day ideas? Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to start some new family friendly celebration traditions. These ideas will get you started and maybe inspire some family Valentines Day ideas of your own. Valentine’s Day could be a holiday where you spend time with your whole family and teach your children about the importance of caring for others. You can celebrate the holiday simply by telling your child “I love you” or trying out some of the ideas below.
Make It Special: Valentine’s Day At Home
Have a pizza party
everyone chooses a favorite pizza and toppings.
Host a Game Night
Make it an evening of family fun with game night. Unplug from technology and choose from classic board games like monopoly, jinga or twister.
Relax With Movie Night
Cozy up on the couch with the family for a relaxing movie night at home. You can’t go wrong with classics like Lady and the Tramp, Beauty and the Beast, or The Princess Bride. Just make sure there’s plenty of popcorn on hand.
Life is very full-on with a family. You are tired and demands are made of you every waking moment. So the thing that may fall off your to-do list is making time for romance. Many of us may consider Valentine’s Day as one more thing to think about in an already packed schedule.
if you are in a similar situation, plan something for after bedtime or during nap time!
To me, love isn't about candy and bears and jewelry. That stuff is nice, but I think that there are better ways to show how much you care about someone than just buying love themed things.
I am going to treat Feb. 14 just as I treat any other day and continue to show the people I love how much I love them every day. I hope that I’ve provided you with useful insights that you might not have thought of before this. So, go enjoy your Valentine’s Day with not just your loved “one”, but loved ones!
