How do you step up the romance in your relationship with your main squeeze? Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day and acknowledge the upcoming Hallmark holiday? Or do you turn the cheek and focus on celebrating your love for each other in other ways in the day-to-day? Perhaps you do both?
My husband and I have always loved Valentine’s Day, and as our family has grown, we love to find little ways to celebrate the love with our children too.
Feel the Love in Atlanta this Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day Words of Love:
- Cut out colorful hearts and tape on your children’s or partner’s bedroom doors the week of Valentine’s Day. Write a special compliment, love note, or something you love about them on each heart.
- Tuck a special note, sweet treat, or Valentine in your child’s backpack or lunch to surprise them during the school day.
- Personalize a book with your child’s name featured in it and read it to them at bedtime.
- Have a dance party during dinner or bedtime playing and singing only songs with the word love in them.
