Valentines Day
Valentines Day is fast approaching. Valentine’s Day is traditionally thought of as for couples, but I think a lot of parents celebrate it with their kids as well. February 14th is a date marked by red roses, chocolate hearts, and lots of love in the air. Why not share that same love with family, friends, even your children. Everyone should partake in this loving holiday. Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. If ever in doubt of what to get walk into your nearest Hallmark store. It has a special gift for every type of person. Valentines day is a day where we appreciate the loved ones we have in our life. The best way to spread Valentines Cheer is to send a text message to show your love to those who are close to you. This thoughtful reminder will let the people who are close to you know that you are thinking of them on this special day. Mark your calendars because Valentines Day is here to stay. Hopefully cupid sends you an arrow of love. Spread love the Valentines way.
