I enjoy Valentine’s Day, especially now that I have kids. Who doesn’t love the excuse to tell their kids, spouse and other loved ones that they love them… just because?

I remember loving to hand out Valentine’s when I was in grade school, feeling angst about the day when I was a teenager and hating it for a few years there in college. I’ve come to a healthy place with it now and look forward to it next week.

I plan to get my kids something small. My husband and I are planning to go eat dinner and see a movie this weekend (mainly because our kids will all be overnight somewhere; less because it is Valentine’s weekend). I’d like to send a card or two out to family members from the kids.

When it comes to myself for Valentine’s Day, I’ll be thrilled to get a hug and “I love you.”
