Hip Mom's Guide to Valentines' Day

Ok, hip moms, it's time to start thinking about Valentine's Day. We always think it's our husband's job to romance us. Maybe it's time for us to start sharing the love too. A good friend of mine gave me an idea one time that was really fun. She told me to get several red balloons and place a small note in each balloon saying something that I loved about my husband. Then I blew the balloons up and placed them all over the bedroom. I did it on Valentine's Day years ago and it was so much fun to watch my husband pop each balloon and read the note I had written to him. Believe me, men LOVE to be praised. Don't we all!

It's always nice to receive flowers and enjoy a meal out, but let's make this year's Valentine's Day extra special. Let's share ideas of how to make it "over the top". Also, don't forget to schedule babysitter's before they are all taken...
