What's On This Weekend: Feb 10-12
Valentine's Day has always been a holiday that I could take or leave. The romantic stuff on a designated day is not for me. But with kids, it's an absolute riot of a lovefest and I can't get enough. We adorn every single surface with hearts, make cupcakes with pink frosting and celebrate friendships with handmade cards. Who couldn't get behind that?
