Step One
For your kids–Do what you can to make this day special, especially if it falls on a weekday. Cut out red hearts out of construction paper and cover your child’s door with it, creating a “Heart Attack.” Or, leave clues on the paper hearts for a scavenger hunt around the house, ending up in the kitchen for pink pancakes for breakfast. Tuck a handmade Valentine in their backpack or lunch to discover at school. Give your kids an “I Love You” coupon book with cool trade-ins for a “Get out of chores free” card or a “Stay up 1/2 hour later” coupon.
Step Two
For your kids’ classroom party–The dollar store is a wonderful place to purchase holiday-related items. Rather than pick up a pack of plain old paper punch-out Valentines, try something different. Buy a few packs of themed pencils or erasers (usually sold in packs of 8 or 12) to pass out.

As Valentines Day slowly approaches, couples are eagerly waiting for it but singles are dreading the day. Valentine’s Day is a day that commemorates love.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
The following are some ideas on how to spend the day if you are single:
Step One
Give thanks for your former boyfriends or girlfriends. These people are the ones that made you who you are now, but don’t feel tempted to call them, they are not worth it, there is a reason why they are your exes.
Step Two
Celebrate love in your life. Enjoy time spent with your loved ones and celebrate with your family and friends. Send Valentine’s Day e-cards and postal cards to people you care about and spread some love and joy. Express your caring and love by remembering them at Valentine’s Day. You may wish to contact someone you haven’t talked to in a long time.
Step Three
Flirt. Yes flirt. Flirt with strangers or acquaintances; it will make you feel sexier.
