Taking a Low-Keyed Approach Valentine's Day

Pinterest, you've outdone yourself this Valentine's Day.  You've revealed amazing crafts and snack ideas, and I appreciate that.  But this Valentine's Day, I've taken a step back.  We might bake a batch of cookies tonight, but then again, we might not.  We might create some pipe-cleaner heart garland, but then again, we might just pile onto the couch -- these three coughing, sniffing kids of mine and me -- and quietly read some books.

That shows love, too.

No matter how we celebrate (and I hope it involves some chocolate, regardless), let's make today a day when we simply love on our kids all the more.
