ECF - Ten Fun Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day

My most memorable Valentines Day ever was in elementary school.  I opened my lunchbox at snack time and instead of my lunch, I found it filled with heart shaped sugar cookies to share with my class.  I will never forget that.  It was epic!



It would be hard to top a lunchbox full of cookies but I can try with this list of fun things to do on Valentines Day.

1. Fondue - this is truly the first thing that popped into my head.  Mostly because I just love fondue but it is kind of perfect - shared chocolate. How romantic and fun!
2. See a good movie - it is Oscar season after all
3. Take a walk with someone you love - ideally on a beach at sunset but there are lots of great spots. Find one and get out there.
4. Get sweet gifts for those that you love - chocolate is a good start. Jewelry works too.
5. Send valentines - it sounds so juvenile... unless they're handmade.  Then they become something else entirely.
6. Take a luxurious bath - candles and wine and bubbles...oh yes!
7. Leave secret surprises for someone special. Make their day.
8. Watch your favorite old movie - Yes, there are some fabulous movies out right now (see #2) but some of the most romantic or fun love stories are in black and white. And it's more private too. 
9. Make a special dinner - if you're not having fondue that is.
10. If all else fails - knit. It would certainly make me happy.

Of course, if you're a kid then it means schools parties so above is a treat Stinkette made last night.  We've made it before but this time we included red, heart-shaped, sweet tarts.
