    My husband are I are going to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens for their Orchid nights. This was were we went on our first valentines day together 5 years ago. We have not really celebrated valentines day since then. I am excited, for some romance.

    I bought my children some candy roses just to say I love you to give to them upon picking them up from school

    Probably not too much this year we always go on a overnight trip,but I just lost my dad a few days ago so I don't think we will do any thing.

    Last year my boyfriend and I got a limo for the evening and went out on a dinner cruise in DC. I got my hair and nails done earlier in the day. We stayed in a jacuzzi suite in a nice hotel. This year, we are staying home and cooking at the house, popping open some bubbly, and just hanging out. Money is so tight right now!

    my husband's love language is quality time, so i'm planning to keep my weekend as free as possible of other obligations so we can just be together...going for a hike, shopping at cabelas, or planning a board game together.
