5 Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day with Family

As Valentine's Day nears, it is important to address an important belief about that day.

Despite popular culture making people believe that Valentine’s Day is only for couples, that day isn't only for couples.

So why don't you make this day special by celebrating it with all your loved ones?

Breakfast:

Surprise your family with heart-shaped pancakes, sunny-side up, or sandwiches made with heart-shaped cutters.

Love notes:

Leave notes of love and gratitude at interesting spots around the house or inside objects such as the newspaper, inside a book, or a jacket.

Different routine:

Alter your routine by going outdoors or preparing a movie and a snack that can be eaten while watching the movie.

Express gratitude:

Cook a special and gather all the family to eat together. Pick out some extra valentines, like doing house help, or give them small gifts of appreciation.

Self-appreciation:

See yourself exactly the way you are and value yourself. Show yourself compassion and gratitude, and treat yourself with the same type of kind, caring support, and understanding that you would show ours.
