My Mom is the sweetest person I know! We grew up getting gifts from her in every occasion. They weren’t expensive gifts but they were priceless. She also instilled in us that gifts you’ve personally made an effort to create are more precious than store-bought ones. So, every occasion was preceded by an art class. She’d take out crayons, paint, paper and other craft supplies and my sisters and I would each create our masterpieces.
As I am my Mom’s biggest fan and would like to raise my children the same way she raised us, this practice of gift-giving I definitely would pass to my toddlers.
And so, a few days before VDay, my toddlers and I got busy working on our cards and other masterpieces.
There was no full-course meal in a fancy restaurant. No romantic table setting nor romantic mood at that. There wasn’t even a fairly decent dinner (I really botched the meal I cooked!!!). But we were all together on the day of hearts…and what could be more important than that!
100% agree – nothing is more important than being with the family. 😉
