I can’t believe it’s already January and Valentines day will be here before we know it. Below I’m sharing FREE VALENTINE’S DAY IDEAS to help you make sweet memories without spending a lot of money. You can choose to do one idea or several on the day or leading up to the big day. Remember our kids only want to spend time with us. Maybe your day will consist of doing one thing that you’re not able to do on a regular basis like playing a board game on the floor with a big bowl of popcorn!
