A week ago, we celebrated Valentine's Day. Growing up, my family started a tradition that stemmed from school valentine mailbags made from paper grocery sacks. We decorated our mailbags for home and crafted valentines for each family member, and then waited in anticipation for our own homemade Valentine's party after dinner. We decorated, had sweets, and read our valentines aloud one by one. I'm so glad my husband, even if he had no such family tradition, jumped right on board with mine for our little family. He made time to come home from work with flowers, sweet surprises and handwritten notes, and I just made sure to make a nourishing meal unspoiled by the wait. What better time than Valentine's to make a family tradition of saying, "I love you."
