Valentine's Day is a celebration for all ages; however, after the parties at school, most children have had more than their fair share of chocolate and sugar. There really is no need for a dessert to end their day. Perhaps a little warm milk to soothe them after the excitement of treats and cards is a better idea.
However, for the adults, a sweet treat can be the perfect way to complete a candlelit dinner. Whether you choose to make a gourmet dinner or order pizza, this dessert will be a beautiful final course. Easy to make but also beautiful,

Valentine’s Party Ideas for Kids
by T Akery January 30th, 2012 | Valentine's Day
While Valentine's Day is made for couples, kids can have a lot of fun with their own party. It isn't hard to create a Valentine's themed party for kids, because there are many different items geared toward Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day is one of those holidays where candy and creativity can be combined to create a party full of fun for kids.

To most of us, the gift of flowers means either "congratulations," "sorry," "thinking of you," or "I love you" (or at least, at this time of year, "Be my valentine"). But traditionally, each kind of flower had a specific meaning, and every bouquet sent a message.
These meanings have faded away over time -- mostly. I remember when American servicemembers in Germany were warned not to give red roses as a hostess gift, because they symbolized passion, and a Peanuts strip where Lucy told Schroeder what it would mean if he gave her various roses. "What about no rose at

Snow Painting
by Michele February 11th, 2010 | Craft, Valentine's Day
With all of the snow that has covered the east coast, it seems most appropriate to share a fun outdoor craft- snow painting!
