Valentine’s Day: Unique Date Night Ideas to WOW your Sweetie!
Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, February 14, just six days from today! What are you doing for your sweetie on this special day? If you’re drawing a blank, how about stepping outside the candy/flower/dinner box and trying a new twist on some old classic Valentine’s Day celebrations?
For the Foodie Date: Buy the ingredients for heart shaped food and make it together. Heart shaped pizza is a classic, but how about heart-shaped cupcakes, pancakes & eggs, grilled cheese, homemade pretzels, a cheese platter (cut the cheese into heart shapes), rice krispie treats…and more. Check Pinterest for inspiration …
