Valentine’s Day Meal Deal
February 10, 2011
If you plan to celebrate Valentine’s Day at home, Amanda over at A Few Short Cuts has a Valentine’s Day meal deal for you.
Since Valentine’s Day falls on a Monday this year we will likely celebrate at home. We have so much going on this weekend with my son’s birthday party that I am guessing that we probably will have to forego a night out and just have a nice family Valentine’s Day dinner
That works just fine for me and I will happily tuck away my entertainment funds for another splurge down the road…when the timing is better
