Once upon a time you hated Valentine’s Day. All the red, the roses, the chocolate,
the restaurant reservations.
The maribou handcuffs.
It was ridiculous.
Then you met the one, and it all changed. You couldn’t wait for the big day. Instead of envying or scorning the
couples eating those overpriced prix fixe meals at restaurants, you wisely and
naughtily planned evenings in.
But once the kids came, it turned into something else
altogether. A day where you felt reminded that you should have a relationship worthy of a Nicholas Sparks novel,
while making the kids feel special and stuffing them with candy.
It can be so hard to keep the heat in Valentine’s Day, don't you think? Take our quiz and see if you and your

Cute quiz. My husband and I hardly see each other on Valentine's Day. He's a musician and that's a big working day for him.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lovelyn! Hope you get a Valentine's rain check. Or maybe you don't need one with the other 364 days of your year? :-)
DeleteI *think* I pass the test. But, on a regular day basis - not exclusive to Valentine's Day. We don't really do Valentine's Day. Especially when it falls on a Thursday with 2 kids and 1500 miles from Grandparent babysitters.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl- seems like you don't need a Valentine's Day! For the rest of us, it's like the New Year's of romance...
DeleteWe're slow burners over here. We even had a friend offer to watch the kids tonight so we could go out, but we're taking a rain check for next week, when all the young lovers are working late to pay off the overpriced roses they bought today.
ReplyDeleteGreat quiz! I think we're somewhere between slow burn and wet blanket/match. Some days it feels like a blow torch couldn't get things started. And other days it feels like we get back in our groove. Still, a vacation for just the two of us wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks for the V-day laughs!
