When we became parents, couples almost no longer remember what it was to celebrate a Valentine's Day. The plans may be different from those we did alone, but that is why we will not let this date pass to celebrate the love for our partner and for our children, who have a lot to do with our history.
We can add the children to the celebration and make a family plan. So we will give you some ideas to celebrate a special Valentine, even with children.
Romantic family dinner
Enjoying a good dinner and the company of the couple is a classic to celebrate this date. There are those who can leave the children in the care of other people while you go out, but if not, you can also prepare a special dinner at home for the whole family.
You can start by cooking a special dinner among all, also involving the kids in the preparation. You can also decorate with candles, flowers and play background music, children will find it a fun plan.
Once the children go to sleep you extend the table with your partner, since it is also important to create spaces of intimacy between them.
If it's not dinner, lunch
If you think it will not be possible to organize a special dinner, you can also have family lunch if children don't go to school, and then enjoy a walk.
If they go, you can organize to match alone. During the day you can also have a romantic encounter to speak alone, without interruptions.
Small details
Children can participate in the celebration of Valentine's Day by making their own crafts, such as these heart-shaped stamps, cardboard hearts to decorate the house, Valentine's cards to place on the table, or prepare notes to place leave underneath the mom and dad pillow.
One idea that I have done with my daughters for a birthday and that children love is to make a post-it path with messages, as if it were a search for the treasure of love (how cheesy it sounds, right?, but it's fun).
In turn, you can leave a surprise to the children under the plate or the pillow, or a post-it stuck in the mirror, any detail is nice to express how much we love them.
Other plans
There are many leisure alternatives to celebrate a special Valentine, even with children. Some restaurants and hotels offer dinner and accommodation for families with special details for Valentine's Day.
Some parks such as Faunia and the Madrid Cable Car also organize a special dinner on February 14, in case you feel like celebrating it in a different environment.
And an ideal family plan would be a family weekend getaway Where to be calm and enjoy nature.
Certainly, when the children arrive, Valentine's celebrations are not what they were when we were only two, but they can also be wonderful. Now we also share them with other loves that complete our life day by day.
