14 Ways to Celebrate Valentine's Day with Friends and Family

  1. Secret Valentine's Day Santa:  Get some friends together, set a price range, and let the fun begin!  Picking out gifts for other people is always fun, especially friends, and receiving gifts is nice too (I like seeing what people pick out for me!)  Pick a theme, for example only buy candy or red and pink items.
  2. Dessert Dinner Party:  Throw a party serving only desserts, since it is Valentine's Day.  Everyone can bring their favorite sweet item, and maybe a savory one too.  
  3. Attend a Cooking Class:  With a little research there are all kinds of cooking/baking classes going on.  From learning how to make a three course meal to being taught how to decorate a cupcake there are options out there for everyone.  And this isn't just a couples thing.  Cooking/baking with friends can be super fun too!
  4. Pottery Painting:  Get artsy by going to a local ceramics or painting class.  Maybe even host your own painting party with cute snacks and fun drinks.
  5. Spa Date:  A lot of spas offer all kinds of Valentine's Day deals, but who says they have to be only for couples?  A spa day with friends can be just as good, maybe even better.
  6. Take a Scrapbooking or Card Making Class:  Craft stores such as Michael's usually always offer all kinds of classes, and with a holiday such as Valentine's Day there will definitely be a lot of heart themed crafts to be made.
  7. Work Out Class:  Head to a fitness class with some friends!  Yoga, zumba, kick boxing, or pilates are all super great classes to take or just to try out.  Maybe even try bikram yoga if you're feeling adventurous.
  8. Movies:  The most common Valentine's Day date, seeing a movie.  Whether you're seeing a new release or you're cuddling up to Netflix it's always a nice way to spend a night, especially with friends.
  9. Dog Date:  Take your furry friend to a park and have a nice head-clearing walk in fresh air.  Invite friends and get your heart rate up by gossiping!
  10. See a Show:  Whether it's a Broadway musical or a community theater play, getting out of the house to see a performance can be really amazing, or really quite hysterical.  Either way it'll be a memory and something to definitely talk about afterwards.
  11. Fun Run:  Popping up everywhere are 5K Valentine's Day themed runs.  Get out and discover a new workout or even hobby.
  12. Game Night:  Invite some friends over and play some classic games such as Pictionary, Clue, or Jenja.  But don't forget the snacks!
  13. Visit the Aquarium or a Museum:  Going to an aquarium or a museum during the off season, February, gives you the best deals and the best views.
  14. Have a Themed Dinner:  Invite friends and family over for themed dinner.  Get creative and have only heart shaped food or only bite-sized food!

Peanut Butter Apple Dip

Okay I eat this multiple times a week because it's literally so good!  I use Justin's Peanut Butter (vanilla or honey or whatever flavor you want, I've even tried almond butter which works great too), organic Stonyfield plain yogurt, and just a touch of honey!  Than I mix it all up and dip apples in it, and sometimes eat it just with a spoon because that's how good it is.  It's simple, healthy, and taste great!  Literally my go to snack whenever I'm home. I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, the cliche trying to 'get healthier' and be healthier.  I'm not looking so much for weight loss, even though that's an added plus, but what I really want is to finally tone up.  My entire life I've always killed myself with cardio and would wonder why I never looked that great.  Well now I know why, so that's my goal, get healthier and leaner.

Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Nautical Themed Cupcakes

Nothing fancy, but this was a last minute request for the not for profit I volunteer for, Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Middlesex County, Connecticut .  I got this request from a girl's mom who said her daughter wanted a white cake with blue frosting and something nautical themed.  I only had four days, but I think they came out kind of cute. I got almost all my supplies off Amazon Prime.  Everything but the ingredients for the cake and frosting, but Amazon Prime saved me so much time and money and stress because all I had to do was go to my local grocery store instead of also going out of my way looking for craft store supplies, which probably would have left me checking multiple stores, while Amazon had everything in one place with free two day shipping. Anyway, I delivered the cupcakes this morning and the mother who sent in the request was so nice and extremely grateful.  She sent me the sweetest email I just had to screenshot it.  Hope everyone is hav...
