Do you participate in the weird, self-perpetuating, down-the-rabbit-hole annual holiday ritual of parents - OK, fine, mothers, primarily - who have little ones in daycare, and thus have kids that are instructed in the ways of Valentine’s Day before they can even crawl?
Today is Valentine's Day, as I'm sure most of us know. (If you're the clueless guy who's missed all the ads, all the pink and red decorations in stores, and all the hints from your better half, you'd better run and try to save yourself!) If you're in a relationship ...
The new dinnerFeed web site is a lean, mean fighting machine! Happy Valentine's Day! This past weekend a group of girlfriends and I got together in a Valentine's Day warm-up celebrating friendship. We made four dishes, two cooks per dish, then sat down to a marvelous Thai dinner.
The new dinnerFeed web site is a lean, mean fighting machine! Love is expansive, and chocolate is dark; serving chocolate-strawberries, will surely melt a heart. Yep. It's that time of year again, when my cornball soul can pen a silly verse without apology, when I can send construction paper hearts ...
Valentine’s Day can be stressful to new and old relationships, but I’m here to offer a secret advantage. It’s not roses - boring! It’s not a romantic dinner destination - who wants to engage in intimate times after a full meal? And it’s not crafting something special for the one ...

Married for 27 years, Judy Maynard and her husband Mike know that marriage is not always chocolate and roses. Taking a page from experience, they're on a mission to use what they've learned to help others reconnect and strengthen their relationships — and sometimes that takes a good date night. ...
At our house, Valentine's Day can be a feast-or-famine holiday. The "feasts" range from an all-night, chocolate-laden celebration built for two to a family-wide endeavor to find just the right expression of sentiment. The famine? "Oh. Right." (Insert self-inflicted head-smack here after coming home exceptionally late from work.) "It's today!" ...
From kidneys to condoms to free bus rides to serial killers to Woody Hayes, here's just a thin slice of Valentine's Day in Ann Arbor history. 1996. Surgeons in Ann Arbor and Palo Alto did kidney transplants on Valentine's Day; in each case, the husband received the donation of a ...
From time to time, I wax nostalgic about my days at Bethany College of Missions in southern Minnesota. For two years after graduating from college, I lived in a small house on campus with four other women, and worked as a copy editor. Professionally speaking, these were critical years. And yet privately ...
Red roses… Pink and purple paper hearts…. White lace… and a splash of green? A chromatic clash, to be sure. But with all the Valentine-related paper going into landfills year after year, maybe it’s time to send a green message to Mother Earth.
Christmas and New Year’s have passed, but having fun and spending time with your family doesn’t have to end. Valentine’s Day does not have to be solely reserved for couples or sweethearts.
