14 Days of Valentines

For this year, I decided to have 14 days of Valentines, similar to the 12 days of Christmas.

Each day I gave my wife a greeting card and each day had a theme.  Some days were fun, some were romantic, and some were just downright sexy.  Some included gifts others were simply poems I copies or lyrics to an appropriate song for that day's theme.

Each day, I lit a pink candle in the kitchen when the card for that day was waiting for her.  (I put the candle in a large vase filled with Valentines Day heart candies with the little messages.)  Some were waiting for her when she woke in the morning...some needed to wait until the kids were asleep ;)

I am hoping that she will remember Valentines as a season, and not just a day.

A reader says ... Neat ideas.

A reader says ... This is amazing!  I've done this same thing the last 2 years for my wife!  I call it "the 12 days of valentines", and start 12 days out.  I buy her a little gift for each day, and most days a card accompanies it.  When you have software that lets you make your own cards, you can get kinda risque with them!  (take a digital close-up picture of yourself wearing some sexy underwear, showing your bulge, and paste in into the inside of the card, with a sexy note)  She quickly shredded them so the kids wouldn't see them, but they surprised her and caught her attn!  I like the "theme" idea too.  Thanks!
