Kids Off The Couch - Please Be Our Valentine ♥


Please, pretty please, would you be willing to show us some love this Valentine's Day by filling out a survey? We can't promise chocolate or rainbows, but do vow to listen to everything you say and use your suggestions to do a better job for you in 2011. Don't you wish your significant other would promise as much!?

DIY VALENTINES: We've thrown a Valentine making party each year since the kids were in kindergarten and love how relaxed everyone becomes when cutting heart shapes with scissors and dreaming up silly love rhymes. Here's all you need to do: make a quick run to a craft store and stock up on scissors, paste, stickers, ribbon, glue and glitter. Pile supplies in the center of a big table (don't forget to cover the table with a cloth) and be sure to serve up something chocolate. You'll be surprised what gets discussed when the subject is love! Click here to read our Popcorn Adventurethat paired Cocteau's black and white classic Beauty and the Beast with a Valentine's Day party.

IF YOU LOVE THE MUPPETS: The Hammer is hosting a free screening of The Muppet Movie on Sunday (2/13) at 11:00 AM as part of their Family Flicks film series. Parking is $3 below the Museum. Head over to Yogurtland after the screening for a yummy treat.

IF YOU LOVE MUSIC: The 53rd Grammy Awards are taking place at Staples Center on Sunday night (2/13) and will air on CBS. With an incredible line up that includes Mick Jagger, Barbara Streisand, Bob Dylan and Dr. Dre parents can talk about some of their favorite artists -- and then, listen as the kids explain why they like Lady Gaga.

IF YOU LOVE FILM: The Aero Theater on Montana is hosting a fabulous film series this weekend called That Special Valentine's Day Weekend: Romancing the Screenwith romantic titles ranging from Casablanca to The Notebook.

IF YOU LOVE CHOCOLATE: Our favorite local candy man is Jonathan at Compartes Chocolatier. We have a weakness for the Sweet Sloops made in Maine at Harbor Sweets. And, one of our newest subscribers has a chocolate making company calledChocoveda. We haven't tried it yet, but sure want to!

IF YOU LOVE US: Don't forget to fill out the survey. It's only seven questions long and will be dropped into your in-box tomorrow!
