Valentine's table for two. Hold the whining.

Valentine's table for two. Hold the whining.

During these days of expensive childcare and daytime exhaustion, I'd imagine that for many of us, a romantic Valentine's Date means putting the kids to bed and praying they stay there while you sit down to a romantic dinner in the dining room. Fondue perhaps?
I thought this Valentine's Card from Cocodot was kind of a cool thing--send it to your love digitally or the ye olde fashioned snail mail way, and make a stay-at-home date for the 14th. Then put on something lacy under your clothes, grab some bubbly and you're ready to go.

Romance is still alive. It's just hoping the kids don't wake up and ask for water. -Liz
