What Valentine’s Day Means to You:

Actually, not that much…I think every day is a perfect day to celebrate love! But of course,

it’s a day to be reminded and give some extra love to someone you keep close. That could be

your partner, your parents, your friend, or a colleague. Just a day to be extra kind and

spread love!

Your Go-To Date Night:

Stay at home dates are the best ones! Cook some good food, drink some red wine, talk, and maybe watch a movie together. We love being home!

You and Your Husband’s Love Language:

I think both of us like to do small things for each other, every day. Serve the other one

coffee in bed, buy the other one’s favorite candy when grocery shopping, or giving a

helping hand to the other when needed. For me that’s love—when you think of others in

the small things in life.
