Things To Do For Your Parents on Valentine's Day

In This Article:

February 14 is seen as a romantic date for you and your significant other, and that's how my parents took it. They got married on Valentine's Day as an ode to romance. This year marks their 10-year wedding anniversary and as their oldest daughter, I've tasked myself with giving them some great gifts.

Here are four things to do for your parents if you're struggling with ideas!

1. Make a reservation for two (for your parents!)

Candle-lit dinners are a staple for romance. Search for restaurants near your parents that they've never been before and set them on their way! And if you want to be extra nice, give them some cash for their dinner!

2. Take cute pictures of you and your siblings

One thing your parents love just as much as each other (if not, more) is you and your siblings! Grab your sisters and brothers for a cute photo shoot, have each kid write a note either on the frame or the pictures itself, wrap it up and give it to your parents!

3. Take some responsibility off their shoulders

Our parents do a lot for us, so this Valentine's Day give them a break! If they normally do the dishes, laundry or other household chores, grab your siblings to divide and conquer. If you can afford it, give them some gas or lunch money. Try to make their life just a little bit easier!

4. DIY a date night for your parents

Some parents are homebodies, but they can have just as wonderful night by staying in! One DIY indoor date could be dinner and a movie! Make them a delicious dinner with a nicely decorated table for dinner. Decorate your living room with lights, pillows, and blankets for comfort. Set popcorn, candy, and other movie snacks on the coffee table and fire up Netflix. This all makes for a cozy night in!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
