More than a Real Estate Mom - Triathlon, Fitness, and Life on 30A

I can not believe that tomorrow is Valentine's Day.  What I really can't believe is that BOTH of my kids filled out ALL their Valentine's Day cards a full day early.  They're ahead of me.  I haven't done a single thing...except buy E festive socks.  That was only because she was in the grocery store with me and they caught her eye.  Hubby and I made plans for family Chinese takeout and chilling at home.  Doesn't that sound delightful!
