Happy Valentine's Day! And 10 Useful Links

First of all, Happy Valentine's Day to you all!  We did our usual--hubby made me a very sweet card as he does for all holidays/birthdays/anniversaries--and we went out for lunch for the holiday yesterday (I'm not a fan of crowded restaurants like what happens on Valentine's Day so we usually have lunch out the day before or the day after the holiday!).  Also, here are some useful/interesting links you might like...

3. Don't forget that your kids can try ice hockey for free next week.
