Four Fun Ways to Celebrate Safely

By Debra Jaramillo, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Central Park-Commerce City-Northfield February 7, 2021

Valentine's Day as fast approaching and, due to the pandemic, we are not able to celebrate in our normal traditions of going to dinner, seeing a movie, or having drinks with friends. While that is a bummer, this is a great opportunity to break with the normal traditions, put a little spice in your life, and shake things up this Valentine's Day. Below is a list of some ideas for a fun, romantic or family designed, day to share with the ones you love. 





1. DIY Decorations: Sit down with your special someone and/or the kids and create some table centerpieces, valentine cards, or put some hearts all around the house. Hearts in the windows double as decoration and shows our support for healthcare workers.






2. Take an Online Cooking Class: Have fun making a meal, learn some new skills, and sit down and enjoy what you make with the ones you love!

3. Valentine's Rocks: Paint some sweet Valentine's messages on rocks like #SMILE, XOXO, You Are Loved, then go on a hike and leave your special rocks along the path where others can find a beautiful surprise. You never know, you might be lifting the spirits of someone in need. <3
