I don’t know about you, but I find that Valentine’s Day creeps up on me too quickly! January tends to be a catch up month for me. It’s about putting away holiday decorations, re-organizing, decluttering, cleaning and getting back to life as usual. I start to enjoy the less chaotic life and before I know it, it is Superbowl and then January is gone. There are only 14 days in February before Valentine’s Day and those 14 days fly by.
