Valentine’s Day is the ultimate hyped-up holiday. From heart-shaped candy boxes to jewelry ads, it seems like everyone else has someone to celebrate it with. As a single parent juggling full-time family and work responsibilities, with little time to date — or even carve out a few minutes to yourself, it can be disheartening, to say the least. But just because you’re not dating doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy Valentine’s Day. The trick is to redefine V-day in a way that is meaningful for you. Start with these Valentine’s Day ideas for single parents:
1. CELEBRATE YOUR KIDS’ UNIQUE GIFTS & TALENTS

Then use the occasion of Valentine’s Day to celebrate those gifts and share with your kids how proud of them you are and how much they’ve grown. After all, part of loving someone is really knowing who they are on the inside. That’s what Valentine’ Day should really be about, so make this holiday an opportunity to share the gifts you see developing in each of your children. Not sure where to begin?
