You start on February 1st... 1st day of Valentines, and each day from then until Valentines day, you do or give something to your special someone! I did a bunch of research of different people's ideas and created my own. It's pretty cheesy but the 2 weeks prior to Valentines for us, Jon was traveling a bunch so it was fun to send him with little presents!
I thought I might list a few of them for people if they want to use the idea next year! Sorry I didn't post it earlier but he checks the blog all the time while he's out of town to see pics of the kids and stuff so I didn't want to risk him seeing it.
Day 1: A singing Valentine card that welcomed him to the 14 days of valentines! ( I hung it on a fuzzy heart on the front door as he came home!)
Day 2: An invitation for lunch-for-2!! I got a babysitter and all!
Day 3: A gift card for 2 movie tickets and a candy! (3 things it could buy)
Day 4: 4 wallet sized pictures with him and me and the kids! Just fun ones of us playing together
Day 5: 5 kinds of fudge! (gardner village has the buy 4 get one free!)
Day 6: "You are my sweetie PIE" I cut his favorite kind of pie into 6 pieces!
Day 7: Rose petals!...can't tell you the rest!
Day 8: You are "eggsactly" what I want! I cooked breakfast for him with 8 things of his plate. (2 eggs, 2 peices of toast, 2 peices of sausage hashbrowns and O.J.)
Day 9: An invitation for a movie at 9:00...our house! With a box of Crunch-n-Munch and 2 Rootbeers!
Day 10: 10 things I love about you on a cute thing. You can frame it if you'd like!
Day 11: A picture of our wedding day and how I felt that day!
Day 12: A Papa Murpheys pizza in a heart shape! (this was a last minute one! it was supposed to be 12 love notes...I got lazy!)
Day 13: 13 different ways to say "I love you." I posted them in different languages all over his truck. I also added the cute cheesy windo stickers you buy at the dollar store! He still hasn't taken them down!
Day 14: I was in charge of dinner! I made his favorite and prepared a 5 course meal! We put the kids to bed early and ate dinner at 7:00! It was so fun and romantic.
Anyway, I know it's a lot of planning but the nice thing about it is that you can do it on any budget! I got a bunch of stuff at the dollar store and went from there! Here's a picture of the table on Valentines, it was fun to have something new and different! Hopefully if you ever want to do this for your hubby, you can search it and get some good ideas!
This is the gift Jon gave to me!!! Way too much but I am so excited! I have wanted to see Wicked so bad and now I get to go! YAY!

What a sweet wife you are! I am way excited for you to go see Wicked! Can't wait to see you guys on Sunday.
A few of my friends did the "12 days" thing too. I was feeling too lazy to come up with anything... so thanks for posting your list, now I have something to start with NEXT year.
Congrats on the Wicked tickets. Is it coming to SLC or do you get to go out of town for the weekend to see it? Either way I am jealous.
Oh, I meant "14 days" in my comment above... guess I am still stuck on Christmas...
Great idea! (But shouldn't I be the one being spoiled on Valentines day?)
That is so cute! I might do it, even though Valentine's Day is past. Hey- when and where are you moving? Let's get together (yeah! yeah! yeah!)
