1. Planning a trip is great to do. For my fellow Baltimore folks, the National Great Blacks & Wax Museum or the B&O Museum located in Baltimore, MD can serve as a great family outing and an educational trip for the kids in honor of Black History month. If you live in another city check out this great listing by Parent Magazine on the best museums for children.
2. Grabbing a few movies out of the Red Box machine is a very inexpensive form of entertainment that will give your kids and you options for the evening.
3. Making a kid friendly dinner. This allows your kids to really feel like they had a hand in planning the Valentines Day celebration. For example Easy Chicken Parmesan is a great recipe.
4-6 frozen breaded chicken breasts
4 cups of store brought pasta sauce
1 cup of mozzarella cheese, shredded
2 cups of parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
1 teaspoon of Italian seasonings (garlic, rosemary, oregano ECT)
1 small box of spaghetti noodles
