Onwards to Valentines Day

Valentines is big here in Canada! It is festive and it is a day that celebrates love in all its forms, from romantic love to love for friends and family.

Valentine’s Day does exist in Australia but in my experience it is mainly romantic love that is celebrated and it is not a hugely recognised day. Whereas here in Canada the kids all celebrated the day at school with class parties and card exchanges with their classmates. From this we found that the day was a day to express our love and gratitude for all the relationships in our life.

We love you!

It just happened that Valentines Day landed on the same week as Tim Tam Day so after finding some in the local shops (woo!) Luke and the kids took them to school to share with students, teachers and classmates.
