Once upon a time, I hated Valentine's Day. To me it was a yucky, overly-commercialized holiday that was teetering on the brink of ridiculousness. Since having a little one, though, I changed my mind, because I love any opportunity I can take to shower him with love and affection. But a very, very close friend of mine reminded me of another reason why this day is so important. Because regardless of how we feel about the commercialism, it does remind us all to think, if even for a split second, about the people we love: husbands, children, parents, siblings, family, friends, co-workers, even the postman!
So, I want to take this opportunity to spread the love and spread the word about our Mom Cause of the Month, The Ronald McDonald House. This worthy cause helps to decrease the burden and ensure the care and comfort of over 4 million families worldwide who have a child in need of medical attention. But like any charity, they need the community's help. And it is so easy to help the Ronald McDonald House!
