  • We’re living in Chile right now, but we’re still excited to do our Secret Valentines for our family members! This #familytradition is practically free and so easy— the goal is to do as many nice things for your Valentine as possible. And then on Valentine’s Day, we reveal who we had! Sometimes we get a small treat or gift, but it’s not about the gift, just love, love, love! 💕💕💕
