And while it's true that more young girls and women try dieting than boys and men, as a mom to all boys, I know that self esteem and body issues are hard on both sexes. No one is immune to feeling bad about their bodies and wishing they were more fit, lean, or strong as some of the images they see on tv and magazines.

This is actually the first year that I've decorated my mantel for Valentine's Day. It gets a new look for Christmas, but the rest of the year it pretty much looks the same, so this year I thought I would dress it up for the holiday of Love!
