Valentine’s Day has a reputation for being an extravagant holiday. For couples with kids or busy work schedules‚ it can feel impossible to schedule a romantic evening. With these low-key Valentine’s Day date ideas‚ you can fit in a romantic date whether it’s after the kids have gone to bed or you and your partner have come home after a long day at work.  1. Movie Night Movies are a classic date night idea for a reason; it’s a great opportunity to snuggle up. Whether you love laughing at a classic comedy‚ working out the pieces to a psychological thriller‚ or swooning over romance films‚ cuddle together and simply relax. Transform your living room with lots of blankets and pillows for a truly cozy experience.  2. Home Wine Tasting If you and your partner love tasting new wines but can’t get to a winery‚ bring the winery home to you. Each of you can pick out a small selection of 2–3 wines and then taste them together. If wine isn’t your thing‚ mix it up with craft beer or cocktails.   3. Living Room Picnic Going out to a restaurant may not be in the cards for you‚ so order food instead! Set up a cozy blanket in the living room‚ put on some soothing romantic music‚ and indulge in a dinner date. The best part is there’s much less clean-up than if you decided to cook.  4. Bookstore or Library Date Sometimes simple dates can be the most fun and if you and your partner love to read‚ it’s exciting to buzz around your local bookstore or library. Look at the selection‚ perusing both new books and classics. Books are a great way to start some different conversations you may not engage in otherwise. This Valentine’s Day date idea is one you can do any time of day‚ so it’s easy to fit it in when you can. 5. Morning Coffee Date Evening dates aren’t always an option and there’s no reason you can’t have a morning date. Meet at a local coffee shop or brew coffee at home and sit together simply enjoying each other’s company. Focus on your partner‚ providing undivided attention‚ because you’re probably not always able to get quiet moments like this. Courtesy of Miriam Alonso (via Pexels) 6. Scenic Drive Driving together with your partner can force you to give attention – and in a good way! The confines of being together can feel intimate‚ even with an activity as simple as driving. Get in the car and see where the road takes you‚ whether it’s to a scenic area in the middle of nowhere or a housing development with gorgeous homes that inspire you.  7. Board Game Night Board games are great for fun dates‚ especially for couples who love a little friendly competition. Choose a classic board game or something new you’ve never played before. If video games are more your style‚ play some of those instead. 8. DIY Spa Night Going to the spa can be a luxurious experience‚ but it doesn’t leave room for making connections. Opt for a DIY spa night at home for a more intimate Valentine’s Day date idea. Give each other massages with fragrant massage oil or enjoy relaxing face masks.  9. Stargazing Quality time outdoors may not be in the forecast if you live in a colder climate‚ but if the weather permits‚ a night spent stargazing could be a very romantic way to spend your Valentine’s Day. Find a quiet spot in your own backyard or a public park‚ somewhere with plenty of room to see the night sky. Spread out a blanket‚ lay beside each other‚ and spend some time stargazing. 10. Exchange Love Letters Writing love letters has become something of a lost art in the days of technology. Recreate this romantic gesture of the past and write love letters to each other. Sit together on the couch and exchange the letters‚ reading through them together‚ and toast to your love. 11. Go Tech-Free Technology can feel incredibly consuming‚ whether it’s spending time on your phone or streaming movies and TV shows. Consider ditching all devices on Valentine’s Day and just sit with your partner. Let the conversation flow by discussing whatever crosses your mind‚ from dream vacations you want to take to renovations you’d like to do to your home. Enjoying a simple Valentine’s Day with your loved one could be one of the most perfect date ideas you’ve had in years. Quiet moments can be a beautiful reminder that your love is incredibly deep and you can enjoy each other without extravagance. This article was written exclusively for Love What Matters by Kate Fann.

The Duke of Sussex was seen traveling back to Heathrow airport on Wednesday‚ a day after he had a “brief” meeting with the King that lasted “45 minutes” after Buckingham Palace announced the King’s cancer diagnosis on Monday‚ The Sun reported. It was the first time the two met in person since the duke made the trip to the U.K. in September 2022 for his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral‚ the Daily Mail noted. The royal did make the trip back to London for the King’s coronation in May 2023‚ but it is believed the two never interacted‚ the outlet noted. Prince Harry is going to break the record for how little time a person can spend in the UK on a single trip 🤭 Already on his way home ✈️🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/IVqACHbuD8 — Julieth ❀ (@troubleshade) February 7‚ 2024 One royal source claimed the meeting was “brief” because the King was tired after undergoing a cancer treatment‚ but said that the monarch is “coping magnificently. If you didn’t know what was the matter‚ you wouldn’t have any idea that he had any condition at all.” A source close to the duke said he had “no plans” to meet with anyone else in his family‚ including his brother Prince William‚ amid their reportedly strained relationship following Harry’s initial decision to step down from his senior royal role with his wife Meghan Markle in 2020. It’s also believed he didn’t meet with the sister-in-law Kate Middleton‚ who’s recovering following abdominal surgery. “The Duke’s primary reason to travel to the UK is to visit his father‚” a source told Daily Mail. “If the opportunity were to arise to see the Prince of Wales then the Duke would have gladly accepted it.” On Monday‚ Buckingham Palace announced the King was diagnosed with cancer during his recent “hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer‚” the statement read‚ without providing further information. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments‚ during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.” “Throughout this period‚ His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual‚” the statement added. “The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention‚ which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure. He remains wholly positive about his treatment and looks forward to returning to full public duty as soon as possible.” “His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding for all those around the world who are affected by cancer‚” the statement concluded. The royal made the trip to London solo‚ leaving the Duchess of Sussex and their two kids‚ Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet‚ at home in Southern California. The King ascended to the throne in September 2022 following the death of his mother at 96. Related: Prince Harry Arrives In London Following King Charles’ Cancer Diagnosis

Denver is in the process of evicting about 800 migrant families from the city’s overcrowded shelters. Colorado’s capital is struggling to metabolize the more than 40‚000 illegal migrants who have arrived in the city in recent months. So far‚ the city has kicked out about 140 families from the temporary shelters‚ city officials said. About 660 more families are set to be evicted over the next few weeks. Starting this past Monday‚ migrant families can only stay in a shelter room for six weeks‚ Mayor Mike Johnston’s office announced last month. “We have filled every single hotel room that we have available in the city and county of Denver‚” Johnston‚ a Democrat‚ said at a town hall meeting last week. “Now we have the terrible decision that if we don’t start exiting folks‚ we will have 250 folks that will arrive today or the day after who don’t have anywhere to go at night‚” the mayor said. Last week‚ Johnston said his city is “very close” to a breaking point due to the migrant crisis. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Originally‚ the city did not want to limit how much time migrants could stay in shelters. In November‚ the city stopped evicting migrant families and welcomed some families back to shelters. However‚ a spokesperson for Johnston’s office explained that the migrant influx is “straining capacity” and that “over the past two months‚ Denver has seen a dramatic uptick in arrivals and is currently sheltering 4‚000 people.” Johnston said the city would likely need $100 million over the course of this year to pay for migrant costs such as housing‚ school‚ and health care. Meanwhile‚ city hospital Denver Health has about $10 million in unpaid medical bills from migrants. The hospital has requested more money from both Colorado and the federal government. The city’s public schools have received nearly 3‚000 new migrant children‚ hundreds of whom are coming in with little to no previous schooling. Also‚ more tent cities are cropping up in Denver‚ which already has a significant homeless problem — the homeless population spiked more than 30% last year. Denver has only 710‚000 residents‚ meaning the new migrants have increased the city’s population by more than 5%. The new arrivals now make up a more significant segment of the city’s population than they do in larger cities that have seen a recent migrant influx‚ such as New York City or Chicago. Denver says on the city’s website that it has helped more than 38‚000 migrants at a cost of more than $42 million. “This influx of migrants is straining capacity‚ and based on current projections‚ could force the city to cut as much as $180 million from its annual budget‚” Denver said in a press release.
