A holiday that promotes giving each other sweets, flowers, and a kiss or two?! Have I mentioned that I met Christian at a Valentines Day dance? Oh, just 100 times already? No matter, here is the stor...
This is great a comercial for a great cause. I love how the kids reacted, their cute faces, and their adorable Spanish. If you dont speak Spanish here is what they have witten in the end "In a wo...
