Valentine’s Day, February 14 is a fun day in the U.S.  We exchange cards with loved ones and friends, give little gifts (candy, flowers), and take a few moments to tell all the people who are important to us that we care about them.

Valentine’s Day gives us the opportunity to do some crafts with the kids (especially during all the snow days).  Take a look at the Au Pair in America Pinterest page for some great ideas.

We have many “heart” expressions in English.  Let’s see if you know what these mean:

 

1.  from the bottom of my heart

2. break my heart or heartbroken

3. with all my heart

4. Cross my heart

5. from the bottom of my heart

6. have a  heavy heart

7. heart of the matter

8. with half a heart (half-hearted)

9.  wears his heart on his sleeve

10. heart of the matter
