Dear Family, Happy Valentine’s Day weekend. Are you doing something romantic? We sneaked off and took our romantic weekend last month.

Dear Family, Yesterday IRS officially announced that February 14th is when they will start processing tax returns with itemized deductions and other forms that were affected by the tax law changes on.
