entertain: Valentine's Day Brunch

Valentine's day is perfect for hosting a brunch with friends and family to celebrate -- well, LOVE of course! Brunch is a personal favorite of mine -- it somehow savors the morning and lets it last a little bit longer. Here are some details I'd include in a Valentine's Brunch, complete with menu, playlist, and decor ideas. Enjoy!
