Valentine's Day isn't just for couples in love, it's also for kids who are in love with life.

"Valentine's Day books are always popular," Leonard said. And there is an educational purpose behind giving a book. Kids will not only have fun reading (or hearing) the story, they will also feel encouraged to read. Something that many parents would support. Leonard also suggests making projects with kids for Valentine's Day. "You can never go wrong with getting craft projects for the kids," she said. "Arts and crafts are always popular items to get for any age." And for those who can't…

Each week, Dedham Patch highlights editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off and more in our feature called Patch Picks. While it may be Halloween in Dedham, it's also the end of October. That alone means that one of the great holidays of fall is right around the corner - Thanksgiving. The holiday falls on Nov. 24 this year, and will offer another chance for families to gather, sit down for a wide array of food and give thanks and say blessings. But that doesn't mean everyone enjoys celebrating the holiday at home. Many families enjoy going out for a feast to change up the tradition. As such, we're wondering this week what restaurants in the Dedham area are perfect …
