Kerrie and Kris Cooper know exactly what's important in life.

They prioritise their three incredible children, and when time allows, each other.

Still, family life comes with it's challenges, in particular for this family who is surviving on a single income while Kerrie stays home and cares for Leila, 8, Eloise, 2, and baby Austin, 10-months.

Kerrie and Kris say they haven't celebrated Valentine's Day since before they had kids. 9Honey

The couple met while working at a pizza outlet 11 years ago and since then, have struggled to celebrate Valentine's Day properly.

Both sides of the family live a minimum of five hours away.

Even if they did have easy and affordable babysitting options, with Austin still so young, they can only really head out in between feeds.

9Honey Helpers decided to come to the rescue of this couple to show them how they can celebrate Valentine's Day without leaving their home.

It's simple, affordable and best of all, they don't have to leave their children to do it.

Jo Abi and Jane DeGraaff visited the Coopers and the results are incredible.
