Oh the day of hearts and romance and pink and red and way to expensive flowers I am not a huge Valentines Day girl, don’t get me wrong, I like it. I like the excuse to give cards and candy and have a nice dinner with your significant other, make a special dessert, etc. I even love Valentines Day parties. But, I have never really thought that you should have to go ‘all out’. Even when we were dating (Stu and I) I would tell him “Please do not send me flowers on Valentines Day!” I would much rather him send them any random day of the year, and spend a whole lot less money and they would be so much more special…because it was not ‘expected’. He scored big points one year when he showed up with a cute little Valentines Day bag, a few long stemed roses he picked up at the grocery store, and a few of his old Tshirts for me to sleep in… in my opinion, it was the perfect gift

Another thing I really like about Valentines Day now that we have kids is making cards with Kennedy. And this year, we waited till the last minute to do it (yesterday)! I had good intentions of making some cute Valentines Day decor too, but that didn’t happen

Happy Valentines Day to you all. However you are spending it, I hope it is wonderful!
