I love love.
And I’m not afraid to admit that I am a sucker for Valentines Day.
This year I’m super excited to make it special for the kids,
so that they grow up knowing that this day doesn’t have to be just about couples….

It can be about showing and giving love
to everyone around us….
I not only want to make it special for them,
I want it to become meaningful.
This way there will never be a year that they feel alone.
Because they’ll know it’s not about them,
and what they have or don’t have.
It’ll simply be a day that they get another chance to give their love to others.
Happy Valentines Day you guys….
I hope that this day finds you feeling loved and adored.
Because you are.
Especially by me.
Because I heart you.
You complete me.
I mean….
You had me at hello.
Mwa.

{and a special thank you to my valentines day secret pal, Kristen from Kristen’s take on life. She sent me the most amazing jewelry, hair clips, and yummy yummy chocolate….which I totally ate minutes after taking it out of the box! Um, I was sick. I needed sugar to live…. But, seriously woman, I so scored. I will totally be rocking my new stuff on a fashion friday soon! Thank you a million!}

  1. That’s the cutest thing ever. I cant wait to share this day with my little one when as he gets older.

    I bought my partner a pair of love birds who are velcroed together and my son loves them.

    I figure its a little bit of mummy and daddy for him to hold onto.

    Enjoy your day.
    Happy Valentines Day Summer

  20. Great idea! I have homemade cards that I 1/2 way made, sitting here… still need “glue” and “words” to fill them. Ugh. Fever and sore throat don’t help. DO you think they’ll care if they’re a day late?

  21. it’s so nice you made v-day special for your kids! i remember LOVING it as a kid because you would get valentine’s from everyone in your class at school and you’d get candy. my parents still give me valentines and it really is nice to share the day with everyone, not just your partner.

  22. I’m just glad it’s over! Maybe someday I’ll have a valentine again.

  23. I hope you had a lovely heart day! Mwa back at you!
