Love!

Happy Valentine's Day, loves!

I hope you have something romantic planned.  It doesn't have to be big, just something that reminds the one you love that you love them. 

A few simple ideas for you (just in case you are a last minute procrastinator like me)...

A romantic picnic...in your living room. 

Grab a blanket, a bottle of wine, your hubby's favorite treat, and some romantic music.  Ta-da!



Bake a cake...it doesn't have to be fancy, but this one is really cute!

If you make this, please send me pics!

Order in...and make takeout a little more romantic! 

A knife and a little trimming of the pepperoni could make pizza an expression of your love. 

Easy, cheesy!

Pug love, enough said. 

If you need to borrow one of these cuties, call me. 

Josh will happily hand one of them over to you. 

Just let 'em know how you feel...a letter or note really does go a long way.

I'm reminding Josh that I do love him more than Pinterest (he does need the reminder, don't judge). 

I'm hoping he reminds me that he loves me more than turkeys and jeeps.  Ha!

If none of these expressions fit your style, that leaves just one thing...

Nothing says love like a little make out session. 

A guaranteed Valentine's Day hit!

Now go...refrain from changing into the pajama pants and extra large t-shirt you normally jump into bed with, keep your night mouth guard on the nightstand, and turn off the rerun of Finding Bigfoot (all are notes to self...again, don't judge). 

Tonight's the night for love.  Happy Valentine's Day!

XOXO!!

Will you be mine?

My husband is not a fan of today.  And honestly, between you and me, I don't blame him.  I believe there is too much pressure on guys to make this one day a year 'special'.  

In reality, everyday should be a day that you express love to the one that you love.  

For me it's the day to day stuff that says I love you and it doesn't have to be a big production...just a simple note, text message, cup of coffee, kind word, or kiss on the forehead makes me incredibly happy.  Luckily I have found an amazing man that does/shows all of these things.  Mushy, I know...

However, I can't lie...the chocolates, brownies, candies, cookies, and flowers are definitely a perk on this #1 Hallmark card selling day.  It's not like I would turn them down or anything...let's be real!

Any of these little treats would certainly say I love you...

But, I'm not expecting them.  

In fact, just the cup of coffee would be perfect for this Valentine's morning.  

Ok, ok maybe in one of these would make it just a little more special...

All of this sweetness had to be shared on this very sweet day...but, it really doesn't get any sweeter than this.

Pug...with a heart!  I know.  I'm in love too.

Happy Valentine's my loves!

XOXO

Love, love, love...
