Today is the day. Valentine's Day.
A cheesy holiday filled with chocolate, roses, and lots of cute Hallmark cards.
I know it's a hugely marketed, semi-fake holiday.
And I also know a lot of people who stick their noses up and sort of boycott this day.
But at the end of the day, I have a confession....
I love it.
I am totally that person that says, "I celebrate my love every day of the year". And I truly believe in that practice. But my gosh, I'm not going to be that
For the record, Dan and I don't do anything over the top and I like it that way. I also like any chance to celebrate and reflect on the love that we share...not just with one another, but with our family and friends. So whether that means a simple homemade breakfast, a card, dinner out, or some chocolate (hint, hint Dan), a coffee date with a friend you care about, watching your favorite movie with some Ben and Jerry's, whatever. Do something.
Today. If you have someone you love (and everybody does), give that person a special call, a simple card, an email...anything to let them know they mean a lot to you. Life is short. Don't let a chance go by to not let those special people know.
I'm excited because tonight I've planned a little somethin' somethin' for the mister and I. It's nothing crazy, but I like surprises and I also like date nights and it's a little combo of those. So, here's to a great night of adult, alone time while the little guy is partying it up and having a sleepover at his grandparents' house.
