Valentine's Day


I have always loved Valentine's Day {okay, maybe I was a little bitter about it when I was single, but deep down I always loved it} I love the idea of it. I know that everyone says it is just a made-up Hallmark holiday and people should show their love for one another every day, not just this day. And I believe that 100%. But I also like that there is one day that we can pause and take time to show love to the special ones in our lives.

I also don't think that it has to just be about romantic love. Today should also be a day to show love to your family and friends...even pets! The people who complete your life.

And let's be honest...all the chocolate and candy hearts aren't too bad either ;)

We had a nice relaxing day as a family. Skip took off of work today so he could hang out with me and Little M. We had a pretty typical day {with the opening of some gifts this morning. Little M got a 'love' shirt...Skip got some candy, and I got some candy, flower, and 'The Time Traveler's Wife'}

For dinner we decided we wanted to spend it with Little M, so we all went to dinner at Friendly's. Little M was soooo good and ate an entire children's portion of mac and cheese and half my ice cream! Even though we were there for an hour and a half, she didn't fuss once.

After we came home and put her to bed Skip and I watched my new movie. It was so good and I highly recommend it!

So I hope you all had a nice relaxing day with your loved ones. Happy Valentine's Day bloggy world!

ps....don't forget to enter my giveaway below!

    Sounds like a great Valentine's Day!

    I've always loved Valentine's Day too. Even when I was single. Although I definitely like it more now that I have a perma-Valentine.

    Really? You post and say you got Miss M a shirt and then don't post a picture of her wearing it, you are a meanie for holding out on us!

    I love valentines too! We don't celebrate it with the rest of the world but I still love the pink and red colors and I can't wait to celebrate our valentines in April (the day we had our first date). When we have a kid, we will celebrate February for them and April for us, lol!

    Anyways, sounds like you guys had a great valentines...hurry up with the picture! :)

Spring Giveaway!

First off I want to thank Kim over at Life As I Know I t for becoming my 100 th follower! I love her blog and just know we would hang out all the time if she didn't live across the country. I am completely humbled that 100 people actually want to read what I have to say! Blogging has opened up a whole new world of friendships to me and I would probably not have kept doing it if it was not for all of you! Okay, now it's down to the good stuff. I am *dying* for a little spring around here. We had a few days of warmth and sunshine, but for the past three days it has been raining...again....I heard they have even mobilized our National Guard in case the rivers decide to really get out of hand...you know more than the crazy flooding they've already been doing. Anyways, one of my favorite things to do to get ready for spring is to paint my nails a fun, bright color. So today I am giving away these beauties. One lucky reader will win all four of these fabulous colors! I g...

$50 CSN Giveaway!!

As you all know, I have raved about my love of CSN stores several times before.  They have a huge selection of products and are constantly adding new stores to their website.  My family definitely headed over there to do some of our Christmas shopping, and I was just perusing their selection of flat panel TV stands.      It's one thing, however, for me to tell you how great CSN is.  But it's another for you to experience it yourself.  That is why I am so excited to be sponsoring a $50 gift certificate giveaway to CSN to one of my readers!!!  It's the perfect opportunity to order yourself something you didn't receive for Christmas, or check out their fitness equipment to help with your new year's resolution! Entering is simple...just leave a comment telling me what your new year's resolution is {you can also just say you aren't making any this year if that's the case!}  The giveaway will be open until January 7th 10:00 pm est.
