Getting ready for Valentines Day
Honestly, I am not a huge fan of Valentines Day. My husband normally brings home an overpriced stuffed animal with last minute flowers because its the norm I guess. I tell him every year that it is not me and I think he finally gets it. I also have a drawer full of jewelry I don't wear because its all gold and I am not a fan of gold (he knows this too but he doesn't pay attention). Its not that I don't appreciate the holiday and the gestures or the meaning behind it but I think he does things because he thinks/knows that it is what he is supposed to do. I would rather spend the money on going somewhere with the kids or whatever. I think if the correct amount of thought was actually put into the gifts or whatever he decided to do then I think it would mean more to me. This year I did not get anything, I did not expect anything and honestly, I did not want anything. For me holidays are usually about what I can do and usually what I can do for and with the kids.

I love celebrating the holidays with crafts. My nephew used to be my guinea pig when it comes to doing crafts. I wanted to make heart-shaped crayons to attach to Valentine's for his school....and he didn't want to do it ...BOO!!!! Why do they have to grow up so fast?
ReplyDeletehehe... Valentine's day isn't something me and my man is celebrating as well, and this year he is on his way to Africa, so me and my daughter had mother-daughter time in stead. Her favorite dinner and we watched her favorite show :) Love is love <3
ReplyDeleteYou know what, I totally forgot to create greeting cards and shop for chocolates for my close friends. Next time I'll do that. My family just had dinner and ate our chocolates when we got home.
ReplyDeleteI love the crafts and the smiles I get form my kids on this day. I know we shouldn't need a day to show our love it should be daily but I love the extra fun stuff on this day. Lets me be all mushy and get away with it:)
ReplyDeleteThey look like they are having so much fun!

How fun to put together goody boxes. I'm not a fan of the holiday either. This year, my husband gave me the best gift... A personalized photo that he shared on his FB and G+ walls then submitted those for resyndication through the blogger networks. I was over the moon happy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea, hope you guys had fun!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great idea. My son loved making cupcakes for our families for Valentines Day. Always fun to have an excuse for crafting.
ReplyDeleteWe are a crafting family, too. I love to put goody boxes together as well.
