Happy Valentines Day!!

It's funny how much you read about this "hallmark" holiday. People love it or hate it. And I completely agree that it shouldn't take a holiday to let your loved one feel loved. My husband and I do take part in the Valentine celebrations.. Every year him and our son come in with chocolates, roses and a sweet card :) I don't "need" the sweet gifts, but it definitely makes me feel special!

My gorgeous red roses and card :)

This Valentines Day, I planned something special for my Nana. It will be three years this year, she has been widowed, and she always seems sad around holidays without my Papaw. So this year, I thought it would be really sweet if my son, Christian, surprised her!! We made her a card out of supplies we already had at home. Just a little tip: do not try to multi- task when doing this..(I was talking to my mom on the phone while writing and clearly wrote crooked and started to misspell "red", oh boy)! I asked my son what restaurant he would enjoy eating at with Nana and he chose Red Lobster. I bought a gift certificate and taped it to the inside of the card. He is going to show up with a single red rose and present her the card! This will really make her day :)
