    Happy Valentine’s Day!! I hope you all have a chance to spend today with the ones you love and if you can’t do that in-person, give those people a call or send a card and let them know that you’re thinking about them.

    I just wanted to say real quick that we hit 15,000 views on Monday this past week and that was just insane to me. Thank you for being here and reading my writing. 🙂 I hope you’re enjoying the posts. If there’s something you want me to write about, let me know!!

    Anyway, Valentine’s Day. In my opinion, the holiday has become a day about chocolate and flowers. Wow. I was grocery shopping for my upcoming week at school and that just really hit me. Maybe I don’t see how special the holiday can be because I don’t have a significant other but I realized just how commercialized the holiday is yesterday. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Flowers and lots of them. Giant teddy bears. Rows upon rows of poorly made stuffed animals holding hearts with corny little sayings. Cards with cheesy but sentimental words. To be fair though, I do really enjoy sending out cards. I feel like there’s something special about receiving actual mail. 🙂

    I always help my mom do something for my dad and help my dad do something for my mom but I really didn’t think about how much this holiday revolves around material goods. A lot of holidays do. This might be a bit late considering that today is Valentine’s Day, but if you get a chance to do something more than just buy a bouquet of roses or a box of Godiva chocolate today, I say go for it. I know that appreciation and affection can be shown in so many different ways, but I feel like we can all do something to make it a bit more special.

    With that said, I hope you have a great rest of your Valentine’s Day and stay happy and healthy this upcoming week. Love you all!

    -Chalkboard Mug– If you don’t already have a chalkboard mug, go out and get one. On Valentine’s Day, write a sweet little note for your lucky someone to read.

    -Themed Sweets– Boxed chocolates, red velvet cake, heart-shaped cookies or brownies…you name it! Getting some sweets themed around Valentine’s Day is a fun and yummy way to brighten the mood and your stomachs.

    -A Bouquet of Flowers– A bouquet of bright red roses, or pretty carnations, is a wonderful way to show your appreciation. Flowers also smell very nice and look very pretty.

    -Tickets– For the men and boys in your life, you could get them tickets to a singer coming to town or a good movie. You could even be wanting to take a trip! This is also a fun way to spend the night or an exciting week together and make lasting memories.

    -A Card– In my family, write cards the most. Cards are so much fun, whether you make them or pick them out. It could be ridiculously cheesy or super meaningful. The thing about a card is you can choose what is said inside and it is a thing that can be kept forever. Words mean a lot to people.

    Valentine's Day

    Just remember, when it comes to gifts, it doesn’t matter how much it costs or what your friends got their family. What really matters is that you’re showing your appreciation and love for your family and friends. Have a great Valentine’s Day! <3
