I absolutely LOVE Valentine’s Day! It doesn’t matter whether I’m romantically entangled or single (more often the case), this is a day worth smiling about.
It all started with my mom (doesn’t everything lead back to our moms?). She made Valentine’s Day really special for us growing up. Heart-shaped poached eggs for breakfast, a sandwich cut out in a heart shape, a sweet greeting card waiting for us after school, some cute little trinket at dinner. The house was decorated with hearts and pink and red, and we always had special candles on the dinner table. She instilled in me that Valentine’s Day isn’t just a corporate over-commercialized holiday, but it’s a time to show those you love that they’re important to you.
And that’s how I’ve looked at V-Day forever after. It’s a day to tell everyone I love just how special they are to me. How my life is better because they’re in it. And having a significant other (or not) doesn’t change that, because I have lots of love in my life even without a boyfriend to share it with (right now).
So…
…I wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day. Go tell someone you love them today.
That’s such an awesome (and likely rare!) VD tradition! Is your sis doing some of that with your nieces? Hope so! Have a great day Bella!
My sister does do many of the same things (and some new ones) for my nieces.
Happy Valentines Day Bella! Love your top and cup! Too cute and so festive. I 💗 all the valentines treats your mom did. I try to remember to do things like that for my family. We’re having heart shaped raviolis for dinner tonight too!
Hope your day is great!
I love it! I hope the heart ravioli were good!!
I want a mom like yours! Happy Valentine’s Day.
What a sweet tradition!! I definitely think that this day is about love in general 🙂
That’s so nice! It sounds like you guys had fun in your house growing up. You’ve mentioned lots of nice little traditions in your posts.
Your traditions are so sweet! Heart shaped eggs? Yes please!
My mom is such a thoughtful person, and I really appreciate all that she does to make us feel special. She still makes sure that my sister and I (as well as my dad) have a little surprise waiting for us on Valentine’s Day.
