Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to you and your loved ones!

Sure, it’s turned into a commercial holiday, but the costs of flowers or chocolates aside, it reminds us to tell those significant people in our lives that they are loved.

Of course, we all immediately focus on our husbands, wives, boyfriends, and girlfriends, but there are others, as well. Those family and friends we sometimes take for granted and forget to say how much we love them.

Valentine’s Day could never go missed at our house! My daughter was born in February – not on Valentine’s Day – but she decided at a very young age that Valentine’s Day was her holiday and there was no arguing about it. We always had to buy extra Valentine’s cards because she shared them with EVERYBODY!!!! I bought many boxes of these on sale after the day and she profusely shared them all year round. I don’t think she’s even outgrown that, she still loves her Valentine’s Day cards.

The point is, she wasn’t afraid to share her sentiments with those people that were important to her, and neither should you. You don’t have to buy expensive gifts, just share your authentic feelings with those you love.

And if you want to share a little something else, here’s some history about the holiday! Valentine's Day
