It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday. I think because of all the pinks and reds. I have always hated saying I like pink though. It makes me feel like a girly girl when I admit my affection. I guess part of me is really girly, but not in a Im-so-neat and-hate-when-my-kids-get-dirt-on-them-and-I-wake-up-with-Snow-White woodland-creatures-in-my-bedroom sort of way.

I'm not gonna lie though, a little bit of the reason I heart V-day is because eleven days later is my birthday. I have a friend that was born on Valentine's Day. Man, is she lucky. I guess Christmas should be my fav, but it's just way too stressful. Actually, Christmas is my least favorite. There, I said it. Hate me all you want, I'll be celebrating a day of love.......with a much prettier holiday color pallet.

So, in honor of my favorite day, I thought I would share my favorite V-day finds. Yay! Here we go.

There isn't a tutorial for these, but just get some glitter paper, cut out a heart, and hot glue to a toothpick! These would be so cute stuck in cupcakes or mason jars of a delicious drink.

This beautiful wreath screams Valentine's Day to me. I just love pink and red together. I think I need to make a trip to Michael's later for some supplies.

Free printable valentines cards. These would be so cute to leave your husband everyday before work until V-day. These are from cake. blog. I like this blog a lot. It's simple and pretty. 

These would be so cute to package up in a cello bag for friends. I love chocolate and pretzels together. One of my favorite candies is Pretzel M&M's. Sometimes I think I am the only one who likes them though, because every time I declare my love to people they always say "ugh!" I know I have some fellow Pretzel M&M lovers out there, where are you?!

Do you do anything fun on Valentine's Day? Even if you don't have a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, or wife, I still think it's a great day to let your friends and family know how much you love them! 

I'm so excited V-day is on a Tuesday this year since that is George's off day. We will have a big heart filled breakfast with the kids and then maybe have a date that night. 

PS: Valentine's day is also a great day to think about Christ's love for us. I think it's an awesome day to talk to your kids about how much Jesus loves them. We will be........because Ryder has been known to say "Jesus don't give us Inner Peace(we were watching Kung Fu Panda and he asked what inner peace was), Jesus might put me in the oven and eat me." Hmmm, seems as though we haven't made very clear distinctions between the Lord and the old woman in Hansel & Gretle.
