Valentine's Day is my most favorite holiday. I think it's largely because I am a HUGE Romantic!!! HUGE! I love chick flicks, lovey-dovey music, and the happily ever after. I don't even have to get chocolates or roses, all I ever want for Valentine's Day is a card from my Valentine, with just a few words from him, not Hallmark.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't complain if Eric surprised me with a candlelight dinner and some quality "us" time, but I'm also realistic...we have kids. My ideal Valentine's Day would be going out to dinner and then coming home and snuggling on the couch watching a chick flick with the fire going. But reality tells me we'll be home eating tacos because I forgot to thaw something better, studying for some upcoming test with Cade, breaking up a fight between Cooper and Carston because one called the other a "cry baby", and wiping snot bubbles from Colton's nose. If that doesn't just scream romance, I don't know what does.
I guess in a way I'm one lucky girl. I have 5 wonderful men in my life. Which is probably another reason why I just LOVE Valentine's Day. I have the most amazing husband. Not only is he good looking, but he takes great care of me and our family. I always feel protected, cared for, and loved! He's my best friend, and although there are days where he drives me nuts, I still get goosebumps when I see him in a room of people! And then there are the 4 little valentines. One that still asks for hugs, one that tells me how great a cook I am (you can stop laughing), one that wants to help me do everything, and a little one that LOVES to snuggle. Five Valentines for one girl! I LOVE Valentine's Day!

totally my favorite too! Romance takes on a whole new meaning when kids arrive, but my view on romance also changed (whew...it's a good thing it did!). LOVE the blog, looks great!
