It’s Valentine’s Day!

Wow. I can’t believe it. I almost missed it. I don’t think it’s ever happened before, but I nearly forgot about Valentine’s Day this year. Things have been nuts here at home and especially in our community but I never thought I’d forget Valentine’s Day. I’ve usually purchased Valentines, goodies for school parties, and stuff for my girls and my husband, well before now. This time, I was running around last night for school snacks and my youngest hurriedly filled out the last minute Valentines I picked up. Even then, I forgot again and didn’t wish my husband a Happy … Continue reading →

Home Week in Review: February 4th Through February 10th

Our homes are the heart of our lives. This is never more evident when disaster strikes, as it has recently for so many. It is also a place where love grows, sometimes passionately, sometimes softly. When we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we can include not just our sweethearts, but everyone who comes under the shelter of our home. I am so amazed to realize that I get to share my love of the home with all of you. Please come along with myself and Sherry, as we bring you the subject, outside of family and friends, that is closest to our … Continue reading →

Valentine’s Day: Special Delivery

What will you do for your sweetie(s) for Valentine’s Day? Will you have something special delivered to work or school to say ‘be mine’? A lot of thought (not to mention cash) goes into picking out just the right things and having them delivered. I like thoughtful ideas rather than extravagant. I won’t be spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I won’t be sending six foot tall Teddy Bears, dozens of roses, or 10 pound heart shaped boxes of chocolate to school for my kids. I’ll just find a little something that’s cute and sweet that says Happy Valentine’s Day … Continue reading →

Picking Valentine Flowers

Flowers are so associated with love and Valentines Day that chances are that you will either receive or give some this Valentine’s Day. This past week, I received an e-mail from my son’s school. It was a document that contained a form to order pink, white and red carnations for Valentines Day. The school is using the sale as a fundraiser, and I can order some flowers in a convenient way. It got me thinking about choosing flowers and taking care of them. Here are some tips to ensure that your blooms last long and strong. Roses sure do make … Continue reading →

Decorating for Valentine’s Day

Even though it seems as if you finally just got all the Christmas decorations organized and put away, it might be time to pull some of them back out… I was given a heart shaped glass dish for Christmas. It looked nice filled with tiny, shiny ornaments, but it will also be pretty when filled with heart shaped candies for Valentine’s Day. That red tablecloth, red doilies, gold placemats, and metallic stars can all add to your Valentine’s Day decorating. Metallic items look great with red. Those star shaped decorations will work too, because stars and hearts work together. I … Continue reading →

Favorite Valentines Gifts for the Home

Forget the candy and perfume. This year, for Valentine’s Day, why not ask for or give a gift that you can enjoy in your home. Chances are the gift will last longer than a card or chocolates, and will be remembered for years to come. Here are some of my favorite ideas. A down comforter: You’ll be able to snuggle and sleep in with your honey when you are warm under a fluffy down comforter.

If you do nothing else this Valentine’s Day with your spouse, how about just jotting a note of things you appreciate about them?

This Valentine’s Day will be the twelfth we’ve spent together. Here are some of the things I really love about you: You don’t make a big deal about anything. You help out around the house. You get on the floor and play … Continue reading →

Frugal Valentines Blogs

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope your day is filled with lots of good things. Here we are battling lots of snow. Yesterday, I paid a group of kids $15 to shovel the walk, and it was not very frugal. They did a very poor job. So, I was very resigned to having to shovel the rest of the snow today. Wow, as I was writing this, my very great neighbor knocked on the door. He offered to move my car so he could use his snow blower on the street. He already did our walk and the sidewalks on the … Continue reading →
