Woah... the past weeks flew by me and I failed miserably at keeping up with the blog! Having a 10 month old will do that to a girl! But never fear, I'm getting back into the swing and ready to play a bit of catch up to bring the blog back up to speed. First, a sweet hello to anyone reading that has followed me since my very first blog that I began in 2007, Jeune Marie! I got several emails and a very kind comment from some "old friends" and just wanted to take a special moment to welcome all of you! Now, on to all of our Valentine's day goodness!
I had a fun little "DIY photoshoot" with my little cupid and used the pictures in Valentine's cards that I sent out to our family. It was a ton of fun!
(Ignore the weirdly neon eyes, instagram filters make those precious baby blues looks crazy sometimes!)
Since Derek's birthday is the day after Valentine's I decided I would celebrate him every day until his birthday. I had seen 14 Days of Valentine's by Six Sister Stuff and thought it was just the cutest idea ever. I thought I would use their idea as inspiration and tailor the daily gifts to my hubby's most favorite things. He really enjoyed it and I loved doing something extra sweet for the most incredible guy I know!
For Emerson I kept Valentine's day relatively simple. We had some sweet V-day presents for him, a rubber duck, board book and the cutest little sunglasses you ever did see! I personalized a little mailbox for him that I will keep to fill with Valentine's through the years. Derek made steak and I made an arugula salad with dried cranberries and a delicious raspberry vinaigrette. We ate it up so fast I didn't pause to take a picture, it was that good! Man can cook an amazing steak... he's a keeper!
Here's Derek helping Emerson with his little Valentine's goodies! My most handsome Valentine's day dates. EVER.
Mommy and her little prince charming! Seriously adorable, melts my heart!
Celebrating a day devoted to love with the loves of my life was so sweet. Sometimes I just stop and look around and say a little prayer. "Thank you Lord for all you have given me! You are a loving God and I am SO grateful!" Hope your heart day was just as happy! XOXO <3
