Valentine's Baby

Today is my mom's birthday.

Having a Valentine's birthday suits Mom really well; she looks good in red, she savors a good box of chocolate, and she loves her family more than anything.

She displays her affection by working harder than you could imagine - Mom cooks and cleans. She answers endless wedding questions. She went joyfully to every voice recital and every basketball game. She has spent the last 17 years devoting hours and hours each day to my littlest brother.

Mom loves to have a good time. She taught us not to take ourselves too seriously. She taught us that family is most important, and she showed us how to find a bargain. She taught us about being selfless.

Happy birthday, Mom! We love you so much.

Right in the Heart

                               Dear Lovely Friends,

May your Valentine's Day be happy and bright.

xo,

But he left me..for the city of *Cleveland.*

Liz Lemon says it all.

Like I said, celebrate Love however it works for you. 
Happy Anna Howard Shaw Day to us all!

Dear Valentines!

Wishing you a day of celebrating those you love, however you please. If it means wearing two different reds or eating a ridiculously exorbitant chocolate dessert, then so be it. 

Happy, happy Love Day!

S-n-o-w!

I'm not sure why, but apparently Cleveland thinks it's news that another snowstorm is on its way. Instead of configuring heavy sweater ensembles and smuggling multiple pairs of wool socks out of John's drawer for the trek to work tomorrow, I've found other ways to amuse myself.

Need a Valentine's gift? Look no further, lovely friends.

I know I would personally swoon if given one of these little necklaces, so very sweet and tiny.
