I had such high hopes for a Valentine's day post. And then I realized - I am not having a Valentine's day party - but I want to have one! I read on another blog about a Valentine's Baking Party and I want to have one next year. I am so inspired by other bloggers and their creative ideas. That is one of my motivations behind this blog. Not only do I want to continue my life as an event planner, but I want to be the person who has super creative parties, and lots of them!
This Valentine's Day was different as my husband and I just had lost his father. We usually do something unique, and then I make a Valentine's Day M&M heart big cookie. It has been a tradition since we have been dating, so I did not disappoint. The heart cookie was made (and pictures of it will be posted soon!). Other then that, we did not have any real plans. We walked around the mall, I found some super cute cheap shoes, and we went to Chili's! After that we wandered around Target and picked out our own Valentine gifts for each other. I got a new coffee maker that was christened that night!
Not every party and every holiday needs to be perfect. I know a lot of people discuss the commercialism of Valentine's day, and if you know me, you know that I am a sucker for the commercialism. If there is a special coffee drink out at Caribou or Starbucks, I have one in my hand the next day. EVERYTHING tastes better with Holiday candies. Valentine's day and Easter candy colors are my favorite! So next year - there will be a pink and red party with my girlfriends. We will eat candy and make treats to share with others - or I will just have a simple girls night with games included with lots of Valentine's decoration. When I have kids I want them to fully experience each holiday.
Although this year's Valentine's day was a bit unconventional, it was one of my favorites.
I am starting to scheme up ideas for an Olympics party....come back for more on that soon!
