I hope you all have a beautiful day today, whether you’re sharing it with a significant other, family, or friends, or just spending the time to yourself.
For the past few years on Valentine’s Day, I’ve enjoyed that time with my family and friends. Making sure I texted or called them and let them know I was thinking of them. This year, though, I get to spend Valentine’s Day with my bf.
Our plans? Honestly, I have no clue, lol. I do know that we’ll be watching a movie, Beautiful Creatures. We’re both big movie fans and love to go to the movie theatre quite frequently. Besides a movie, I have no idea what we’re doing… and frankly? I don’t care. All I want to do today is what I enjoy doing most days, spending time with my love.
I remember years past when I would be the one to plan and make reservations for Valentine’s Day with my now ex-boyfriend. Not much fun. And, something I told myself I didn’t want to do anymore. So, this year, I’m glad that I haven’t had to do any of that :).
Over the past eight months, I’ve been on cloud nine falling in love with Nick. Without getting too mushy, I will say that he just makes me so happy and loves me even with all my faults and quirks... which there are definitely plenty of… quirks, not faults, hehe.
Last night, he surprised me with a bouquet of roses (my favorites). Not only that, he even bought the Brat a rose and a box of candy… I was almost tempted to keep it for myself, lol. In return, I gave him some goodies that Eli (@i_am_eli) and I had baked up that same night. There were cookies, brownies, and marshmallow filled cupcakes.
I’m looking forward to tonight, even if it be just the movies. As long as I get to watch with my love ;)
Before then, though, I’ll be texting friends and family, wishing them a Happy Valentine’s Day and wishing you all here one as well!
Ooh, and I have a giveaway for one lucky winner!! *yay* I’ll be giving away a $20 gc to Amazon and a dvd copy of Love Actually. Nick and I love that movie and I try to watch it once a year during the holidays.

Happy Valentine's Day. Really the traditions hubby and I do is.. He will ask (instead of assume) on what I want. So he'll tell me to order it and he'd do the same.
This way he doesn't get something that offends me or upsets me. I get what I want and he gets what he wants.
And since we have three boys and he usually works nights, it's hard to go out to dinner. So we save that for next month which is our anniversary.

No traditions for me...I will just be staying home & reading (and eating a little chocolate, lol)
I'm single so I'll be reading or watching tv/movie.
Happy Valentine's Day!!! No traditions, in fact hubby cooked hotdogs tonight since I worked late.
No traditions and this year I will be alone. My husband is away on a business trip. I will be enjoying a frozen lasagna, watching Project Runway, and then digging into my newest book.
I have traditionally never get anything or asked out for Valentine's Day. I do text and phone a few relatives. I just got back from seeing the movie "Beautiful Creatures" and it was fabulous. I have ben waiting for this movie. Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Every year my hubby of 18 years, gives me flowers. This year was extra special as I got beautiful non-grocery store roses!
No traditions-- I'm single, so I spent the day working on my dissertation, going to lab to set up tomorrow's experiments, and kicking ass in Krav Maga class. And getting stuck on my bicycle in the crazy traffic resulting from people going out and the massive snowstorm we had over the weekend!
we used to leave valentines on my nana's doorstep and then hide and watch her open the door. loved that tradition! thanks for the giveaway. love your website.

We just enjoy being together.

I have not seen Love Actually. It sounds cute though so I will have to check it out. I hope you and Nick enjoy the movies. Unfortunately my boyfriend isn't romantic at all and is so darn cheap. I got the dollar store bag of Hershey Kisses and a fifty cent card this year. I am trying not to do cartwheels from excitement. LOL
Happy Valentine's Day,

Our family do a card/candy swap. My hubby and I do the same and always try to spend some special time with each other too.
Happy Valentines day,

No, I've never really celebrated Valentine's Day, but this year my friends and I decided to somewhat eschew it and watch action movies :D
Happy Valentine's Day!
No I don't have any tales or traditions.
I like to make the roll out/ cut / frost sugar cookies in heart shapes and decorate them. Also we try not to go out since it is crazy - easier to stay in and go out a different time. Thanks for the giveaway chance.
No traditions. i only baked a double choco brownies for my hubby and our 2 boys :)
I always enjoy dinner out.
This morning my kids made me pink pancakes! I woke to the smell of bacon and coffee to find the kids and my hubby in the kitchen with everyone busy making me breakfast. The table was set and flowers were in the center as well as a single rose across my plate. I love my crazy little loving family!
I always cook a huge meal because he hates going out on Valentine's Day!
My husband and I usually go out for dinner.
No tales or traditions right now. When my husband was alive he would always make me dinner. It was great even if it was only eggs.
No big tales or traditions - depends on whether or not I have a significant other at the time - otherwise I'll spend the night with the parents and watching movies:)
Awwww! I am so happy that you are happy! Love Actually is one of the best movies ever :) We go see it in the theater every year because they show it for Christmas :)
No traditions! I've been single every Valentine's Day.
We always exchange cards & most times a gift. We also fix a special dinner together & clean up afterwards. Then it's dessert time & relaxing together watching TV. Thanks for the giveaway!
I like getting flowers and chocolate and I enjoy being with my loved ones!
Happy Valentine's Day. No traditions. We keep it simple. Maybe dinner and a movie.
Hi! I hope you had a nice day. I try to have little special treats and a special dinner for my kids to show them how special they are to me.

Can't say I have any traditions. I just usually take extra shifts at work so other people can celebrate.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the giveaway! I don't really have any traditions for Valentines.
Chocolate is an excellent Valentines tradition!
no plans just always give my boys a bit a candy.

watching romance's movies :)
We rarely go out on Valentines Day because it is just too crazy; the restaurants are crowded, the wait is long, the service is mediocre, I always feel rushed, and the prices can be inflated. It's just not worth it. ..... So we went out on Monday and had a very nice romantic dinner at one of my favorite restaurants. My hubby gave me a Chocolate Rose and I gave him his favorite candy (Snickers Minis) in a heart shaped box.

No tales or traditions. We went to watch our son play JV basketball and had hotdogs and nachos.

For us Valentine's day has always been a family event. My favorite tradition is sitting in a circle with all of our kids and telling each other what we love and appreciate about each other.

Okay after seeing this post it dawned on me that I never saw this movie, Love Actually. So I just got it from Blockbuster and plan to watch it tonight!
Hoping for a light hearted romance comedy...keeping my fingers crossed?!?!
