Happy Valentine's Day!I don't know about you, but I have just a little obsession with the day of love.... I think it goes back to when I was in Kindergarten and received my first Valentine from Zack. He was my first crush, and it made me feel like the most special girl in the class because HE gave ME a box of lifesavers that said "Be Mine". ~Swoon~ Yes, I realized he gave every other kid in my class the exact same thing, but it started my obsession with letting people know exactly how I feel about them.
Now that I have kids of my own, I try to make Valentine's Day about the love that their father and I have for them. They are my little Valentines (and much, much cuter than Zack might I add). So when it comes time to put away the Christmas decorations, I go right for the mushy-lovey decorations. It about kills Don. every. time. (He's kind of a sporty man- and he doesn't think that Ranger's Hockey and pink hearts mix). Soooo, I really try to make it cozy, but not go overboard on the romantic look.
So, without further ramblings, here's what my living room currently looks like:

A little specimen art (every one's doing it) and an embroidered love note (great tutorial from Smashed Peas & Carrots)
Just a little LOVE- made with paper mache letters and left over Christmas wrapping paper
My entire mantle: The Be Mine Banner is inspired my so many I've seen linked to nearly every Valentine's Post (mine is a little incomplete. I've still got the stitching to do around the letters but I needed it up for a party and just haven't gotten around to fixing it yet).
May your day be filled with the love of family and friends!
