Do you remember that time in school where you made your own DIY Valentines Card? You made one for your Mom, your Dad, or most likely you made ONE card for the both of them. With such youthful gusto, plenty of glue and glitter and endless supply of creative energy, we all made those pretty sweet Valentines cards that could rival Hallmark and made our parents tear up and beam with pride. 

Did you make one for your friends too?

#VALENTINESDAY #GIFTGUIDE: A DIFFERENT KIND OF GIFT GUIDE

Growing up, I recall those Valentines Day where we gave freely little home made cards and little gifts (for home made Valentines Day gift, try A Pop of Red’s DIY Necklace as a sweet and thoughtful present to loved ones)  to everyone: parents, teachers, friends. The notion of Valentines, while obviously were meant for lovers primarily, were not limited to just those involved in affairs of the heart. Of course, we’d get surprise gifts like heart-shaped chocolates (try these home made Valentines Day Brownie Parfait from Just A Trace or these Valentine’s Day Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies  from the Ottawa Mommy Club), stuffed toy bears bearing red hearts and pretty sweet flowers from secret admirers but we also get and give the same to friends.

DO YOU GIVE VALENTINES DAY GIFT TO FRIENDS

Over the years, that childhood tradition seems to have been forgotten and now it’s all about the pressure to feel the love and romance during Valentines Day. What will your husband/boyfriend do to surprise you on V-Day? Which restaurant will he take you and what should you wear? (If you’re staying in, check out these Top 10 Valentines Movies via Tales of Mommyhood and for outfit ideas on Valentines Day, check out my friend Rania’s expert post on how to rock Red and Pink this Friday at The Wardrobe Stylist.)

And while that’s incredibly exciting and all, most of the time (at least in my experience), the reality is less stellar than the anticipation.  This year, I’d like to go back to those days of also showing the  LOVE, not just to E, but also to my dear beloved friends.
