Valentine's Day talk..

I wish I had an excuse as to why I didn't blog yesterday. I'm seriously in the worst blogging funk. Today I'm blogging because I might need some suggestions. I'm talking Valentine's Day...

 In my past relationship, I would always get my boyfriend something, make him a card and some treats. I wasn't sure how David felt about Valentine's Day and I didn't want to ask about celebrating because I didn't want him to feel like he needed to get me anything or do anything for me. If I haven't mentioned before, I love making people stuff and surprising them. I've never been the person to care if my boyfriend didn't buy me a card or flowers.

 I remember in Elementary school I absolutely LOVED Valentine's Day. I liked making a little mailbox and buying Valentine's Day cards to exchange with the class. I also love all the heart shaped candy and treats. I'm a sweets eater, can't help it. 

 The other day David asked me if I had work off or could get it off on Valentine's Day. Last night we went to grab a beer and he asked me if I was planning anything, I told him no and that we didn't even have to celebrate a silly Hallmark Holiday. Apparently he's planning something and wants to celebrate. He even gave me a present early, a Nike thermafit crew neck! So crap.. I need to start planning.  I've been pinning a lot to my Valentine's Day board...

I'm not going to do anything over the top, but I do want to do some cute things because I know he enjoys when I write him notes or make him something. So seriously, if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know!!

What are you planning to do for your significant other? Do you even celebrate Valentine's Day?

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...

Sleepy Momma

I did plan on posting this previous week and the week before.. however, I've been so incredibly exhausted and busy. I guess that's a great way of putting, welcome to mom life! To be completely honest, I'm so happy with where I'm at in life right now. Yes, there are things that are difficult to deal with and I know some of those things will always be hard. For a while I wished that I could go back well over a year ago and made a different decision. I don't wish that now because I've grown so much and gained things I could never give up. My strength, my motivation and my happiness is at an all time high. It feels amazing. In other news...  I finally got a kitten! She's such a sassy girl, but she can be the most loving thing at times! When she wakes up and I'm next to her or when I pick her up, she grabs my cheeks and kisses me.  The bottom left photo is a result of a playful kitty that needs her nails trimmed. If you foll...

Thoughts from an ex-blogger..

My desire to get back to writing has been so strong lately. I can't seem to figure out if I want to blog again. At the same time, I REALLY want to blog again. I've found comfort in my privacy. This comfort has made me uncomfortable with openly sharing details of my life. However, blogging always was there to provide me with an outlet to express my thoughts, feelings and emotions. The people I was able to connect with through blogging was always an incredible bonus. I didn't want to blog when I realized that people that I don't want to be part of my life were reading my blog posts. During this time I also stopped being active on Twitter and Instagram. I felt that it was unfair to me that specific people were able to catch up on my life via social media. There are many issue I face with returning to my blog. I need to allow myself to step outside of my comfort zone of keeping my life private. I need to be okay with the fact that some people, that shouldn't be ...
