Besides my birthday 🎂🎉, Valentine’s Day 💌 is my absolute favorite holiday.
Give me the pink 🩷
Give me the hearts 💕
Give me all the lovey, exuberant energy 💖✨
There’s something about this day that just feels happy 😊 It’s soft 🌸 It’s sweet 🍫 It’s intentional 💗 It reminds us to slow down 🕊️ and celebrate love in all its forms 💞
I love spending it with my husband, Anthony 🥰💍 He really does good in the “make it special for me” department 💝 He knows I appreciate the little details 🎀 The thoughtfulness 💌 The effort 💕 That’s what makes it meaningful.
For the second year in a row ✌️💘, I got to play Cupid 🏹💌 and surprise my attorney offices with Valentine treats 🍓🍫🎁 I packed up special goodies and spread the love 💖 The staff loved it, which filled my heart 🩷
And one of my favorite parts? My dad helps me pack every single treat 🩷👨👧 We sit there assembling bags 🛍️, laughing 😂, talking 🗣️, just enjoying the moment 🤍 He loves being part of it.
Truthfully, my dad was my first Valentine 💌👨👧💖
So still having him around 🙏 still sharing these traditions 🎀 still creating memories together 📸… it means the world to me 🌎🩷 That kind of love is something you never take for granted 🤍
Gift giving is my love language 🎁💝 Always has been. I love thinking about someone 🤔💭 and finding something that makes them smile 😊 It does not have to be extravagant 💎 It just has to be thoughtful 💗
Now let me be honest. When I was single 💔, Valentine’s Day was hard. It felt depressing 😔 It felt like everyone else had someone and I didn’t.
For all my single ladies out there 👯♀️💞, I see you 👀 I’ve been there. I know it can sting. I am sending you the biggest hug 🤗🩷
This holiday can amplify whatever season you’re in 🌷 If you’re in love 💑, it feels magical ✨ If you’re lonely, it can feel heavy 🤍
And yes, I do think it has become way too commercialized 🛍️💳 just like most American holidays 🇺🇸 The pressure 😬 The spending 💵 The expectations 📦 It can be a lot.
But even knowing that, I still love it 🩷
I love the pretty pinks 🎀🌸 I love the bold reds 🌹❤️ I love the reminder that love deserves to be celebrated 💖🎉
Love your spouse 💍
Love your kids 👶
Love your friends 👯♀️
Love your parents 👨👩👧
Love your people 🤍
Love yourself 💗✨
And while we’re talking about love… 💕 Maybe this is also the year you fall in love with a house 🏡💘
The one that gives you butterflies when you pull into the driveway 🦋🚗
The one where you can see your future dinners 🍝, holidays 🎄, and quiet Sunday mornings ☕ The one that just feels right 🩷🏡
Finding “the one” is a lot like dating 💕 You look 👀 You swipe 📱 You tour 🚪 You compare 📊 You compromise 🤝 And then one day… you just know 💘
So if you’re ready to start a new relationship with a home 🏡💞, I’m your girl 💁♀️✨ Swipe right on your future 👉📱 Send the text 💬 Start the conversation 🗣️
Let’s find the one that makes your heart skip a beat 💓🏡. Because love lives where you feel at home 🏡🩷✨
