Simple, sweet Valentine's Day traditions...

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day! And yes, this post is a day late but sometimes life throws little hiccups in your plans and mine consisted of a sick little girl yesterday who just wanted her mommy. :) So, posting this a day late, I just wanted to share this cute tradition my stepmom (aka: "Momi" - a nickname I admittedly stole from my favorite character on Men in Trees) shared with me and that I just love and am, as of next year, officially stealing from her. When my brothers and sister were young, she'd start the day with heart-shaped pancakes. They also had red-themed lunches and knowing her, I'm sure the house was decked out with adorable decorations and there were other goodies to be found in the day.
Just proves the point - it doesn't have to be elaborate - just special. For us, yesterday, that consisted of: kids in bed early, yummy dinner (one of our quirky favorites - making breakfast for dinner - hashbrowns, scrambled eggs and toast with jam...yum!) and a good movie. I know, I know, not exactly Morton's and fine wine but definitely simple and sweet.


What does an artist do with sick kids on Valentine's Day? Take goofy pictures of her daughter's Valentine's!
