Every Day is Valentine’s Day
Somehow I really enjoy this holiday. I used to give little cheesy valentines to my friends and family, but I have since upgraded to legit 5×7 Cards that are decked out with cutesy embellishments and hand-written words of love. I also love seeing baked goods decorated in pinks and reds, with jimmy sprinkles all over! And furthermore, I love decorating baked goods myself– heart shapes and everything! I just love the festivities that come with this holiday of love!
In knowing how much I enjoy that aspect of this holiday, you’ll be surprised to know that Trevor and I aren’t too into Valentine’s Day. The reason why we feel that way is because I think people look at this day as a time to tell someone how much they care about them, when really they should be expressing those feelings all the time! But then I thought about another point… Maybe we all need a day designated for declarations of love!
Maybe couples need to have at least one day each year (in addition to their anniversary) completely about celebrating love for each other. Yes we say “I love you” every day. Yes we already give little surprises and gifts to each other on occasion. However, there’s nothing wrong with having a special day dedicated to that right?
We all have our own perspectives on Valentine’s Day. For me, it doesn’t necessarily mean flowers, chocolates, or all the other cliche sentiments. It means I’m head over heels in love with someone and I’m going to make sure they know it today, and every day! Because in our house, EVERY DAY is Valentine’s Day ;)
Keepin’ our love fresh on a daily basis,
Amy

Kimball Franklin Phillips I agree, flowers would be nice, or chocolate.
Try to do something on that special day to make your valentine ,,,feel good about themselves….no matter what it takes! Flowers ..yes…with a true complement! Chocolate probably …with a positive vibe meant for her or him!
Been married over a year now and we make sure to kiss every morning and every night. It’s completely habit. My job allows me to meet up with her and go on random lunch dates on occasion. It’s always fun to drop in and surprise her and spend an hour of our day together
We have a little journal that we switch off writing love notes then hiding for the other to find :)
I love when i come home from work and my husband leaves a trail of sweet notes that leads me to our bedroom and he pops out and smothers Me in kisses then dances with me around the house!
To make every day feel like Valentine’s Day I love to tell Zack that I love him and show him by keeping a clean home, cooking dinner, and doing dishes while he does homework. It’s usually something that we do together but with him so busy doing homework, I like to take things off of his plate. I also tell him everyday how grateful I am that he works so hard for us! I hope he knows how much I love and appreciate him! :)
I love to give my husband surprise massages when he’s doing hw, dishes, or simply when he’s had a long day. While he’s at work I blow up his phone with sweet txt messages. He loves it! But my husband gets really creative when it comes to showing his love for me. He buys a dozen roses and tapes them in places in our apt where he knows ill go for me to find. Taped along with each rose is a message of love. For our first anniversary he woke up extra early and made me breakfast. It was the sweetest thing seeing a pancake shaped as a one. He’s the sweetest man I know.
To make each day Valentines Day worthy, I plan to start leaving secret love notes around for Zachary (my FIANCE…sorry, I love saying that;)) to find. Even if they’re as cheesy as a note on the fridge saying, “Dang boy, I love if when you wash dishes!” or as sweet as, “You are the sunshine in my life.” Love is a grand thing!
Even though I can’t win the giveaway, I wanted to share what I like to do to make eery day feel like Valentines: after we say our nightly prayers, I tuck Amy in and hold her and tell her how much I love her…and she does the same. It is the best.
