Valentines Day, Schmalentines day;-)

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE!

I trust you all had a love filled day, well, if you listen to the radio at all, I am sure that you all must have felt inundated with love songs...

I don't normally celebrate Valentines day, I do think it is a marketing ploy and to me, the best gifts are the ones that come from the heart, though a slab of chocolate lindt never goes amiss! But this year, I received a mixed CD, from Bean. They made them at school as Valentines gifts and I have to admit to having a little emotional moment.You see, I have never received a mixed CD/tape/MP3, you get my gist. And I just felt all sort of glowy inside. I listened to it, and of course, it is filled with love songs, music I really am not that fond of, but forever the songs will be imprinted on my heart. Bean's first Valentines day and she received a kiss!A kiss from one of the boys in her class and it really was too sweet for words. As well as a teddy bear and a tube of pink smarties(from me), because as she says 'pink is my favourite colour, mom!'.

The best thing about Valentines day, bringing Joy home and feeling love inside your heart. Let's try to take it into the real world!
