Budget Friendly Date Night Ideas

Welcome to Day 5 of 14 Days of Valentines! Today, I want to talk about budget friendly date night ideas but before I get into that, I do have a small confession to make. While I am doing a 14 Days of Valentines, I don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day itself. I like to decorate for the holiday, I like baking for the holiday, and there’s a multitude of children’s crafts and activities that I enjoy doing. But as far as celebrating Valentine’s Day in terms of buying gifts or giving gifts- no thanks. I’ve always felt that Valentine’s Day was becoming too commercialized and I’m not really a materialistic person. Plus, if you’re just going to reserve this one day of the year to go…

20+ Delicious Valentine’s Day Desserts

For day 4 of 14 Days of Valentines, I wanted to share a few of my top picks for desserts. There are hundreds, if not thousands out there but these really stood out to me for a variety of reasons. I’m sharing 28 delicious Valentine’s Day desserts with you today, but, just like the dishes and drinks– don’t feel as though you have to limit yourself to just Valentine’s Day. You could also prepare these for an anniversary, for a birthday, date night in, or any day of the year that you want to make more special.

Valentine’s Day Dishes and Drinks

Welcome to Day 3 of 14 Days of Valentines! Today, it’s all about the food we eat and the drinks we drink. Desserts will be in their own post and I’ll also feature Kid Friendly desserts next week.

Gift Basket Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Welcome to Day 2 of the 14 Days of Valentines series! Today I wanted to touch on something that almost ties into an early career ambition of mine. When I was a SAHM with Sweet B, I wanted to start my own home based business. I looked into direct selling and actually got pretty far with Avon and Home Interiors but I waned to do something else. One of the options I considered was gift baskets. Gift baskets are a great idea for anytime of the year but I love them especially at this time of the year. Whether you’re buying a gift basket from a company or you’re making it yourself, a gift basket is sure to be an appreciated gift. With that said,…
