I used to love it more than I do now... but I still like an excuse to be romantic. :) I can definitely relate to being a teen and being left out too though.

We didn't do anything big. We just gave the girls some gifts, went out for pizza and I gave Rory a card and a bag of candy. You should express your love everyday. I did see a meme that said something like you definitely know your relationship status on Valentine's Day and how it is shoved in your face.Sparkles and Latteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12963473872202413760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-73899603488613549102018-02-15T14:01:25.572-05:002018-02-15T14:01:25.572-05:00You are so caring.

My sophomore year I did but the one they handed out was practically dead and missing petals. I didn't care though because I felt so special. School can already be a scary thing so I could see myself being that mom that will send something for my boys. I do find that I enjoy the holiday a lot more with kids.

I think they're a reminder for me of God's love shown to us in SOOO many ways; as I've gotten older, at 24 years old, God has given me such a reassurance of His steadfast love that Valentine's Day has become an even more exciting joyful holiday to celebrate because we can always celebrate His unconditional awesome endless love shown to us through Jesus Christ dying on the cross and then rising again to give us HOPE in seeing Him again some day soon!!!!! <3 you and love this reminder Becca.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997485869965347851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36253142.post-76700412780131686592018-02-14T14:21:15.468-05:002018-02-14T14:21:15.468-05:00I remember feeling totally left out of Valentine&#...I remember feeling totally left out of Valentine's Day growing up in school. Now that I have Zoe, I am going to do something fun for her each holiday to let her know she is loved....and have her take something sweet to her friends to share that love and support. Chris and I both agree that Valentine's isn't our favorite. I make lasagna every year and we exchange cards, but we dont make it a big thing. He actually surprised me today and asked me to go to lunch with him which I enjoyed so much! I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

People did not get "real" flowers from a flower shop but that's probably because my small town didn't have a flower shop. :D But there definitely can be a ton of pressure and I remember feeling badly when I was younger if I didn't have someone to celebrate with on Valentine's Day. Now that I'm older, it doesn't bother me so much. I still want to find my special guy because I want to share my life with someone, but I'm old enough where I have also made bad choices to not be alone and realize that being alone isn't all that bad. Plus Max.

This really resonates with me because I too was one of the girls always left out at school in not receiving roses or chocolates or whatever it was, and it always stinks to be left out. But knowing just as soon as I got home that my parents would do something special and make me feel loved always made everything okay. And of course having the love of a heavenly father means everything <3 Happy Wednesday, friend!

As someone who works at a school, I ma seeing the hearts up on random lockers, and although I don't work in the high school part of the school anymore,I bet they are selling candy, hearts, flowers or something for a club like you mentioned (or maybe not). Regardless, although a nice gesture, I think that stuff should be banned at school because it could indeed make others feel inadequate. Every year I get my 6th graders a pack of valentine candy and put their name on it and have it on their desk when they come in (i'm so mean, I only do it for the 6th graders...haha. But I don't think the other grades know)! I know it's only a little something but I m reminded that for some kids, this may be the only little piece of appreciation they will get on this day. <br />When we were in school, I remember our mom always giving us fun stuff that she ordered off her Avon Lady at work. They may have only been those fun little valentine chapsticks and some nail Polish, but we liked it!<br /><br />But I agree, we should show this love all year long, not just when the calendar says or when Hallmark wants to sell more cards! I say this about the Thanksgiving Holiday too! Have a good day friend! Fairytales and Fitnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771224209536216240noreply@blogger.com
