got nailed by a dripping roof on my way to take pictures…just some water on that sleeve

Since we have a toddler, we’re opting to stay in this Valentine’s Day. We’ve done that a few times over the years, and I have to say that I kind of like it. Yes, I have to make dinner and do the dishes (actually, no I don’t…Philip always does the dishes for me, that sweet guy), but it’s kind of nice to not have to find a babysitter, not fight the crowds, and be able to enjoy the evening in the comfort of my own home.

However, I will still be getting fancied up, expecting flowers (which I know I’ll get), and making Philip take a picture with me, because that’s how I roll.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Oh, and Peanut has a special Valentine’s Day message for you:

Did you die from the cuteness?! I did.

    I'm kind of in love with this look. I think I need to find myself a pink infinity scarf. The combo is lovely on you.
    Also the baby! So cute!

  15. Oh my gosh, little peanut is too cute! And I love, love your outfit. The gray with the bright pants and scarf is perfect.

  16. BiblioMOMia says:

    You are beyond adorable–absolutely love the slouchiness of the top and scarf with the skinny pants.

    We're staying in too–also because of toddler. More fun to get to have both of my boys around me today, right? Your little man is certainly cute stuff! Found you through EBEW–stop by and say hi if you have a second. Always love meeting new people. Happy Valentines to you, chickadee.
