Romance!!!!!!!!

My husband dislikes Valentine's Day.... It may sound bad for me but in reality its not. His thoughts are that you should show that special someone your love always and not only on special dates such as Valentines, birthdays, anniveraries and Christmas. I agre with him 100%!!!

Im so into the romantic movie scenes and all the soap opera mushy stuff-- so Every once in a while (when we have some alone time) I let that romantic side of me come out ;) Im not sure if I do it more for me or for him but I love it!!! Yesterday my mother took Jacob for the night so I started thinking of ideas.... Had a short time to prepare before he got home but all in all it turned out great!  Just a peek of what I did ;)

Hallway leading to bedroom

Candles and rose petals :)


Lots and lots of red and white balloons covering the entire bedroom floor and more candles to set the desired mood.

 I would have done chocolate covered strawberries since I LOVE them but he doesn't so I did his favorite--- Mini Cupcakes!


He was surprised especially since it was so unexpected! I plan on doing a lot more romantic dates. Always good to keep that spark!
