to my Valentine’s with LOVE <3

Valentine’s Day will always be one of my favorite holidays… aside from the usual amazing ness, it’s when Derrek proposed to me! I WILL NEVER FORGET that day or the time leading up to it. Derrek has been my best friend from the moment we started talking. He has changed my life in SO many ways, I could never list them all. He is compassionate, kind and giving.

Be still my heart!
Valentine’s Day is almost here y’all! Who else is getting pumped about all the hearts and candy? Nolan loves any excuse to celebrate, and ever since we walked into Target a few weeks ago and he saw the décor everywhere, the questions have come back-to-back! I love hearing the excitement he builds up about celebrating, and once I explained that he can give out Valentine’s to his friends, he’s been all about this holiday. When I was a kid I used to LOVE the chalky candy hearts with messages written on them, but I have since learned those little candies and others are packed with processed sugars and other yucky ingredients. Like Halloween, Easter, and Christmas, a sugar…
