Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!! What were you all up to? I worked from home today and Peter made me a fantastic breakfast of baked peaches and fresh whipped cream. Delicious!
Now Peter’s at work, but I have a surprise night of crafting Valentine’s for when he gets home. It’s kind of silly and pretty cheesy but I’m sure he’ll be into it.
Before I go, I have to ask: What do you all think of Anthropologie’s new bridal line BHLDN? I’m not a fan of the wedding gowns (probably a good thing since I don’t need one) but I love the shoes and some of the party dresses! I have one picked out as a potential bridesmaid ‘s dress. I’d love to hear what you all think of their new line! I’ll leave you with this picture from their website. I’m still not sure what the model is doing.

For Christmas, my sister-in-law, Vanessa, gave Peter and me the Q & A a Day by Potter Style. The five year journal prompts a question a day with ample space for five answers. Each year, you are meant to answer the questions and then start over at the beginning of the book on January 1st. Vanessa gave us this thoughtful gift so that Peter and I could go through it and answer the questions together. I presume that we’ll be shocked by how we change over the first five years of our marriage!
Because each slot begins with “20__” you can start the book at any time during the year, making it a great gift for Valentine’s day! Peter and I enjoy answering our question together each night. Sometimes our answers speak to our individual situations and sometimes they reflect on where we are as a couple. Regardless, it usually sparks a fun coversation before we go to sleep.

Thanks Vanessa!
I’ve been trying to think of what to do for Peter for Valentine’s Day, but instead I keep finding things that I would love to receive myself. My mother always taught me that I should always give people gifts that I would want to receive myself, but somehow, in this situation I don’t think that rule applies. Let’s take a look.

{Paper Finger}
{Sew, Mama, Sew!}
{Pretty Peonies}
No, definitely not boy gifts, but they would be great for a friend and several of them could easily be reproduced. Head over to Sew, Mama, Sew! for a tutorial on how to make the hand-stitched valentine.
What are you giving your significant other for Valentine’s Day?
