Well, Valentine’s Day is over and I didnt get a chance to tell everyone Happy Valentine’s Day so here is me saying Happy Late Valentine’s Day to all of you.

After reading a few blogs yesterday, I found out that quite of few of you don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day and some of you do celebrate Valentine’s Day. My husband and I are in the first group. We don’t really participate in Valentine’s Day! We aren’t what you would call anti-valentine’s day either! What I mean by this is that we don’t go out and buy each other big expensive gifts to show our love for each other! We are married so of course we love each other! I agree with Kelly Rippa on the whole Valentine’s Day idea! She said Valentine’s Day is for “dating People”. It’s not for “married people”. Exactly! We tell each other Happy Valentine’s Day and that’s about it!

Anyway, little man decorated his Daddy a cake for Valentine’s Day and he made us cards! So, although we didnt really participate in Valentine’s Day yesterday, we still had cake and ice cream.

Last night my husband and I were reminiscing of when we were younger and he was telling me about how he felt so pressured when we first started dating to get me an expensive gift for Valentine’s Day. He said he felt like he had to compete with everyone else and what they were buying for their girlfriends. I’m so glad we are beyond that now! I wish more people would realize sooner that expensive gifts do not equal love and that spending time with the one(s) you love means so much more than any gift ever could!

Did you participate in Valentine’s Day this year? If you did, did you feel pressured to buy an expensive gift?
