Happy Valentine's Day

Since Matti was in Philly for Valentine's Day, and also because we would never spend the money to eat ON Valentine's Day, we decided to go to Shanty on the Shore the weekend before he left for a lobster dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day. So fun. So yummy. We have lobster twice a year - when we go with his family to Maine every year and again on a special occasion - either a birthday or anniversary. We. Love. Lobster.

I know some people are anti-V-Day and think it's just a greeting card holiday. But not me. I think it's a day when you tell the people you love just how much they mean to do and how you could never imagine your lives without them. At least that's how I feel on every V-Day. I think Matt and I are pretty good about telling one another how much they mean to us and telling the girls a few times (ok, a hundred times!) a day how much we love them. But let's face it - life is crazy. Everyone is busy all the time - dentist appointments, PTA, work meetings, cleaning, cooking, hosting dinner parties - sometimes in all the chaos, it's easy to forget that you really need to tell your partner how much they mean to you. And I think V-Day is the perfect day to slow down and just remind the ones you love how much they truly mean to you...

Happy Valentine's Day, baby! xoxo
