Saying Sunday- Valentine's Day

 

It's no secret how much I love Valentine's Day! To some it may be just another "made up holiday" but I love the mushiness! I love the idea of celebrating love. I love devoting a day to just hanging out, one on one, eating great food, and being romantic.

 

 

As an emotional pregnant lady, I began the morning crying over thinking about Valentine's Day 9 years ago.....my husband made me this huge card out of poster board (that year I told him he had to make me a card and not buy one). He used pictures of us to tell a funny love story and it is still my favorite card :)

 

This year, my love and I headed out in the unexpected snow slash wind storm to downtown Baltimore to the new Family Meal restaurant. We have previous dined at the Frederick location and were happy to have this new one open close to home.

 

Great food, reasonably priced, and not fancy- this was a great place to have dinner on a night were dining out can be over crowded, over priced, and rushed.

 

We sat next to a couple who have been married for over 28 years and we ended up talking with them throughout the meal- literally dined with strangers- but great conversation!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Valentine's Day 2014

 

 

If you hate Valentine's Day, you are either:

 

A. Single

 B. Unhappy

C. All of the above

 

I love love love Valentine's Day. Sure you should tell your significant other you love them everyday, but it's great to have a holiday devoted to love <3

 

We celebrated on Saturday this year (the day after Vday). It fit better with out work schedules and restaurants always seem less crowded after the holiday.

 

This year I surprised my hubs with a day trip to NYC! He's been, but never saw Times Square, Empire State Building, and all the other amazing things the Big Apple has to offer!

 

 

 

He gave me a little blue box, with some adorable silver heart earrings....he knows me all too well.

 

 

 

During the day I checked out Blow Dry Bar, "Hot Air" in Pikesville. They boast a blowout in 45 minutes, however I already knew I was in for an hour and a half appt. with my thick long hair. The staff is super friendly and did a fantastic job (shout-out to Bert!)

I used a Groupon...only $19 compared to the regular price of $35.

Go here for the deal!

 

 

BCBG Evert Rouched V-Neck Dress

 

 

I found this gem in my closet, which admitting this probably indicates I have a problem with shopping! A brand new BCBG dress, I purchased a year ago on sale and forgot all about!

It fit like a glove, very flattering, and perfect for a cold winter night out!

I paired with a pair of Louboutins and an awesome black chain necklace I purchased 8 years ago at a boardwalk jewelry store in Ocean City Maryland.

 

 

 

We checked out a restaurant neither of us have been to before, The Tasting Room in Frederick Maryland. Food, drinks, and service were all top notch.

We loved floor to ceiling windows and people watching on Market Street!
