Seasons of LOVE.

There is no escaping the fact that February is the designated month for LOVE. You can't go to the supermarket, drug store, or department store without being bombarded with images of hearts, roses, and candy. The Valentine's Day Grinches out there will tell you that this is a made up holiday designed to get you to purchase unnecessary things to prove your love for someone.

I on the other hand, love this time of year- like a newborn baby riding a kitten over a rainbow bridge love. I've signed Malone up for a handmade Valentine swap with other families in our Valley, my lot of vintage Valentine cards just arrived from Ebay (let the decorating begin!), I have plans with the girls to go support our friend performing in a local production of the Vagina Monologues, and Mike and I will celebrate the way we always do, with take out Chinese and an On Demand Movie of whatever we missed in the theater.

This year, the season for love is extra special. My IRL friend, Tamara Like Camera and some of her bloggie friends are hosting a Comment Love Challenge. Participating is simple- link up and comment away (keeping track of course). There is a pretty sweet prize to be won, but you'll have to read all about it and the challenge details on Tamara's page. Even if you don't win, chances are you'll get to know some great bloggers and maybe even gain a friendship or two!

  2. I love the idea of the Valentine swap! I think any time you put some extra effort into showing someone you love or even just like them is worthwhile, but I'm even pro-holidays like Sweetest Day for that reason. : )

  3. So glad you signed up! And the Valentines swap sounds super fun. I've always thought that it would be nice if people sent out Valentines like they do Christmas cards every year. :)

  4. We are actually going to send Valentine Cards this year. We, uh, didn't get around to sending our family card at Christmas....

  5. We did the swap last year too. Malone was a little too young to be excited about it, but this year he is going to be STOKED. Team Holiday here too!
