It’s one of my favorite holidays ♥

{besides my birthday, Thanksgiving & Xmas, that is}

Valentines Day is the one day out of the entire year that you won’t get bagged on for being totally and completely mushy. I love that everything and everyone around the web today is speaking the love language. These are just a FEW of my favorite Valentines Day posts out in the interwebz ♥

#1. Some adorable coffee cup wrappers with an extra lovey dovey message. Go download your own template and share with someone you love.

#2. I’m a sucker for prints. Especially when they’re all about love. I could have every single one of these and be one happy girl.*hint hint* =)

#3. Hearts on walls. I could die happy. I really want to do the Polaroid heart sometime in the near future. I’ve been shooting a lot with my Instax so hopefully I can have enough photos to do it soon!

ps. Elizabeth Anne Designs has a perfect Valentines Day post up so be sure to browse through the whole post ♥

#4. Go print out your free Valentines Day heart print! How adorable is this? You can change the colors of the hearts to match your decor and everything!

#7. Need a good playlist for today? I have THE PERFECT one!! Lydia from Ever Ours made the most perfect mix! I’ve been listening to it all weekend long!

Go listen to it NOW. Put it on repeat all day and hug your lover ♥

Here’s Darren’s V-Day gift. I wrapped a copy paper box & realized that the poster I got for him wouldn’t fit inside. So I sat and pondered about what the heck to do with it. Then *ding ding* I would make it and arrow going through a heart! My “arrow” is a little wonky but you (and he) get the idea. My mom was astonished by my creativity =)

I spent the weekend at the coast with my boy and pup. We explored the area of Montana De Oro yesterday and holy mother of all things beautiful!!!! That place is absolutely gorgeous. We could not stop ooing and ahing each corner we went around! I took a ton of photos with my iPhone (& dlsr, & polaroid) and used Instagram to edit them! Here’s a little collage of our afternoon!! The Park overlooks all of Morro Bay and has the most insanely beautiful view of the sunset. There were a TON of people there at sunset shooting photos!

We stopped in the trees and used my new remote and shot photos!! It was SO fun and these pictures make me grin ear to ear ♥

To make this day {& post} even more mushy, here are some sweet lyrics from Lydia’s Valentines Mix.

Love, it’s a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you

Love, I don’t need those things
I don’t need no ring
I don’t need anything
But you with me
‘Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you

Yeah, it’s a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I will love you
I’ll love you, I’ll love you

So won’t you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won’t you be my honey bee?
Giving me sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

Happy Valentines Day my sweet friends ♥
