Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just for couples; it’s a holiday celebrating love, and love can be celebrated in many different stages of life. I’m hoping these words will encourage you and lift your spirits because ultimately, our romantic love lives do not define who we are or determine our worth. At the end of the day, Valentine’s Day is just another day, and let’s be honest, the real holiday is the 15th when all the chocolate is on sale.

As a lot of you know, my husband and I bought our first home this past fall. Were we crazy to buy a house during a pandemic? Maybe. But we are so happy to finally be moved in and start making it our own. As you can see from the before pictures, we’ve pretty much got ourselves set up how we want, but a lot is still going to change as we renovate rooms, paint walls, and buy new furniture.

The new year is just around the corner, and being optimistic, I bought a new planner. So grab your pens and notebook and plan with me for 2021!
