I love you more than donuts ..


OK, so it is the big day .. Valentines Day. We don't actually 'celebrate it' in this house (if celebrate is the right word). We did once - I think the first time it rolled around at the start of our relationship. We were young and inexperienced I guess in all things commercial. Every day things maketh the relationship. Who washes the dishes when the other is tired. Who say's 'Great Dinner' when everything is burnt and tasteless. Every day thoughts and actions show more love than a bunch of flowers. Not to say I don't get flowers. My Mr does the food shop each week and sometimes he will get me a bunch of whatever looks nice from the supermarket. I plonk them in one of my (too) many vases and feel happy and loved.

But, as today is the day of LOVE, so to mark the occasions for others out there that are perhaps a bit more romantic than us 2 little ducks, here are some UNtraditional cards that might be perfect for your other half.

  1. I adore your descriptions Linda! So true ~ it is all about the silly little everyday kind deeds that are the true signs of love. And I had to chuckle at the burnt dinner observation! Whenever my son knows I have had a tough day, he tells me that our dinner is restaurant quality standard ~ to which my husband nods enthusiastically in agreement ~ you can always learn from the younger generation, it seems...

  3. We too don't celebrate Valentine's Day. I agree love should be around us everyday not shown once a year. I am fortunate I do have love around me everyday. Mimi xx

  5. Mimi - it's true. We are 'fortunate' if we have love around us everyday. Hope you had a lovely day anyhoo.

  9. Hi Tina .. you are too sweet.
    And Jane .. ditto to you.
    Thanks for both pressing the follow button.

    And Sara Louise - non-sappy. That's a much better term than me feeling un-romantic (-:

  10. I'm with you, the every day things we do for each other are romantic. But it's nice to surprise each other with something special every now and then. Supermarket flowers do it for me too! Rachaelxx
