Ah February! The month of love, where thoughts turn to hearts and flowers, soppy songs are churned out on the radio for those looking for love/embracing love/suffering heartbreak, or a silent reminder to those still looking to keep up the good work. It can be time to stop and take stock of what's important in life, embrace the important people and appreciate all the types of love that surrounds you, while the commercial world cranks it up a notch in the hopes of cashing in on the heart.
I've let myself relax into the new year, there were no diets, no dry month, no over committing myself. My plan was to ease myself in to 2014 without any pressure, to concentrate on just having fun, and now that February is here I'm raring to go. I have fitness and health on my mind, getting organised, travel plans, and business stuff to get on with – all fitting around this growing boy of mine.
For those who don't know me I'm a total hearts and flowers girl, living life through rose tinted glasses and I always get sucked in by the industry's push for love. So I'm sure there will be some Valentine craft ideas coming up this month on the blog.
Here's to a dreamy month!
aww I'm a sucker for valentines and all things romantic also! x
ReplyDeleteYay! Another hearts and flowers girl, I like it! x
DeleteI'm so pleased it's February and winter will be over soon!
ReplyDeleteTell me about it, there's only so much grey and rain a girl can take! x
DeleteHave a great february! It's not my fave month normally, but trying to stay positive there are lots of good things about feb too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm trying to make the most of this short month by making fun plans and staying positive. I can't wait for the weather to change! x
DeleteFebruary is one month closer to spring! Plus I love the hearts and mush that Valentine's Day brings ♥
ReplyDeleteExactly my thoughts! Plus I love how everyone seems to go a bit gooey eyed this month :) x
DeleteIt's great to be a hearts and flowers girl, nothing wrong with living through rose tinted glasses! Nice to see someone positive for once :)
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely, I think it makes everything seem that little bit nicer :) x
Deletelove valentines too - february is a great month :)
ReplyDeleteSo much love in the air in February and a little step closer to warmer weather too x
DeleteI like to pretend I don't care about Valentines day and everything that goes with it, but I am a bit of a sucker for romantic gestures, or at least some pretty flowers. But I do think it shouldn't be just limited to one day! In fact I would be happier to get them on any other day! But I love a good holiday and all the craft ideas they create so am looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteI agree that it should be more than one day, although I guess as parents it's easy to get swept into the daily routine of kids and not think about your the half as much! Pretty freshly cut flowers are my favourite though, the bigger the bloom the better :) x
DeleteWhat a great way to look at February. Till recently I've thought of it as 'the month that is only marginally better than January' - but I've been getting stuck into Valentines crafts and planning things for my and my fella to do for valentines - and it's been a real lift. Here's to a fabulous february :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks and you too! I'm glad you are looking forward to enjoying this short month. It's so much fun acting like a giddy teen again :) x
DeleteI love February for exactly the same reasons x
ReplyDeleteYay another girl after my own heart x
DeleteAww lovely and hearts and flowers are my fav :)
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a big bloom of freshly cut flowers! I hope you have a great February x
DeleteHope you have a great February!
ReplyDeleteThanks you too! Enjoy this short month, one step closer to spring :) x
DeleteI am not a girly girl so too much flowers, hearts and fluffiness just isn't for me
ReplyDeleteI'm not girly when it comes to pink and looking all pretty but I do like the romantic stuff, it can even be the smallest of things. Hope you have a great feb x
DeleteSpring and love in the air. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteExactly, it's a perfect combination x
DeleteDoh... I have to find another gift idea. I suck so bad at those. can it be March already :P
ReplyDeletelol that is the downside, trying to think of good present ideas. I hope you found one! x
DeleteI'm so glad it's February - that little bit closer to spring x
ReplyDeleteSpring is such a great month isn't it, everything full of life. Just lovely x
DeleteNot really into Valentines...but looking forward to spring and summer!
