What Do You Love?

Happy Valentine's Day!  It is funny to me what a polarizing holiday this is.  People either love it or hate it.  They are either running around trying to purchase the perfect present or complaining about the commercialism of the whole thing.  It makes some recognize the love they have and others remember how lonely they are.

I think Valentine's Day is fab.  It is a day to think about all of the things you love.  I love Champagne, chartreuse, my mom, catalogs and magazines, ultra fine point Sharpies, kindness, my niece, crab legs, looking at calendars, planning vacations, my fabulous friends, cashmere, courage, triple creme cheese, my dad, heated seats, the perfect baguette, Lana Del Rey, a good speak easy, my sister, attention to detail, things that are soft, kombucha, leggings, snow, courage, and a whole heck of a lot of other things.  I don't need a holiday to remember all of the things I love, but I kind of like that there is a holiday dedicated to all of them.  Jesus has a holiday.  MLK has a holiday.  Even Columbus has his own holiday, and it sounds like he was kind of a butt head.  Love should certainly have its own holiday too.

So, happy Valentine's Day.  What do you love?

Blogging about Bloggers in the Blogosphere

When I decided I wanted to have an online business, my good friend, Montana Belle, sat me down and said, "You need to blog almost everyday and you need to Twitter/Tweet/Not be a Twit." I have always enjoyed blogging (I like to hear myself talk, I guess) and the Tweeting is finally starting to make sense. But there are days when, even I, don't have anything to say. Blogging is a commitment just like anything else. If you start slipping, you become irrelevant and people stop reading.

One thing I do when I don't have anything interesting to talk about is look at other people's blogs. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, right? It is AMAZING how talented and creative people are. And when you start reading a good blog, it indefinitely introduces you to a treasure trove of other good blogs. One I recently discovered and am currently obsessed with is www.eatdrinkchic.com.

How cool are these Valentine's printables?
