Can you believe we are entering the second month of the year? I surely can’t. It seems like yesterday we were preparing for the holidays. Well, the time has flown and it is time to acknowledge February is upon us- I don’t want to, but I must. Now to get into February’s Monthly Happy Goals.
FEBRUARY’S MONTHLY HAPPY GOALS
1. Savor all that February has to offer! For instance, good weather, my hubby’s birthday, Valentine’s Day, and love.
2. It’s my husband’s birthday this month and we plan to celebrate ALL month long! With cake, unexpected excursions, movie nights, dance parties, and many more fun activities.
3. It’s the month of LOVEEE and to celebrate we must have many, many, many candle lit dinners for two. Dinner should be made into a big to do. We get so busy throughout the week and dinner time is the perfect opportunity to slow down and enjoy one another. And to do so I am planning many romantic dinners for two.
A romantic dinner for two doesn’t have to be such a grand thing. For instance, at home make meals special. Turn on some music, turn the TV off, and dim the lights. Voila, you have a romantic dinner for two. If you’re feeling more ambitious move the meal outdoors on a patio or porch and add a few twinkle lights.
4. Make handmade Valentine goodies for family and friends. Create something pretty to handout for Valentine’s Day.
I was such a huge fan of Martha Stewart. Just how much of a fan? You could fine me on any given day making something published in her magazine or made on her morning show. I especially loved all the creations she made for the holidays. For instance, handmade cards, crafts, cookies, or other goodies for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s, Easter and so forth. I’d follow her religiously making everything she made and gifting them to friends and family. I haven’t done any of that in the last few years. Two-thousand eighteen is the year of change. No more excuses. I can’t blame the lack of time no longer. I just have to make the time and do it.
5. Don’t be shy and really get into the Valentine’s Day spirit. That means wearing everything and anything with hearts, anything pink or red is a YASSS, glittered anything is welcomed, and lace and ruffles are a must. Hey, you only live once and it’s time to seize the day!
I hope you have a splendid February filled with tremendous love, loads of candy, lovely goodies and romantic dinners. Let me know how you are spending your February and Valentine’s Day.
