Valentine’s Day…whether you love or hate the holiday/occasion, it’s going to come every year.
We honestly aren’t huge Valentine’s Day people, meaning we don’t go all out and buy each other gifts or do anything too crazy. Usually it’s a nice excuse to get grandma and grandpa to watch the boys and we go out for a nice dinner. Now that restaurants are opened back up, we still might do that.
I also think since having kids, it has made me enjoy the occasion more. The kiddos love giving and receiving special treats, and it’s a nice way to break up what can tend to be long January and February months. I also have enjoyed the more recent Galentine’s Day marketing that retailers have focused on. Besides, the day is really about celebrating your loves, and that must include your ladies(or guys)!
I have rounded up several gift ideas for the ride or die women in your life, as well as your significant other, crush, lover, or whoever else might fit in the category. Most of these things are products or brands that I own and love, and a few are ones I would love to try. Enjoy!

“I want to be your favorite hello, and your hardest goodbye.”
Anonymous
I am 35 year-old full-time working wife and mama to two boys--Brody (8) and Bennett (4). I was born and raised in Canada (or America's hat as some people call it), and moved to the U.S. for college where I met my now husband. We currently live in Minnesota, so basically still Canada, and we just built a home last summer. 2020 has been so hard for so many people, and while I am fortunate to be in the situation I am in, it has really made me reflect about what I want in life and how I can continue to bring joy into it. I have realized what brings me the most joy is seeing the people that I care about happy, and also connecting with people on a personal level. Fast forward to here, I want to create a community that I can connect with by sharing products and ideas I love from home to fashion to wellness, but also opening up about moments in my life that have helped me grow, even if they aren't my happiest ones. My hope is that you too can find things here that bring more joy into your life.
