2020 Valentine's Day Special
Isn’t love a little different these days?
There isn't room in the budget for heart-shaped chocolates.
But isn't it more about commitment anyway? About humility?
And wouldn't you rather have an extra hour of sleep?
Or have your body to yourself without the kids hanging on it for just a moment?

Life didn’t turn out how you thought it would.
Love isn’t about traveling to exotic locations. Or about surprise grand gestures.
It’s coffee mini-dates watching the sunrise in the driveway.
It’s wrestling the littles after a sleepless night and full days’ work.
It’s cooking real food meals when the groceries and the cleanup seem monotonously never-ending.

Love is full of crumbs, sticky little fingers, + poison ivy.
It surely isn’t glamorous; smearing bezonite clay on your child’s poison ivy (while itching your own).
It’s date nights with half price pints walking around Lowe’s Market for groceries.
An awareness of the Five Love Languages, Facebook + coffee fasts, staring silently into the firepit.

What is love to you these days?
Honestly, it's not throwing your kids through a wall, when sometimes it feels like you want to.
It’s the kids running around naked, dripping bath water all over your bed they’re jumping on.
Your one-year-old feeding you salad one lettuce leaf at a time

It may not be all sunshine + roses, but isn’t right here, right now—your everyday love, time well-spent together—worth celebrating?
Isn't the goal to love your family to pieces, to create a home they feel secure in?
So let’s slow down, even just for an afternoon, to look around and document.
