Valentines Day

the more i get older my view of special dates changes.

the way i want to celebrate or the gifts i would like the receive have completely done a 180.

presents always use to take priority (the more the better) and a smchancy dinner/dessert/activity.

because jevan and i don't have much money 

a simple text message throughout the day makes me just as happy.

making a breakfast (even if it's the only one jevan can cook)

the breakfast i'm referring to is french toast.

getting craft made from the boys during their day at school.

braxton running in to give me a flower he picked "especially for you mum."

makai telling me he loves me at random points throughout the day.

making heart pancakes with zayden for morning tea.

these are my most favourite ways to spend my special dates in my life.

don't get me wrong i still LOVE presents

and when we are rich again (when my boys are all grown)

i will love getting them again.

but for now i am learning that the most simple acts mean the absolute most to me.

and those are the memories that i will treasure long after all my boys are grown.
