Date Night Ideas Jar to Celebrate Love All Year Long

This Date Night Ideas Jar is the perfect Valentine's Day Gift for your sweetie. Download this free printable with 52 weekly date ideas.

Valentine’s Day is my absolute favorite holiday of the year. It may sound silly, but a day that simply celebrates love sounds like the perfect holiday to me!

I have always loved Valentine’s Day - even when I was single - and go over and above on celebrating this great holiday the way some do for Christmas!

This year I am getting started early to make this our best Valentine’s Day ever.

Even though this is technically our ninth Valentine’s Day together - it is our first as a married couple. Mike and I finally wed in the most perfect ceremony ever last October surrounded by our closest family and friends.

Even though we have been together for a long time, officially becoming husband and wife was absolutely one of the best days of my life.

Even though we said that “nothing would change” when we got married after having been together so long - the truth is everything changed, and we have been living in what feels like a constant honeymoon ever since.

Since this is our first Valentine’s Day together as husband and wife I want to continue this “honeymoon” all year long.

I wanted to come up with a gift for him that would show him that I want to celebrate our love every day - not just on Valentine’s Day. I headed up to Walmart for inspiration.

Walmart has an impressive line of Valentine’s Day products for every couple - whether you have been “together forever” or just getting started.

They offer the newest selection of Hallmark Signature Cards for every occasion - but especially Valentine’s Day! I could spend hours just reading through them all! I loved getting to shop in the “Husband” section this year and found the perfect card to tell him how I feel.

While I was perusing Valentine’s Day Cards I also saw the new Hallmark Vinyl Cards which include an actual vinyl record with a song on each side for your significant other.

I was so excited when I saw that one of them includes the song that I walked down the aisle to at our wedding as one of the tracks! Talk about perfect!

Once I finished picking out the perfect cards I wanted to find the perfect gift. Since neither Mike nor I eat a lot of sugar, the typical Valentine’s chocolates wouldn’t work. Plus I wanted something that would last beyond just this day of the holiday.

When Mike and I first met we had a weekly “date night” every Thursday night, and while we try to stay pretty true to that, life sometimes gets in the way and we miss our weekly dates.

I wanted to give a gift that would inspire us both to rekindle that habit in a fun way.

I am super excited about celebrating our first Valentine’s Day together as a married couple with cards and gifts that are so perfectly us.

I know that we will both cherish having the Vinyl record of our wedding song to enjoy for years to come and look forward to a year's worth of romantic dates.

Whipped Strawberry Honey Butter

By Leave a Comment

This delicious Whipped Strawberry Honey Butter is made with just four ingredients for a flavor you will absolutely love!

I don't know about you, but I am already dreaming of Summertime. Clearly that rodent lied when he said Spring was coming early - because it is a ridiculous 30-something degrees here in Florida. FLORIDA. I know.

Anyway, I digress... One of my favorite signs of Summer is fresh strawberries showing up in our local stores. I admit I can just about eat my weight in strawberries, and few things are more disappointing than not being able to get my favorite treat whenever I want them. (Like now... when it's freezing. Did I mention I hate the cold?)

Thankfully I discovered a solution - CRUNCHIES! Crunchies are made with just one ingredient – fresh fruit – and add nutritious flavor to homemade frosting, pancakes, cake crust and more.

Or you can be like me... and just nosh on them right out of the bag to get your fix.

There are several different varieties of Crunchies - pineapples, raspberries, cinnamon apple, strawberries, blueberries, and more. I have not tried them all - but I plan to!

Crunchies are available online or at your local grocer. They are an all natural, Vegan, Heart-Healthy, Non-GMO, Gluten-Free, Freeze-Dried, Snack for the whole family!

Check them out at their website - CrunchiesFood.com as well as on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram!
