    The usual daily grind

    Pre kids DH used to go all out, sending flowers to me at work, fancy dinners, etc. One year we went to a fancy restaurant and it all just seemed so fake and set up, everyone there for the exact same reason, eating the same thing.

    Since we've had kids, I told him no presents so the last couple of years he has cooked me dinner which is spesh for me as I get a night off cooking and he really puts the effort in and looks for a new recipe to learn. I'd prefer him to make a big deal on my birthday

    I bought myself earrings today so I'll get DH to give them to me. I bought him an oven mitt for his love of his life Weber Q (for $1.75), possibly not fair, but there it is.

    Love your valentines day Ubba!

    Is what we will be doing... LOL.

    First time DTD since Charlotte was born, and exactly 6 weeks after too!! I am so scared but soooooooo damn excited!! Oh and I might cook him a rack of lamb or something (I don't eat red meat at all so that's pretty special!)

    So it may be a good VD, it may be a bad VD... we'll see!! it's good!!

    We don't usually do anything big, maybe go out for dinner... why wait for a single day of the year to spoil the one you love? I like to spoil him everyday...

    Wont be spending money but thought we could have a nice dinner at home with some candles and once DD is in bed we can sit down with some champagne and work on the wedding invites!

    Might save those ones for the relos as who knows what they will turn out like after a few glasses of bubbles!
