Let’s be clear, I hate Valentine’s day.
But I love pink.
And chocolate.
So I am in the crux of all cruxes. It’s like the Horcrux of all cruxes (Harry Potter fans unite!).
Do I decorate and fall into the contrived, singleton shaming, cannot even get a reso at Ikea (it’s a thing!) crap trap or pretend this dumb holiday burned to the ground with all the xmas trees at the annual holiday tree burn?
With sluggish feet I made my way to the dollar store…
Not because I’ve suddenly got a change of heart and it grew 3 sizes, I don’t. I still hate this holiday, but I’ve got kids. Kids love this shit. Who am I to stand in the way of their dreams? And hey…chocolate. So I traversed, I perused, I bought pink hearts and foil wrapped candy and hopefully the kids will walk in the door and appreciate the sacrifices I make to my core values for them.
In the same breath all valentines decor that talks about love and #blessed hearts suck. I focused on the cute and the pink and the glittery on my Pinterest board below, end of story.
Ciao.
