Romance is in the air. Valentine’s Day is almost here. I love adding touches of hearts to the kitchen and living room during the holiday. A cute blanket, coffee mugs or stirring spoons to match the holiday, and hand towels. Here are a few items I have put together to add subtle touches around the house. If you have kids, I would suggest some party decorations on the big day too. Nothing crazy. Just a few hearts hanging from the ceiling and maybe a few balloons are all it takes to make them feel special.
Next week on the blog we will tackle some fun ways to show the people in your life how much you care for them. This does not have to be tricky or elaborate. Sometimes the best Valentines are simple and intimate. Kids love to get in the spirit with crafts and cooking. I will have the details on our family valentines’ traditions as well.
Hope you have a great week! It’s my first week back at work since my surgery so I may not be on my socials as much as I have been. Keep the prayers coming! Also, how can I pray for you? you can always get in touch with me by emailing me at beckiel@crazymessylovelylife.com
The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.
Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

Its Friday!
Have you finished shopping yet? I'm almost done.
Molly and I are making Christmas treats today. We will post some in stories as we make them. I forgot I have a hair appointment smack dab in the middle of the day. I better get moving.

if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣
this tree brings me so much joy ☺️
I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!
I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.
