Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Have you ever stopped to think about the origin of the holiday that we celebrate on February 14th? Me either! However, for the purpose of this post I thought I’d look it up. According to BBC, the day gets its name from a famous saint. It came to be celebrated as a day of romance from about the 14th century.
Every year my husband gets me a beautiful flower arrangement and a sweet card. Sometimes he gifts me chocolates or jewelry too. I find it incredibly difficult trying to figure out what to give my husband for this holiday. Men definitely have this one much easier when it comes to gifting. Let me know what your favorite gift to give on Valentine’s Day is. I need help! After celebrating 30 Valentine’s Days with my hubby I’m completely out of new gift ideas!

If you happen to be looking for new Valentine’s Day cocktail recipes to serve to your significant other or to your gal pals, I’ve got you covered! I’m a sucker for anything and everything pink, especially cocktails. LOL! Drinks that are our favorite color just taste better, don’t they? I’m actually not a big drinker of alcoholic beverages. However, I do enjoy a delicious and pretty cocktail from time to time.
This pretty Strawberry Shortcake Martini is from delightfulemade.com (see link below)
