Will you give a Valentine to someone special this year? I will.
After many years of marriage, it’s easy for romance to slip away as everyday responsibilities pile up — housework, kids, pets, jobs, bills, schedules, errands, and all the unexpected tasks that demand attention. I’ll admit that lately our life has been full of those practical demands. It’s time for a change.
Where did the fairytale romance I imagined go? My life is good and I’m grateful, but it’s easy to let meaningful, joyful moments fade while focusing on urgent tasks — even when those tasks are for good reasons.
A few extra steps toward busyness and responsibility can distance you from romance.
When you notice the spark has dimmed — the carefree, fun parts of your week that make life sweeter — it’s worth taking steps to bring those moments back.
Choosing to live a more romantic, joyful life and making the fun in a relationship a priority is my top resolution this year. It’s the most important project of all.
These small plush velvet HeartGram™ hearts from LoveFeast™ are a classy, sweet way to say “I love you” to your Valentine. This year I received the Turquoise and Lagoon HeartGrams and placed them in a silver bowl on the dining table. They’re adorable, soft, and irresistible to squeeze.
Every time I pass those plush hearts, I pause for a moment. They remind me that some things deserve my attention more than the rushed tasks I’m heading toward — a gentle, visual “heart check” that helps me refocus on what matters.
Each HeartGram™ arrives in a kraft paper gift box with crinkle paper and a vintage-inspired postcard, tied with a satin ribbon. The postcard can be left blank for your personal note, or you can ask LoveFeast to handwrite a message when ordering.
The limited edition HeartGram™ set in Turquoise and Lagoon includes a custom postcard designed by artist Annie Barnett. Other color options are available for different tastes and occasions.
