Happy Valentine's Day!
Some people are fans of this day and its saccharine sensibilities, while others would sooner celebrate a root canal. As for me, I find myself in the middle of the Valentine's Day spectrum, choosing simply to get to the heart (har har) of things -- it's all about the love, baby. Whether you find that love in your spouse, your children, your best friend, a furry companion, your faith, your favorite hobby, or even a box of chocolates (oh, you KNOW what I'm talking about), it all flows from you and through you. February 14 is just one day out of many to embrace the love in your life, in whatever form you find it. The flowers? The candy? The romance? Those are just the trimmings. The real gift is love.
"These Two"

With that in mind, my first thought when creating this layout for today's Valentine's Day post wasn't "I need to use red." Instead, my first thought was on the two faces you see here -- the loves of my life, my husband and my daughter. They are my valentines, at heart of everything, every single day of the year, every day of my life.
