Monthly Musings February 2025: How We Show Love

 

Hey there Besties. This week went a little sideways at times, including some technical issues. Hopefully, it is only that my power cord needs to be replaced, but I am going to also have to look into a new laptop soon. I got about half-way through my What's Up Wednesday the other night and then there was a black screen of death. I may post it Friday but who knows!

Today I am here with my very patient co-host Holly for our fun link-up, Monthly Musings. Even though Valentine's Day was a few weeks ago, we are keeping all the love going and sharing How We Show Love. If you are linking up with us, please link back to the both of us in your intro and also try to visit some of the other writers who join us. Let's dive into Monthly Musings.

1. What is your love language?

I think mine (and Running Daddy's) is acts of service. I love a cleaned-up kitchen in the morning or if you pick up wine. I am not going to lie, the weekend that Hockey Guy came home for Christmas I did a ton of baking...and I don't bake a lot.

2. Favorite love songs?

Our wedding song was "The Best is Yet to Come" by Tony Bennett. I also love "The Dance" by Garth Brooks, "Won't Last a Day Without You" by the Carpenters and "Home" by Michael Buble' (and Blake Shelton) and "Somewhere Down the Road" by Barry Manilow. I know I have very corny taste in music.

3. Flowers, chocolate or something else?

I am always a flowers girl. Running Daddy knows that I like to arrange my own flowers.

4. Favorite romantic/romcom movie?

We love the The Holiday. My favorite part is when Jack Black tells Kate Winslet he wrote something for her too and he "used only the Good notes."

We also love Love Actually. I can watch You've Got Mail every time it is on. My favorite Hallmark movie is Mistletoe Promise. 

I am looking forward to seeing what others write here. I know we are missing movies. 

5. Favorite childhood Valentine's Memory

When I was in kindergarten I broke my leg mid January and I was at home for a long time. I remember a neighbor brought home my Valentine's bag for me and it was really fun to open all of the school Valentine's.

6. How did you celebrate Valentine's Day?

We sent a big Valentine's box to Hockey Guy at college that a group of moms put together. I was out of town, so my sweet friend put his box together for me. It was massive and he was really excited.

We are pretty chill on Valentine's Day. We got Emmy Squared pizza and had wine. We always do small fun gifts and cards, nothing over the top. That's how we like it.

7. Any love or romance traditions?

We are very into cards on every holiday. Even our dog gives cards!

8. When do you feel most loved?

I am pretty simple about things. Running Daddy always makes me coffee in the morning and that makes me feel pretty loved. 

9. Big night out or chill at home?

I am a total chill at home kind of gal!

10. Do you wear red/pink on Valentine's Day?

Yes, I wore a bright pink sweater with a pink gingham shirt and jeans.
