Who needs a Card?

Valentine's Day is a holiday I truly embrace! I feel like my heart grows 20 times larger on Valentine's Day, and it smiles with every step I take. Maybe it's because we always celebrated Valentine's Day in my home as a child, because it was the day my parents said "I Do!" Or maybe, I'm just a hopeless romantic who reveals in chick flicks and cheesy love novels! Whatever it may be, Valentine's Day is really one of my favorite holidays!

Flowers, dinner reservations, big cards with sweet words, and meaningful gifts were always a necessity and expected! I turned the hubster into the ultimate consumer that marketing companies target on this over priced holiday. And...he has always come through, he has never let me down, or made me feel less special then the next girl. But, this year I changed the rules to the game!

I no longer looked at Valentine's Day as a day to be loved more then any other day, as a day to be impressed by the materialistic items that society says the hubster should gift to me! Instead, it was a day to make my girls feel extra special, a day to show them how to share their love like no other! And...that's exactly what I did, exactly what we did!


I have to tell you that as I tucked my ladies into bed and watched them slowly drift to sleep on Valentine's Day, no card in the world could have given me the unconditional LOVE that I felt at that very moment! The best gift the hubster and I have ever given to each other are our two beautiful daughters and soon to be son!

Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day, just like us Morad Four did!

Cupcakes...Hearts...Kidlets

You know me...I'm a HUGE sucker for having parties at my house! I enjoy the craftiness that parties entail! I enjoy being a host! I enjoying gathering people together, and sharing our special place with them! But, most of all, I enjoy sharing with my girls this love and passion for inviting new and old friends into our home, and showing them a good time!

So...when one of Giulietta's friends Moms asked me if I wanted to host a Cupcake at my house, of course I yelled YES! before I thought about how I'd have to clean, have to decorate, have to make our space perfect for our little kidlets! But, none of that hard work mattered when I sat back last night and looked at the smiles on all the kids & parents faces, when I heard the pitter patter of little feet running on my hardwood floors, and when I saw true friends bonding in our home!

Our Valentine's Cupcake Party included Heart Shaped Pizzas, juice boxes, veggies, fruit, & of course Cupcake Decorating with all the fun frosting colors and sprinkle trimmings! Each little kidlet went home with a full belly, box full of decorated cupcakes, and a fun Valentine's Day/Cupcake place-mat made by Giulietta & I! As fun and creative as our little Cupcake Party was, I think we might have to make this a yearly tradition in our home!
