14 Quotes about Mushy Love Stuff

I jumped the gun a little and posted 14 things about my husband earlier in the week. Our Valentine's plans haven't really changed either. You can find us hanging out at home, watching Netflix, playing Xbox, and laughing at the cats. I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.


I've seen post after post of presents for Valentine's day. There's a couple who I adore, and I LOVE seeing what gifts they receive. This holiday-  these super cute Star Wars themed key chains. My BFF received a singing telegram. Countless, flowers, chocolates, and cards. Every year I think of a friend's husband, who has a gift, but scrambles to find something to write in her card. Know a guy like this? Are you a guy who still needs those perfect words?

Let me help you out! These are my top 14 love quotes perfect for any mushy, gushy card.

1. I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty…you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.” J. D. Salinger

5. “I do love nothing in the world so well as you - is not that strange?” William Shakespeare

6. “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” Albus Dumbledore

I hope your Valentine's day is everything you want it to be! If not, just remember tomorrow all chocolate will be half off. Enjoy! 

Auld Lang Syne, I think.

Alas, the MIA blog writer returns and impeccable timing too. I'm pretty much the worst blog writer ever. EVER.

 All day I've seen post after post and article after article recapping their 2015. I reflect on my 2015 and automatically I came name a million things that didn't go quite as planned. The bright side? I can name just as many good things that happened as well. I think back to Thanksgiving when my family makes everyone say one thing they are thankful for. As we circled around I heard- family, health, happiness, etc. When it was Joe's turn, he said something that I now think about every day.

Be thankful for the good times as much as the bad, because we learn and grow from the bad. So... back to naming off those "bad" things that happened in 2015- I tried to see the lesson or value of that trial.

Today I've also seen people making new years resolutions. I'll be honest... I HATE NY resolutions. I'm practically setting myself up for failure because I never follow fully through, and I don't cope well with failure. That word doesn't even exist in my vocabulary! Last year I said I would send cards and written notes to friends and loved ones for all occasions. Well, maybe 1/4 people received a birthday card and don't get me started about Christmas.

However, I did see one post today that really made me stop and think.

"You don't need the 1st of January to change your life. Just saying."

Talk about speaking volumes! I'm an advocate that only you can make a difference or change how your life is going. You have the control to make it better, and that one little statement up there... it's the truth. We just don't want to admit it.

As we ring in the new year, take a chance to reflect on the past and decide how you want to change the future! Happy, happy New Year!

PSA: Make safe choices tonight people! Hand the keys over or call a friend! No drink is worth a life.
