A Soft & Simple Valentine’s Day Table

A centerpiece of soft pink roses combined with charming heart shaped dishes creates the perfect soft and simple Valentine’s table setting.

Since my husband and I don’t typically go out to a fancy dinner, Valentine’s Day gives me a chance to create something special for us at home. And for the last couple of years, that’s what I’ve done. If the kids are out or have plans, I set a pretty table and make a special dinner. And if the kids are home, then I just make it a bigger table! Either way, it’s nice to make a little extra effort to make it feel like more than an average night. read more

Valentine’s Day at Home: Romantic Table Setting for Two

Looking for some creative and fun ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day at home? I’m sharing a romantic (and easy) table setting that’s perfect for creating a wonderful date night at home, along with tips to make it extra special!

For us, Valentine’s Day dinner has mostly been an ‘at home’ affair. We’ve often found the over-crowded and over-priced restaurant meal to be a bit much, and if it falls on a weeknight, not all that convenient either. So years ago we started making it a ritual to stay in and have a romantic night at home. read more

Pretty in Pink Valentine’s Day Table Setting

Every year I like to create a romantic (but easy!) Valentine’s Day table setting. You see, my husband and I never go out on Valentine’s Day. In fact, I would guess that we haven’t actually gone out on that date in about 15 years!

We found that it was always crowded and the service was incredibly slow. So our solution has been to spend a romantic evening at home enjoying a delicious meal and a nice bottle of wine! (Presents aren’t frowned upon either 😉 ) read more

A Soft & Romantic Valentine’s Day Table for Two

I don’t know about all of you, but my husband and I haven’t dined out on Valentine’s Day in probably fifteen years! That night it is overly crowded, and the food is always expensive. Most years we do a dinner out on another night and a family dinner on Valentine’s Day itself. But this year, it falls on a Thursday which happens to be a night my teens will be out at a weekly function. So I thought, why not do a special dinner at home in our own dining room? Candles, good food, uninterrupted conversation and no crowds or over-priced food – sign me up! read more
