Valentine’s Day at Home
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend and enjoyed your Valentine’s Day with your loved ones. I saw lots of pictures on Instagram full of candies and sweets. They all look great but I don’t know about you but I can’t eat sweets like that anymore. I am not sure why but my taste buds are going through changes. I did enjoy seeing everyone’s flowers. I love flowers and love a wonderful large bouquet for no reason.
Mr. Shockley and I spent the holiday at home. I am telling you I did not step foot out my door yesterday. Saturday I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things but that was it. Today I wanted to visit my p.o. box (just to check on things) but that will have to wait until later this week. We are getting ready to get hit with our 6 to 8 inches of snow today!
In today’s post, I did want to share how my stay home date went with my hubby.

Of course one cannot start Valentine’s Day without flowers. My husband asked if I wanted anything specific and I told him to just keep it simple this year. So he came home with these and I could not love them more!

I think I shared that I did not want to go out for dinner so I included a steak dinner in our HelloFresh box for this order. This was the middle eastern steak and rice pilaf meal.
It turned out pretty good. I was really intimidated by the steak. I have never cooked steak on the stove. I have always cooked it in a crockpot. It always comes out so tender. But the basmati rice was good and I always love roasted vegetables. The dipping sauce for the steak was sour cream, yogurt, and zucchini which I thought was a bit unusual but it tasted good.

We turned off the lights and I brought down my candelabra from the boutique. I placed a candlestick in it and we enjoyed a nice quiet dinner. Where was our daughter you may ask? Well her bestie called her and asked if she could come by for a few and we sent her over there. It was nice having a quiet home.
Even though we spent the day home I still got dressed up. I dress every day so this was not hard for me. And yes I spent the whole day in the house looking like this. I enjoy looking nice so sitting around my home like this does not bother me at all.
Overall we had a nice Valentine’s day. I did order a few things from Express while they had their sale. I ordered this lace cami, this wrap blouse, and these quilted slides in pecan. I have actually tried these slides on in the store and they are super comfy.
I hope you all have a great Monday and enjoy your day! Stay warm!

Don’t you look prudy🤭💕 What a nice meal. We didn’t have any snow in my part of GA but tons of cold rain. The kind that chills you to the bone. You almost could not get warm. I had to pull out my knee high socks and 2 sweaters on in the house, with the heat, lol. I was born and raised in Massachusetts so I know all about snow and cold but I’m not equipped anymore to deal with it, lol Glad you all made time for yourselves.
Hey Tracey!
Lol, thank you for the compliment! I heard that a lot of states in the south got rain instead of snow. You do know about cold weather. Once you have been away for a while your body changes. We did have a nice dinner. I hope you enjoyed your Valentine’s Day as well. Thanks for reading!
