I Fell In Love With This Valentine’s Day Commercial

3kidsonabeach
My three Valentine’s on the Winter Beach of Cape May.

 

Have you seen this commercial? Okay, I’m not being sponsored by KMart, I just fell in love with this commercial. It really stirred up a lot of memories about the relationship my two sons had with their Grandmas. My sons worshiped their Grandmas. My oldest son had the most time with two grandmas, both of them gone now. My sons were 16 and 8 when my mom and mother in law passed away within a few weeks of each other, my daughter was just about to have her first birthday. Sadly, she’ll never know the joy of having a Grandma. She’ll never feel that love that only a grandma can give. Maybe that’s why I adored this commercial. My sons had that joy, that love. Seeing this commercial helped me to remember the love they had for each other and just how special it was….

You see, although some people do not “get into” Valentine’s Day and think it’s just another marketed holiday. I cannot help but celebrate Love, on Valentine’s Day, on any day. My life has changed and it’s different without my mom and mother in law around. When I saw this commercial it made me happy, it hit me in the heart that my sons had that chance to love their grandmas, to share special memories with them. So, if you are a boymom, I’m sure you will love this commercial.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Do you have a special memory with your Grandparents? I lived far away from my grandparents and could not wait to visit them. Most times it was a once or twice a year visit. We created a lot of memories. I loved how my grandparents would make such a Big fuss when I can in to visit!

Have you ever sent an e-card? If you are like me, you never get to the card store in time. I am “forever” going to pick up that card and then it’s the day before or too late to send. Thank goodness for Hallmark e-cards! They have saved face for me more than once. Hopefully, none of my family is reading this. Well, your family never reads your blog anyway, right? This year I simply cut to the chase and am sending Valentine E-Cards from Hallmark. Now another problem, I never know which ones to choose! They are all so cute. It’s easy to say, “I Dig You” or “I Love You” with the awesome choices available! Of course I still buy hubby the hard copy one- I’ll never give him the free pass to send an e-card. lol.

February is one of my favorite months of the year. It’s the month that Valentine’s Day fall in, the month in which I got engaged, and the month when I had my very first baby. Tic Tac Toe, it will always be a month that signifies love to me. With saying that I am always on the hunt for some yummy Valentine treats. Hubby is a total fan of Walkers Shortbread. This year I saw an awesome idea of taking the round and fingers and creating x’s and o’s. How adorable! To be honest with you, my samples arrived and were not tagged by me, “Do not eat”. One guess what happened, right? G-O-N-E! Well, I was going to give them to hubby anyway, but I would have liked to make the x’s and o’s for him first! Anyway, it only goes to show you just how delicious Walkers Shortbread really is.
