Valentines Day is a special day for me because it's a personal anniversary when I like to celebrate myself and a difficult choice that I made once upon a time. That choice opened the doors for me to experience life in a whole new way. I rediscovered things that I love to do and found a creative freedom that gave me new wings. Then I met the love of my life Nicholas Solon and my life was totally changed. Almost seven months ago Nick and I welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world and life has changed again! Eleanor Jane is the light of our lives ... and she makes every day special. But this year Valentines was especially good. A couple of weeks ago I found an awesome baby-sitter. So Nick and I had a night out on Wednesday ... it was our first date since before she was born. He surprised me with reservations to Dudleys which was wonderful! And then yesterday - I spent Valentines Day loving on Eleanor and taking her out for a special mommy-daughter date. First we got dressed up in our Valentines outfits and went to story time at Joseph Beth's book store. Then I found a few irresistable books that I just had to get. After that we went to Georgia's Kitchen and had a fancy little lunch. Then we came home and had a very necessary nap.
