10 Things I won’t be getting this Valentine’s Day

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Monday Listicles, tuesday top ten

This year Valentine’s Day falls after Ash Wednesday and during the Lunar New Year Period. I don’t think that I will get anything fancy this year. In fact for the past few years we didn’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day out as it has been really expensive eating out and really not worth spending that amount of money on a meal.

Having a couple night out without the kids.
Going on a short couple vacation
Receiving fresh flowers from R. Flowers on Valentine’s Day are simply overpriced!! Even though I do really enjoy receiving flowers but they will be more meaningful to me if they were given on our Wedding anniversary or my birthday * BIG BIG HINT!!*
Getting a manicure or pedicure.
A visit to the hair salon to get a new haircut or my hair coloured.
Going to watch a movie.
Getting new clothes and shoes.
A trip to the SPA.
Chocolates
A new handphone.

What do you have planned for this Valentine’s Day?

Talking about Love on a Monday

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Lentern Journey, love, Monday Music Moves Me

February is the month of love. This week I will be experiencing many different types of love through the celebration of relationships and family ties during the Lunar New Year and Valentines Day. It is also the start of lent as Ash Wednesday falls on Wednesday this week and time to go on my yearly Lentern journey.

Love is something which is really very complicated. It affects one on many different degrees. There are many forms of love~ romantic love, brotherly love, self love and love for GOD.

This year my aim for Lent is to deepen my Spiritual love of GOD during this 40 days I will be doing more reflection on the scripture readings and learning more about his selfless love for mankind. We will start our weekly family night prayer session where we read and pray together as a family.

Though our love for GOD we will be able to gather strength that we need to see us through the obstacles that we face in life. We will also be able to understand and show our love to those that really matter to us.
