Unique Flower Bouquet Options For Valentine's Day

I mean, yes, a flower bouquet is a gorgeous choice. I love the smell of fresh flowers.

But then they die.

And you're left with cleaning up the dead remains. Not fun. 

Picking up flowers that WON'T die is a fantastic option, because they will always be around. Years down the line you can be like, "*Insert name here* gave these to me!" Mind you, if that relationship ended poorly, it might not be as sweet. So in that case, you can film a TikTok of you destroying the bouquet with the title "He Broke My Heart. So I Broke His Flowers."

I dunno.

My daughter has created some fabulous bouquets. I am not crafty. But she is. 

She made this Spider-Man bouquet. She went to Michaels and found a bouquet of red flowers. She drew the Spider-Man figure and then wrapped the bouquet in construction paper:

She drew and cut out eyes to hot glue to the top:

Know someone who likes Littlest Pet Shop? Natalie created this bouquet for a fan. For this one she picked up that wooden flower bouquet at Lowe's and then printed out LPS figures. She colored them and then wrapped the flowers with construction paper. She also glued hearts around the bouquet. 

We did NOT make this flower bouquet, but Walmart makes them for $20 I believe. It's a delicious option if you do not want to have a bouquet forever.

If there is a musician in your life, make this guitar pick bouquet! Natalie purchased a bunch of picks, wire, and fake carnations. She got pliers to pull out the wire, and then used hot glue to put all the picks in place. She bundled them up with construction paper and added a few puff balls. 

Lightening McQueen fans will like this bouquet! She picked up red & yellow flowers, drew roads, cut those out, and hot glued them on. Then she got a Lightening McQueen car and added that. 

Walmart has bouquet plushes! There are different characters available: Snoopy, Star Wars, Marvel, plus many others. 

Finally, flowers can be created from pipe cleaners! Natalie just twisted them around to resemble a rose. She added lights for added fun. She says this can be time consuming, but the results are beautiful.

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

Things I Won't Be Doing On Super Bowl Sunday

Who is watching the Super Bowl this weekend?

I'm not.

I've never found football particularly thrilling. It's just a bunch of men running around in tight pants to me. I'd rather read.

However, I do tune into the Half Time Show. And this year will be a fun one with Bad Bunny and Green Day. 

Here are things I won't be doing on Sunday:

Cook.

Sundays are the day of rest. I'm always in awe of the women who are like, "My husband wanted to throw a Super Bowl party so I need to make a list on what I'm going to make!" My face is all:

Shout.

It drives me insane when people shout for no reason. So an overpaid padded player drops the ball? Big deal. I was more upset when the show Friends made us wait to find out what would happen after Ross said the name Rachel at his wedding to Emily. That's something to shout about. We had to wait like THREE MONTHS to witness the aftermath of that debacle. You don't shout over a fumble. You shout over cliffhangers and when things like this happen:

Rooting For A Certain Team


I generally pick who I want to win based on the uniform color. I'm not a fan of the US right now or any of their colors, so I am rooting for the Seahawks. Someone asked me the other day who I was rooting for and I was like, "the Seahawks, I guess," and then they launched into a story of players on the team and such, and I was like: 

Go Online And Bash Moves That Players Make

I'm always in awe on how passionate some people get online. This one chick was all, "If you say a bad word about *insert football player here* I am UNFRIENDING you." Over FOOTBALL! I mean I'd totally understand if the person was like "If you try to get me to stop drinking Diet Coke I'll unfriend you" but football? 

Run Through The Streets After The Game

I mean, I'd be tempted to run through the streets because FOOTBALL IS OVER, YAY! No more games interrupting my shows! So maybe I WOULD run through the streets. 

------

So if you're watching the game, have fun! I have many people in my life who LOVE football and think I'm crazy for disliking the sport. I'll either be reading or watching 90 Day Fiance. I'll still be stuffing my face though. You don't need a football game to enjoy wings and cheese dips. 

Hey, It's Okay

I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

......to think it's sweet that Natalie wanted to come home from college just so she could take a bath. She's been sick and has a build up of mucus, and obviously there are no baths in college. So she came home, took a nap, and a bath. 

......to be glad Natalie was able to see Iron Lung before she felt too ill. She's been watching Markiplier on YouTube since she was small, and he directed this film, so she had to watch. She said it was really good! I would have no clue what it was had I gone, so I'm glad she went with friends. Tommy also got to see it and enjoyed the movie. 

.......to have finished watching Heated Rivalry on HBO Max. I kept hearing about it and saw edits on TikTok so I thought, okay, I need to watch. And it will hook you! It's based on books, which I swore I read. 

......to be skipping the Super Bowl. Football tends to bore me. I might tune into the halftime show though! 

......to have tried the new snacks from QuikTrip. They have mozzarella sticks and apple pie! Both were delicious! The sticks were $3.99 for 4 and marinara sauce, the apple pie was $1.89. These are perfect if you need something to tide you over until the next meal.
