Chats on the Porch ~ 2/12/13



This week's questions are:

1. Are you doing anything special for Valentine's Day?

The hubby got us tickets to a Valentine's Dinner that will support our daughter's Softball team.  Then we're supposed to have a "real" date night on the 22nd!

2. When you attend something that isn't totally casual, are you likely to wear dress pants or a dress?

Most of the time dress pants.  If it is a wedding, then I will wear a dress.

3. Do you use a regular toothbrush or one of the battery run kind?

Regular toothbrush.  The kind that come in packs of 4 so we all get a new one :)

4. Did you have valentines in school when you were a child?

Yes, we had a Valentine's Party every year until 7th grade.  I loved writing out my Valentine Cards.  (Remember by addiction to stationary!)  Friday afternoon, my kindergartner and I wrote out her Valentine Cards.  I had as much fun as she did.  I actually bought myself a few packages of cards this year.  I couldn't resist!

5. If you could learn a new craft tomorrow, what would it be?

Knitting.  No candle-making.  No soap-making.  No calligraphy.  I could go on and on......

Let's chat and get to know one another!

Have a great day!

  1. I help in Pre-K class at Sunday School and we did a Valentine's party Sunday. I loved writing out my Snoopy Valentine's for the kids. I love to knit. I have been knitting since 8th grade, but just don't do it as much as I would like.

  2. Anything special for valentines day? Well, my hubby and I are going to camp out in the living room, eat fondue, and watch a movie with our four year old. Then, we'll go out Friday night for our date.

    Dress pants or a dress? Really just depends on my mood. These days, I'm likely to choose a dress simply because it's an entire outfit in one piece. Easy peasy!

    Regular or battery toothbrush? Definitely a regular. My son has fun battery powered ones, but the hubs and I use whatever is on sale.

    Valentines in school? Yes, we always had valentines parties. Now that I'm hoping to homeschool my son, I want to plan these little parties for his homeschooled friends so they can enjoy these traditions.

    Learning a craft? I'm like you, I want to learn them all. But, if I had to pick just one, I'd say sewing. I mean, I can sew a little bit, but it's been a LONG while since I've spent time with my machine. Needless to say, our relationship is a little rocky right now. ;)

    P.S. Stopping by from MercyINK. This was fun! ;)

  3. Calligraphy! That's a great idea for a new craft to learn. I would love to learn that! My friend did all her own calligraphy for her handmade wedding invitations, they were beautiful!

    Have a great week! Look forward to chatting on the porch next week!

  8. I bought Valentine's for my intervention groups and my 5th grade mentor students and I enjoyed writing their names on each card! Otherwise, I'm not that much into this particular holiday. I agree with you on the craft---it's hard to narrow it down!
