Yes, it’s actually Valentine’s Day! But that doesn’t mean we can’t show a little love to the “girlfriends” in our lives – our Galentines!
Besides, our girlfriends mean a lot to us! Do they not? In my 40’s I find that my girlfriends mean even more to me now than they did in my 30’s. I guess because in my 30’s I was birthing little people and caught up in diapers and bottles! In my 20’s of course my girlfriends meant a lot, but in a different way…The kind of “thanks for getting me away from that creepy guy at the club and driving my ass home” kind of way 🙄 Don’t get me wrong, some of these gals are still some of my closest friends and always will be!
I’m pretty sure that as the years pass from here on out my girlfriends will continue to hold a very special and important place in my life. After all, our kiddos are getting older, wrinkles are starting to appear, and the dreaded menopause is looming in the distance. Yikes! Something only a girlfriend would understand! And, many of our girlfriend friendships will certainly stand the test of time!
So why not show at least a couple of your closest friends a little love this Valentine’s Day? It really doesn’t have to be anything big and expensive. Even a small token will certainly make her smile. It’s the thought that counts!
If you live here in Houston you can just pop in one of these stores. Prices on these items range from $10 to $75. If you are reading this from another city, some of these stores may be in your area too.
