Gifts for Him: 1. Tickets to see a game for one of his favorite sport`s teams- honestly something both of you can enjoy!! 2. A "movie night" basket- put a movie in there, some of his favorite snacks/drinks, and of course a box of popcorn! 3. New clothes- who doesn`t love new clothes? 4. Hats- if he likes to wear hats, he probably would love to add to his collection! 5. Food- make him a basket that is related to his favorite candy or food. For example, if he is obsessed with Reese`s, add all different types of the candy, and other peanut butter and chocolate items! 6. Hunting/Fishing Gear- if he loves to be outside, pick out some items he will definitely love and get a lot of use out of! 7. A new ball- if he plays football/baseball/soccer/etc., get him a new ball that he will be able to use. Or if you want it to be extra special, you can write him a cute little note on the ball 8. Music Gear- for the musician man in your life, you can find some guitar picks at your local music store, and you can write cute little notes on them! 9. Shoes- this runs along the same lines as the new clothes... who doesn`t love new shoes? You can even try to find him some funny Valentine`s socks! 10. Car Gear- if he is obsessed with his car/truck/etc., you can always make a cute basket with some vehicle care equipment! Gifts for Her: 1.

Candles- who wouldn`t want their room/house to smell amazing?? 3. Flowers- we know this one is cliche, but come on- it`s flowers!! 4. Stuffed Animal- again... we know this one is cliche, but pair the stuffed animal with a flower, and it makes the perfect affordable gift! 5. Clothes- this one runs along the same lines as the "Gifts for Him" section... who doesn`t love new clothes?? 6. Edible Arrangements- pick out a cute fruit bouquet that will not only be adorable, but delicious! 7. Blankets- anyone, and I promise when I say anyone, is going to love a big cozy blanket to snuggle up (with you!) in! 8. Chocolate- I don`t think this one needs any explanation! 9.

When you go there, you can reflect on how much the two of you have grown in the time that has passed, and you can enjoy some fun memories, as you are making new ones! 8.

Don`t Celebrate Although there are a lot of great things you can do on Valentine`s Day, it does not necessarily mean you have to celebrate. Spend the day with your loved ones, but you do not have to do anything fancy or extravagant to show your love! Whatever you decide to do, I hope that you have fun, stay safe, and show your love for those who are close to you! It is the beginning of a new year, and we know that everyone is wanting to get a kick-start to a fresh start! I hope that these quick and easy meal prep ideas, which are some of my personal favorites, will encourage you to cut out on the fast food, and incorporate some healthier options into your normal routine.
1. Chicken Burrito Bowl: This is probably my number 1 meal prep option, because you can just throw everything together in a bowl, and heat it up when you are ready to eat! The flavors are great, and it does not take long at all to prepare! Here is what you need:
1. Start off by cooking your rice completely according to the instructions on the package. 2. Add your chicken to a 9x13 pan, and add all of the seasonings to it. Drizzle the top with olive oil, to keep the chicken from drying out. 3. Cook the chicken on 350 degrees, for 30 minutes. Make sure the chicken is cooked completely. 4. Allow your chicken to cool, then shred or cut your chicken- however you prefer 5. Evenly divide your rice and chicken mixture into your meal prep containers, and top with the salsa. This recipe will make 4 meal prep bowls! 2. Overnight Oats: Another favorite of mine- here is an easy breakfast recipe when you are constantly on the go! Here is what you will need:
1. Add all of your ingredients into a bowl and mix together. 2. Pour mixture into an 8 oz. Mason Jar 3. Seal lid, and place in fridge overnight This recipe makes one serving of overnight oats! 3. Wrap and Side Lunch This is one of the easier and simpler meal prep ideas that make the perfect on-the-go lunch! Here is what you will need:
1. Lay wrap on a flat surface. 2. First place lettuce in the middle of the wrap. Evenly place your lunch meat on top of the lettuce. Make sure not to overstuff, as your wrap will not fold properly. 3. Sprinkle cheese and tomatoes on top. 4. Fold the 2 ends inward, and roll your wrap tightly. Once the wrap is folded, cut at a diagonal in half. 5. Place wraps in meal prep containers, and pour your dressing of choice in a side container for dipping. I like to pair my wrap with different side options. I have listed a few of my favorites below:

This is one of the most common questions people are asked as a new year rolls around.

Each year seems to go by quicker and quicker. A decade can seem like a year at times.
Come to think about a decade, that is when our apartment community was built, back in 2009.
