Mixed Up Love

I love Valentine's Day. Its a day to celebrate all things sweet and Love-ly. This is where I need all your suggestions. For our Valentine's Day plans this year we have decided to forgo the overpriced dinner at a fancy restaurant and stay in. We clear the coffee table to be used as a more intimate dining table, throw the pillow cushions on the floor and enjoy our meal snuggled up zen style. We both looove cheese so we make a meal of it- coupled with a little fruit and chocolate of course!

So to make our night complete we need some background music. I am compiling a Valentine's Day mix and need all of your fav love songs. To reward you for your fabulous suggestions I will in turn post cupid's collection of 'Mixed Up Love' for you and your heart throb to enjoy on the big day.
