Happy Valentine's Day! To honor the day of love, I got some great dating stories from a few of my Blogger friends. Some are long, some are short, some are romantic, and some are awkward. Please grab the popcorn (or heart-shaped box of chocolates or your kid's valentines party candy) and enjoy! Oh, and Happy Awkward Valentine's! From Tauni Everett of SNAP! Creativity at Your Fingertips... You might think that you've been on … [Read more...]
Who doesn't love Hershey Kisses? They are such a classic chocolate treat. I have so many warm fuzzy memories of Hershey kisses (most of them involving me drowning my sorrows and eating a whole bag by myself--no shame!) I remember the first Valentine's Day I had with Hershey Kisses. It was in 5th or 6th grade and my creative friends had, unbeknownst to me, graduated from store-bought cards. They had Hershey Kisses, wrapped in pink and … [Read more...]
I have the easiest and yummiest Valentine's Day recipe for you--Red Velvet Butter Bars! I tried this recipe to make thicker Red Velvet cake which uses butter instead of oil. I took them out of the oven, let them cool, then put on the frosting. It looked very tantalizing and I couldn't wait another second to try it. So I did and it was...mediocre. I tasted the way every other Red Velvet cake I'd make tasted--unremarkable. So I put the … [Read more...]
It's February--the month of LOVE. I have a super easy and fun project for you--something that makes a great gift idea or just decor around the house. It's Sharpie Art--specifically 'Doodle' Love Art! All you need is a ceramic dish and some Sharpies. Seriously, that's it. And channel your 8 year old self and doodle like you're writing a note to your friend! (Remember writing notes and folding them in those cool ways?) Here's an … [Read more...]

Valentines Ring 4. Heart … [Read more...]
If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen a tantalizing picture of Hot Fudge that I had just whipped up. Well the other day I had a hankering to make something delicious and I wanted to try making Hot Fudge. My grandma had a simple recipe that I followed. The only problem is that I used Fat Free Evaporated Milk instead of the regular kind which meant that there was no fat in the mixture. Sounds healthy right? Well no fat also … [Read more...]
I discovered this recipe several years ago and found it surprisingly delicious. I know--surprisingly? It's a fudge brownie torte! But when you see/eat the actual brownie torte by itself, it's pretty lackluster. But paired with the chocolate topping and strawberries--a match made in heaven! This is a great dessert to make for your Valentine's Day dinner at home, if that's what you're doing this year. 5.0 from 1 reviews Save … [Read more...]
The flu is slowly leaving our house and I had a second this week to make a fun Valentine's craft which was SUPER easy, fast, and adorable. It's a valentine's pom pom wreath! Isn't it so cute? It's so fluffy I wanna die! <--name that quote! Seems like most wreaths take a really long time to make--whether you're wrapping it in yarn or tying on strips of fabric or rolling a billion little paper flowers. Wreaths definitely are a labor … [Read more...]
