pot o' love

i totally prefer the low-key valentine's day

and last night was just that...

my husband had class late

so i got up the strength to get back in the kitchen 

(the first time in a month, thanks to my bum foot!)

and cook his favorite dinner

(beef stroganoff)

with a deliciously rich dessert

organic

dark chocolate mousse

fresh whipped cream

fresh raspberries

the recipe was quick and amazing- using only dark chocolate and water!

he came home with flowers and mango sorbet for me

we cozied up to an episode of breaking bad (totally obsessed!)

perfect, quiet night in...

hope you had a wonderful day!

hearts on a string

whipped up a few heart garlands

to send off to tay

in a little valentine's day care package

they were so quick and easy

i made a set for above our fireplace too...

this little burst of creativity was a warm up for the weekend-

camped out in the woods

for our annual girl's crafting weekend

and it feels SOOO good to get out of the house!

back next week with the results

...

roses are red

happy valentine's day lovies!

i didn't make my gingerbread cookies this year during the holidays and i have been craving them ever since.

i adore how white icing looks on this cookie, so i thought it would be a wonderful twist to turn the traditional christmas cookie into a valentine's tradition.

inspired by paper doilies and made with love...

the smiley heart is for you, mum.
