Valentine's Day Special...part 1

Hello everyone!

Today is the first of February...we are already 1 month into the new year. Sometimes it's important to stop up, remind ourselves to make the most of the days that we have and not get swallowed up by all the stress in the busy world around us. I'm reminded of that often with my little son who is growing up so quickly. One day he will be a grown man, and I want to make sure that I enjoy every day and every different stage of his life.

It's so important in life to show your family and friends that you love and appreciate them, and what better time to do it than Valentine's Day. Obviously we should show our love and appreciation on more then just 1 day of the year, and often times those little extra tokens of love are appreciated much more when they come as a surprise, BUT I still think that Valentine's Day is a lovely time to celebrate love!

So during the next 2 weeks I will be putting up some tips and ideas about how you can spoil those special people in your life.

Here is some inspiration from some of my favourite blogs and websites to get your imagination going...

Check out these conversation heart cookies by Annie's Eats.

There's nothing more romantic than strawberries and chocolate. These one's come from Simply Recipes.



Cute cupcakes from Martha Stewart.



And finally...a lovely 3 course meal that will shower your love on whoever eats it, from The Pioneer Woman.



Lots of love to you all!

Love,
Heidi
