Happy Valentine’s Day!
{via}
Oh, how I LOVE these vintage valentine cards!
And oh how I LOVE my Valentines….
It was peanut butter banana smoothies in their cute new mugs this morning…
Then we loaded up all the valentines and headed to school.
Elliott signed 25 {cheesy} Jonas Brothers cards all by herself and helped me seal them with a little pink heart sticker.
She also has a little candy treat for her classmates…
I had visions of hand cut hearts, glitter and handwritten notes to adorn these little trinkets, but the weekend got away from us and I found myself scrambling for my Avery labels and put my new color cartridge to work!
Now that I look back, I should’ve had the label read, “Please be a {Smartie} and be my Valentine!”
Shucks! Oh well.

Just wanted to add that yesterday, while I took Holden to a little birthday party, Jay and Elliott went and redeemed a certificate she got from school at Cold Stone. I found out when I got home that she chose cotton candy ice cream with m&m’s….how NASTY is that? Sorry, I know it’s not polite to comment that something that someone is eating is gross, BUT……they shouldn’t even MAKE cotton candy ice cream! Jay said it was blue! Yuck!
But I’m glad Jay & Elliott got to have some more one on one time. They also went to the park and practiced her sight words!

This afternoon I’m going to be busy in the kitchen preparing a special dinner for my other Valentine…
Chicken Marsala
Roasted asparagus with parmesan
Cheesecake {my first attempt, but I found a recipe that BEGGED to be baked!}
Almond champagne toast
{recipes to come}
Wish me luck as I try out my new spring form pan!
On the QT, you are QT’s!
Cheesecakes are actually quite easy and less stressful to make. The key is very room temperature cream cheese. Can’t wait to see your recipe. And I love my sprintform pan. You can use it for other things too, liked baked spaghetti pie.
Just made those smoothies for the kids! Yummy!
Love the vintage v’day cards. I had high hopes of making cute little homemade cards with beautiful postage stamps, alas, my children chose Toy Story and Animal-theme cards…
Hope you’re dinner turned out GREAT! I surprised Chris with his favorite dish from Farfalle that I picked up on my way home from work.
