Around V-Day {only a mere 1 week to go friends}, I get to be this emotional basketcase… call me crazy, but I love everything about this holiday–not so much the overly done “Hallmark Holiday” persay, but the thoughtfulness behind, and how you can come up with something creative and homemade, which to me is way more special.
This February 14th, Jeff and I are foregoing the typical “take me out to a romantic dinner” fuss kind of night. Instead, we are going to skip the not-so-sentimental gifts and we’re going to spend time at home together cooking for just the two of us. With that in mind, I know the key to my fiance’s heart and it’s all about the food…
He isn’t aware {and I am doubtful he’ll venture on here to read} that I already bought heart-shaped muffin pans from Target a few weeks ago to surprise him with breakfast in bed that morning… I know he will love this and I am perusing my favorite shops on Etsy to find the perfect card–here are some of my favorites:

You Make My Heart Happy Card Via Lucky Duck Designs

Me + You = True Love Card Via The Paper Peony

Fish Kiss Letterpress Card via Wiley Valentine
Peas and Carrots Card via Studio SloMo

 
That night, we’re planning to cook a gourmet dinner and then end with a baked goodie, or two… there are SO many holiday-ish desserts I am wanting to bake right now that this is going to be hard to narrow down:

Chocolate and Strawberry Filled Cupcakes via Tidy Mom
 Oreo Ice Cream Cake via Southern Plate
 Cinnamon and Sugar Toasted Fruit Nachos via Picky Palate
 White Chocolate and Cherry Shortbread Cookies via Recipe Girl
Rice Krispie Valentine Treat Pops via Skip to My Lou
 Valentine Confetti via This Blessed Nest
What do your V-day plans involve this year??
And of course… leaving you with a daily quote chocked full of inspiration:
But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day
