Surf & Turf...

What's wrong with celebrating Valentines Day at home? Nuthin' I tell ya. For several years now Rob and I have dined at home on the holiday of love. We go for familiarity and the comfort of our own kitchen instead of going to some crowded restaurant, getting a limited holiday menu, slow service and overpriced food. Instead every year we do a Surf & Turf dinner. And it always turns out lovely. So go ahead, order the steak AND the lobster! (And let me tell you this prego didn't eat any fish/seafood for a whole week so I could enjoy my entire lobster without a mercury care in the world :)

Cute note Rob left on the food to be prepared...



Dinner awaits...

Happy Valentine's Day People... Hope it's lovely!

Feelin' the Love...

I love having seasonal decorations in the house. Not a lot but just enough to remind us what's coming up, like this little Valentine tree in our downstairs bathroom. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day! Since it falls on a Sunday this year Rob and I are celebrating it tonight instead. We'll be hanging at home with steak, lobster and a movie. Our V-Day tradition. Hope whatever you do your holiday of L-O-V-E is sweet too.

Love is in the Air...

Rob and I spent a nice weekend at Lake Chelan with friends. Hope you had a good Valentine's Weekend too!

Love Cookies...

I'm usually not a baker but when I saw the heart cookie cutter I bought it for Valentines Day. It was fun decorating the cookies but I better not quit my day job yet!

Oops...

I have the best intentions when it comes to picking out cards and sending gifts (like these V-Day goody bags for my neices in Texas). But I'm terrible about mailing them! I'd been stockpiling their treats for a few weeks and before I knew it Valentine's Day was almost here. I headed to the post office but as usual I'd waited too long to mail them. Now the goody bags are arriving late! Shoot... It was my New Year's resolution to mail things on time this year... Looks like I'm off to a rocky start!
