Valentine’s Day

I just happen to have today off for Lincoln’s birthday (it’s weird, I know). Not complaining at all, it was so nice to sleep in, especially since it’s windy and rainy out today –  the perfect weather to stay home and cook for my Valentine.

Despite the dreary weather, my orange tuilips sure brighten up the house. Probably hands down, one of my favorite flowers.

Frosted heart cookies are even better!

They also act as mini schnauzer magnets. 

Pretty cards are fun too!

I’ve been buried in cookbooks all morning. I still can’t decide what to make for our special dinner “in” tonight. Dan and I have always stayed home on Valentine’s Day – tonight we will carry on the tradition. I definitely know that I will be attempting to make cupcakes today, but beyond that, nothing has been decided. I’m hoping that a quick trip to Trader Joe’s will inspire me.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
