How was your Valentines Day?

I just love Valentine's Day, and always have, even when I was single. I just love the idea of a day for love of all kinds! Paper-cut hearts, silly chocolates and cupcakes: it's all so fun.

This year, my Valentine's Day gift was a perfectly original one. A bright, new copy of Home Made by Yvette Van Boven, a beautiful photographed cookbook of made-from-scratch recipes. Ice cream, canned preserves, cocktails - you name it, it's in here!


I will have to keep you updated on any recipes that I attempt. And to top off the romance, I received this weird button of my charming fiance that I have decided to wear everywhere. What a goofball:


Check out this adorable video by Lukas Holoubek of Candace and Rich's sweet Valentine's Day dinner (via 100 Layer Cake). Doesn't it make you want to put on a polka-dotted dress and go to a party? Or HAVE a party? It does for me!
