HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
At our house...Valentine's isn't something we overdo! See, my husband and I have been together since well....time began, frankly! And we have had our share of disappointing Valentine's Days. We just gave up...it was easier that way. Well, in recent years we've brought it back and keep it SIMPLE!! We get a heart shaped pizza and don't spend more than $20 on each other. $20?!? I know...it's kind of hard actually...there are letters written and chocolates and just sweet little tokens. It works for us and it's something we'll continue to do!!
So this week on The Breeze we're giving away Heart Shaped Pizzas from Me & Ed's Pizza and tickets to the new movie "Valentine's Day". Just listen to me while you work and win...that easy!!!
Valentine's Day isn't the only thing on my mind lately...nope. Something that has been weighing on me for awhile is my Baby Girl's 1st birthday!!! Seriously...we're less than 2 months away! Can you believe that????!!! How fast did this year go? What have I been doing to be so sidetracked that a year has gone by and I barely noticed?? Wow!! She's getting so big....crawling all over the house and terrorizing her brother and sister. We've nailed down sleeping through the night...thankfully!! It took 10 months to do it...but here we are...FINALLY!!!!
Oh...before I wrap up I wanted to pass along a super yummy cake recipe that I came across over the weekend!! My son and I made a whole bunch of food for Super Bowl Sunday...and he wanted a football cake...so I came across this recipe. If you're a coffee fan you'll love it. It's super easy and REALLY moist!!! Now, this is supposed to be a football cake...but you could add some food dye and turn it into a big old heart for Valentine's...it's SOOOO good!!!!
