Fun Ways We Celebrate Love

We hope you all had as much fun over Valentines as we did …


Paula celebrated with her husband and the minis! Nothing beats snuggling and playing hide and seek hearts with the little ones.

Hillary and her husband enjoyed these decedent and delicious Red Velvet Cupcakes … yummy. Cupcakes are such a cute and simple way to make an event special, and even better, these festive cupcakes came from Costco. Affordable decadence.



Jessica and her hub celebrated with a do-it yourself fondue party with some of their dear friends. The menu began with a cheese fondue which was a mix of milk, garlic, Worchester sauce, dry mustard, and shredded cheddar cheese. Dippings were an assortment of homemade bread, raw cauliflower and broccoli. Next up was the meat (pro-tip: it's best to cook with peanut oil) which consisted of chicken, beef and shrimp and some fun dipping sauces like BBQ and an Anchovy Aioli. Last but not least, the CHOCOLATE!! It's so easy, just make sure you use melting or dipping chocolate. Traditional chocolate chips have a very low burning point — so they can burn really fast and easily. So go with melting chocolate because it has a more manageable heat tolerance. And of course, dip whatever goes with chocolate — fruit, marshmallows, graham crackers ... fondue is fun to do!




We hope you all enjoyed a fun celebration with your Valentine!
