Happy Hearts Day!

Most people aren't too crazy about Valentine's day...but I'm not one of those people! I love Valentine's day... I love all holidays! Today was a special Valentine's day for me, because I got to spend it with my forever Valentine, my husband. It is also a great feeling to not have to share him with the Navy on these holiday's anymore. ;) 


Last night we made a sweet-cheat-treat....chocolate covered strawberries! 




I thought I would try and be good by getting unsweetened chocolate, bad BAD idea! 
It was so gross. Thank goodness we taste tested it before dipping the strawberries. 




I did a double broiler on the stove to melt the chocolate and then dipped the strawberries in the semi-sweet chocolate. Next I melted the white chocolate to drizzle on the strawberries....it got a little messy! 
(using a whisk helps!) 



As far as gifts go, we kept it simple this year, nothing over the top! 

I made some coffee mugs and got him white coffee, which is our favorite! 
The mugs were from the dollar tree, so it was a cheap and easy gift! 
Plus the cute red mugs match our kitchen.

I used a oil based paint pen instead of a sharpie (I was told that it stays on better) and you bake them for  30 minutes at 350. *Hand wash only* 


I'm so cheesy! I can't help it. ;)


Kris spoiled me with an edible arrangement, so cute and yummy! I have wanted one for a long time, and I finally got one! <3


This is SO me. ;) 


We started out our day with a great gym session. Arms and abs! Of course I had to rock my pink shoes and pink yoga pants. <3 For breakfast I made PINK strawberry banana protein shakes and egg mc'muffins.
