An Old Irish Blessing

May love and laughter light your days,

and warm your heart and home.

wherever you may roam.

May peace and plenty bless your world

with joy that long endures.

May all life's passing seasons

bring the best to you and yours!

sparkling white wine, such as champagne or prosecco, well chilled

divide the passion-fruit nectar between two champagne glasses. top with the sparkling wine and serve.

next...the main course! mini pork rack with roasted potatoes.

and what's valtine's without something delicious for dessert?

romantic brownie sundaes

you can be a hero and make homemade brownies, or do what i always do...go for the ghirardelli double chocolate mix. super easy, moist, delish and always a crowd pleaser!

{Easy Peasy Valentine's Day Crafts}

I have to say, Valentine's Day does not get as much attention from me as it should. It's such a fun holiday, however, with our anniversary a few days after and Ryder's birthday a few days after that, I spend my time focusing on those two days instead. Valentine's Day sneaks up on me every year. LOL

I thought I would try to find something fun for the kids and I to do today that would be pretty easy since we are still on the mend. So, you know I turned to my fave crafty diva - Martha Stewart. She never lets me down. :-)

I think we will make these Valentine's for Brian today, to let him know he's "hands down" our favorite Daddy & Hubster.

If I had a little more time and my brain could focus, I would love to make this card. I think it is SO pretty....

For details on how to make this pretty quilled Valentine, just go here.

I think this Valentine is so decorative and festive. They simply decorated a clothes Pin with hearts and used the pin to keep the gift bag closed. So cute & it works double duty so you know I love that!

To make the clothes pin Valentine, just go here for all of the details.

I hope you're having a wonderful day!
