Valentine's Day

For most of my life, Valentine's Day was only punctuated by the teddy bears my Dad brought home for my sister, my brother, and me. Now, with a fabulous young man rounding the two year relationship mark, I feel I really have something to celebrate!
I began by researching recipes... admission: I love to cook. So out popped two homemade jams, heart-shaped brownies, and (here comes the Italian in me) triple-baked biscotti in a cute wicker basket. My favorite touch, however, is hands-down the handmade valentines I whipped up with some ribbon and a bag full of black buttons:
Since Scott is Air Force ROTC and his LLAB often keeps him out till midnight on Fridays (like it will tonight =/ ), i'll be leaving his bag of goodies on his front porch and hanging cupid's mementos over his front door. Take that!

hope your V Day is wonderful and full of surprises.
