Single Awareness Week

The week where everyone tells everyone they love each other with chocolates, flowers, and sweet cards. The kids made Valentine cupcakes for Daddy's work and delivered some to the neighbors too. Of course we had dark chocolates at home to enjoy with homemade cards and gifts from friends. Papa and Nana were soaking up the sun on a cruise with Gigi and Auntie Traci. Even though its still winter time the sun has been peaking through the clouds lots this week and then came the high winds that always scare mommy and make her think every tree is going to come crashing down on the house. Happy Valentine's Week!

Chilling our Way Through February

Okay folks. The month for couples to spend money on a day that I think is silly when every day should be Valentine's day. The month full of New Year's resolutions completely side-tracked with chocolate roses, truffles, and my favorite, chocolate dipped strawberries. We started the month with chores, sunshine, and preparations for tropical trips and plan to end it with birthday celebrations. With leftovers from game-day comes harder workouts and healthy choices later in the day too. Someone needs to eat them! What a waste to leave yummy bean dip or butter-smothered bread sit and go to waste?!! I took one for the team. As a past client used to say it, "Happy Single Awareness Month!"
