Valentine's 2015

I know I'm pretty late with sharing anything Valentine related (blaming pregnancy). But I'm stopping in right quick anyways on Valentine's Eve (what Adrienne calls it now) to share some Valentine's photos from around the house. 

A few years ago, I made Adrienne an adorable felt letter holder to hold little daily happies in. It was super easy to whip up, and I blogged about it HERE. 

This year, I've slacked on the daily happies (blaming pregnancy again), so the letter holder is more for decoration in our dinning room. 

And here are a few other Valentine decorations from around the house. Adrienne made this little heart craft last week:

My girlfriend's kiddos made this super cute snow globe: 

And we can never leave out a McCarty shell filled with candy for the corresponding holiday:

I hope you guys have a wonderful Valentine's weekend! I'll be back here next week with a great giveaway!

Love Day Outfit

Oreo Bites [Revisited]

Ahhh! Just a little more than two weeks before Valentine's Day. I'm pretty down with the commercialized holiday. I love the pinks and reds, the flowers, and even the conversation hearts. And I especially love the chocolate. #chocolatesareforever

That said, Oreo bites are my go to Valentine's treat. They are ridiculously easy to make and taste delicious. I've made them the last few years, and they haven't failed me yet.

Oreo Bites
|| ingredients ||
1 bag Bite Size Oreos
3 tubs of Baker's Dipping Chocolate or Melting Chocolates
Sea Salt

- Cover a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

- Follow the directions on the tub of dipping chocolate. You basically put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. When it's fully melted, put a few of the Oreo cookies in and give it a good stir. Get a pair of tongs and take the chocolate covered Oreos out and place them on the cookie sheet. Don't leave the Oreo cookies in the chocolate too long. They tend to melt.

- Sprinkle sea salt on every 6 or so Oreos.

- Done.

Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's guys! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend filled with tons of love! Oh, and since when did this holiday turn into Christmas for the kiddies? Here is the loot Adrienne got this morning! #sheesh
