After we picked up the toddler, we stopped by the cupcake place, and the toddler got to enjoy a mini cupcake… :-) We don't let him have one very often, so it was a very special treat for him...
Today, we'll start the day with some sparkling wine with POM Wonderful juice (POM sent us the juice to sample a few weeks ago). The drink is the perfect color for Valentine’s Day, and it tastes great! The photo is from the other day… :-)
Questions: Do you like Valentine’s Day? How are you celebrating? I’m not the biggest fan of the commercial side of Valentine’s Day, but I think there is nothing wrong with letting others know how much they mean to you… Also, the toddler got to experience his first Valentine’s party at preschool and loved every second of it, which changed my view a bit… :-)
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Be well,
Andrea
beautiful roses and delicious food! so glad to know that you were able to celebrate V-day with your love! :D
ReplyDeleteI am like you, I don't like to commercial side of V-day but totally love the idea to have another reason to express our love! :)
How sweet! I love hearing about the toddler - his little social life is adorable!! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteThe toddler is so cute eating his mini cupcake. hehehe... I don't really celebrate Valentine's. Aside from passing out some Hershey kisses. i like to go the simple route.
ReplyDeletehappy vday! i want a cupcake too!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day! I had cupcakes to celebrate, too. Though, mine weren't mini. ;)
ReplyDeleteDinner looks wonderful! We went to a hockey game last night to celebrate and today I have 2 hockey games, so we'll just make dinner at home after my last game. I just like being with Mark, Valentine's Day or any day :)
ReplyDeleteoh I love the presentation of those lettuce wraps! Looks like a great meal!
ReplyDeletehi andrea!
ReplyDeletelove the food pics, esp the lettuce wraps. that mound of beans is perfect!
anyway we dont really celebrate. hubs got me a dozen roses, that was that. we have a kid, so dinner out is not gonna happen b/c no babysitter and even if there was, meh, to most restaurant food.
happy vday to you!!!
I would like a mini cupcake! I like Valentine's Day. We get the kids a tiny bit of candy and the older kids make cards for everyone. It's just a simple day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking meal!
ReplyDeleteWe don't make too big a deal of v-day. The dance we go to each year is also the kids school's major fund raiser for the year so it serves a double purpose.
Beautiful roses! Your dinner looks great (especially the lettuce wraps!!!). We went out to dinner to celebrate V-day.
ReplyDeleteYummy, looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteThe boyfriend and I didn't celebrate Valentine's Day; neither of us are much into these kinds of holidays. We like going out for dinner "just because" instead (less pressure, hehe). So instead I spent the day by myself yesterday, reading and relaxing. It was heaven, to be honest.
I always love your restaurant pics..makes me hungry and the food is always new things to me! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletewe had cupcakes too. but I made them and they weren't the prettiest.
I love to share how much we love each other at home, but I too hate the commercialism side to all holidays. JEEZ, jewelry stores...I know where to get a bracelet if I need one. don't need to bombard me with commercials and such.
haha
Happy Happy Valentine's Day my friend! Looks like you had a sweet one!
xo
Beautiful presentation of the lettuce wraps. Sounds like a wonderful V-day. We currently have 3 boquets of flowers in my apartment!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely celebration and a delicious meal!
