LOVE is in the air! And no, I am
not just talking about Romantic Love!! I am talking about the love of our families, our friends, our pets, etc. I consider all of you my "Gal"entines so let's toss some love around and answer these fun February TBB ASKS LOVE questions!
2. Candy or Flowers? I truly like both and I
do bring in fresh flower bouquets every week. I must say a
favorite candy to receive is a box of assorted ones from a really good
candy shop. I eat a corner, if it's one I like, I eat it, if not, it
gets pitched. So indulgent. I do like to give super fun gifts to the
kids and my man, like this one I gave Mr. Nine here: The Valentine Goodie Gram!
3. Baking or Cooking? You all know from my weekly Tasty Tuesday recipes that I LOVE both and show my family my love by baking and cooking! I would say one of my favorite baked goods to bake are the Sea Salt Caramel Oatmeal Bars and for Valentines, I've been known to cook up Heart Shaped Turkey Meatloaves and pink mashed potatoes!
4. Do you remember your first
kiss? My first
actual kiss was the summer after 8th grade in my parent's basement with a
boy from a rival school. All I remember was his name was Jason Skwarcan with
blonde hair and it was quick. My first kiss with Mr. Nine was in
my laundry room as he was leaving after our 2nd meeting. I wanted it
to last forever. Essentially, it has!
6. Conversation Hearts,
yes or no? A BIG Yes, but only the green, yellow and white ones. I throw this others out, lol
7. Do you leave love
notes? Yeppers. For Mr. Nine, the kids, my friends, my mom. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE notes. A little note can make someone's day!
8. Do you decorate for
Valentine’s Day? Last year I showed you my Valentine's
Day Decor at the old house. This year, about the only thing
Valentine related in the new house is this fluffy Heart Pillow on my
new favorite chair in my office! (From Hobby Lobby!)
9. Red or Pink? LOVE to wear red and red at Christmas but I like other things in pink!
10. Milk, White or Dark
Chocolate? Probably milk but I do
not like Chocolate just by itself, it has to have caramel or nuts, peanut butter or toffee, etc. Now if it is baked goods, I tend to create a lot of
yummy White Chocolate recipes like my White
Chocolate Pink Moscato Cupcakes or White
Chocolate Pistachio Toffee

11. Do you believe
in love at first sight? Sure Do!
12. Do you give Humorous
or Serious Valentine Cards? I've given both but I tend to be more
sentimental and usually give Mr. Nine a serious, mushy one!
13. Favorite Chick Flick
or Romantic Movie? Pretty Woman! You can see my re-creation of her brown Polka Dot dress HERE
And we just watched Home
Again with precious Reese. This is a good one, even Mr.
Nine liked it a lot!
14. Stay In or Go Out? "IN" baby, we stay in! In
fact, just ordered a sign for the house that says "Let's Stay In!"
I hope you have a GREAT day. My eyes are still puffy from "This Is Us" last night and staying up waaaaay past my bedtime.
LOVE at all TIMES!! xo
