celebrate: valentines day.


I am far from what you would call a Valentines day enthusiast, but I do appreciate any reason to do something special for those whom I love. While I don’t partake in lavish gifts and over-the-top celebrations, I like to recognize the event in little ways. Whether it’s for your significant other, your best friend or that neighbour who simply needs a pick-me-up, here are a few great ways to celebrate in a simple fashion. Besides, everyone could use some additional love now and again:

one:: heart-shaped egg in a hole
two:: paint edible hearts and messages on your dishes at brunch
three:: heart-shaped sugar cookies
four:: diy sugar cube hearts (for their morning coffee)
five:: cupid’s arrow red velvet cupcakes
six:: diy glitter cards

  4. I would be sooo happy for any of these on valentines day!! The little things are the sweetest! I would especially LOVE that heart shaped egg and toast!

  5. Oh my goodness, that heart toast is so adorable. As a self-proclaimed cupcake freak, I can tell you that I’ll definitely be making some sort of lovey themed cupcakes for Valentines. I also kind of wanted to try the heart-shaped cupcake trick with marbles that you see all over pinterest (like this: http://bit.ly/zCuukm). So fun!

  6. Love it! I SHOULD make a heart shaped toad in a hole breakfast for Jason on Vday! Thanks for the idea Jacquelyn. xo
