Valentine's Day

 

What a wonderful day full of love. Every day is and should be that way. 

 

 

The hubs had a little work in the morning, but I got to sleep in a bit, so we didn't miss much time away. Kicked off the morning with a good workout, because showing your health some love is important too. Brooklynn joined me by trying to mimick everything I was doing. I'll have to get it on video next time. She's pretty much the cutest thing ever. We followed it up with a nutritious and festive lunch... 

 

If you know me, I relish the opportunity to play with my food. By which I mean, make it cutesy and themed. Yes, I'm THAT mom. My tot appreciates it and it makes me smile. XO.

We read some Valentine and lovey books to get B into her nap, and afterward it was off to the park... 

 

 

 

We love the playground and the park. We love the swings and the slides. We love the sunshine and beautiful days. We love heart print things and Valentine's. Most of all, we love each other.

 

 

 

 

After a day full of fun and me playing Mamarazzi, we flew to dinner. Literally...

 

We enjoyed a delicious dinner together at one of our favorite sea food restaurants. Afterward, we went for a night time stroll around some local shops. We made our stop at B's favorite waterfall to say hello and blow kisses to all of the Nemo characters she thinks are in the pond. Coffee in hand, pretty views in our eyes, and love in our hearts. It was a beautiful day.

Brooklynn thought Valentine's Day really rocked and we hope yours was filled with love too!

hearts on hearts on hearts<3

Some bits of love from our lovely Valentine's Day...

This mama was feeling creative and loving, so naturally I made festive breakfast for Travis and Brooklynn.

Travis got a hearty breakfast of heart-shaped eggs in toast with heart toast cutouts for yolk dipping and funky-shaped heart-shaped bacon. 

He followed it up with lots of smooches, so I'd say he got the message "I <3 you!"

Brooklynn got heart-shaped pancakes  drizzled in almond butter. (healthy recipe here, just cook batter like pancakes instead of cookies.) 

Clearly, she was a fan.(: 

She also loved her Valentine's presents...

"Happy Valentine's, Curious George." and an elovephant, or that's what I'm calling it anyway. 

Then I had way too much fun playing with Cupid...

I mean, does it get any cuter?!(:

Travis made us a fantastic dinner of Quinoa pasta with a coconut milk and truffle sauce, mushrooms, asparagus, shrimp, and parmesan. I accidentally ate the kale, Brussels, and green apple salad before photographing it. oops. 

I'm such a lucky girl to have such a talented chef for a hubby.(: 

We hope your day was filled with love and heart-shaped things, and of course as we believe; love love love every day of the year.<333

xoxo.
