It has been an extremely relaxing but busy February so far. How can something be relaxing but busy? Let’s just say I’ve had a lot going on, but also a lot of down time due to the crazy weather we have been having, along with events and fun things that have been really great! But also very exhausting! So there you have it, relaxing but busy.
I’ve been cooking a lot more lately and baking a little less. I am sort of gearing up for March which is filled with bridal and baby showers! I just ordered lace fondant molds to add a delicate touch to the upcoming displays I have planned which is getting me quite excited!
Highlights of the month:
I made some Valentine’s Day Dino’s which came out a bit sloppy due to their size (way too big! I totally misjudged the size of the cookie cutters I used, but they were yummy none-the-less).
It snowed. A lot.
Still moving into the apartment and making it feel like home. Our next project is shelves! Louis is building them from scratch, just like he did the bookcase!
I’ve been cooking a ton! Lots of warm veggie stir fries with wholesome ingredients! Delicious.
There was a knifing incident. I guess it was going to happen eventually, right? I was rushing as I chopped ginger root. Bye bye thumb!
Valentine’s Day consisted of a red wine chicken and veggies, candles and lots of merlot! Louis surprised me with flowers and Julia Child’s “The Art of Mastering French Cooking” which I have been wanting! I can’t wait to dive in!
I made awesome chocolate crinkle cookies topped with edible cookie dough heaveness.
Louis bought a gorgeous Swarovski pendant and prep cart for my birthday, perfect for cake pop workspace!
My brother flew all the way from Florida for an overnight to surprise me for my birthday which was so exciting! Him and Marissa brought me a TV for my upstairs living room and it was so great to see them!
It was a blizzard but we all went out for Chinese food then back to my apartment for a party to ring in the big 2-5 and it was so much fun. I am so blessed with amazing people in my life!
So, the proof is in the pudding—crazy month so far! But so much fun and love in there, I really can’t complain J
Oh except it snowed, again. And again. It’s everywhere. It’s still snowing. Still in the forecast. Snow. Ugh.
Looking forward to spring!
