I whipped up the batter in my KitchenAid® Artisan® Mini Stand Mixer (have you entered to win?)
This time I used these cute paper loaf pans.
Mini chocolate chips (my new Nestle favorite baking chips!) and fresh strawberries.
So sweet for the season.
For Valentine’s Day today, I’m thinking about all the special friends in my life. My thoughts go back to my teen years, those influential in my life like my best friend, Lisa, my 10 roommates (and 12 weddings that I was in), in my 20s, my sisters, parents, so many close friends back then who are still dear to my heart today. And then, my husband and 3 amazing kids. I am truly blessed.
My heart is full of love today!
I came across this picture of Paul and me, one of our first dates!
25 years later, I’m happy to say that we are still in love.
He’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I feel like the luckiest girl on the planet.
I also set out some chocolates on this plate before we left town last week. Years ago when my mom passed away, I preserved her handwriting from a card, and put it onto a plate. (DIY Transfer Handwriting to a Plate)
… Love, Mom xox
