Be Mine

Valentine's Day
has never been a very important holiday to me. Since I've had children, every holiday seems to be alittle more important. Not to mention a heck of a lot of fun! So this Valentine's Day, I decided I would get my butt in gear and plan some fun for my little girl.
Let me give you some background on Misses . . . she is a dress wearing, hair bow toting, twirling princess every single day. She could definitely give Fancy Nancy a run for her money. So Valentine's Day with all the frills and flowers is right up her alley.
As I am not too creative, I have been trying hard to channel Martha Stewart through all this, and this is how it all went . . .

A few weeks ago we made some decorations.

This is a re-purposed Pinterest Christmas pin. The hearts and circles are cut out of Gymboree gift boxes using a cookie cutter as a guide. They are hung from an old curtain rod with tulle and twine that we had on hand. Oh and Misses added some fancy jewels to them too. Martha wouldn't find it too fancy, but it was a fun craft that Misses and I did together. Not to mention, I can leave it up and switch out the hearts for shamrocks next month and then Easter eggs in April. This way I don't have to try too terribly hard or spend a lot of money to decorate for the holidays.

For breakfast I tried to create yet another Pinterest pin (originally from Martha Stewart).

This is what it is suppose to look like.

My efforts to create this breakfast . . .

Everything started off great. I made the toast and cut out the center with the heart-shaped cookie cutter.

I put the toast in the skillet inserted the cookie cutter and put egg in the middle. Seemed simple enough.

This is how one of them turned out. It doesn't quite look like the original.

But it still tasted good.

I tried covering the pan this time and the result looks somewhat better, but the underside of that toast is BLACK! Thankfully Misses isn't picky and ate it anyway.

Oh and if you are wondering it is low cal too!

Lunch was much easier because I have mad cookie cutter skills.

Dinner was awesome and easy thanks to Papa Johns for having a heart-shaped pizza and delivery!
