Valentine’s Day! So much fun baking, cooking, and decorating. I never let a holiday pass without making a big fuss! And why not! Life is meant to enjoy, celebrated, and shared with loved ones. 

I have many memories from when my children were little; we’d decorate the house with their handmade valentines. And I continue to bring out the heart decorations, plates, trays and use them all week. 

I have a collection of heart-shaped lockets, necklaces, bracelets, and earrings from my husband that I adore. One day, I will pass these on to my granddaughters. They love hearts, also! 

I’ve included links to my Valentine’s Day recipes. The heart-shaped cake has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember. The Wilton’s heart-shaped cake pans are from when I was first married.
