{Giveaway} Valentine's Day Gift Box

Roses are Red

Violets are blue

Have you noticed that Valentine's Day has evolved throughout the years? It used to be a day about courtly love and lovers, but now it seems to be all about the expression of love, friendships and giving.

With that said... I would love to be your "winged Cupid" if you will. I'm giving away our Valentine's Day Gift Box.

What do you get in the gift box?

Valentine's Day Gift Box

Happy Belated New Year!

Can you believe its 14 days into the New Year! And only a month away from Valentine's Day?! Doesn't it seem like Christmas was yesterday? Well, it does for me. From November to January, it is none stop for us with a tiny break in-between before Valentine's Day.

Speaking of Valentine's Day... Our Valentine's Day Gift Box is here! This year, I wanted to combine flavors that scream romance to me. And nothing screams romance like; chocolates, berries and flowers! We combined all three flavors in one cute little box.

So, the end result was Chocolate Cassis Sables with Raspberry Jam, Chocolate Dipped Lavender Orange Sables Hearts and Hibiscus Rose Marshmallow.

Happy Holidays!

I probably say this every year, but... Can you believe it's Christmas *already*!

I've been baking away like a crazy woman the past 2 days for family gatherings that will starts today at my sister's house and end tomorrow at my brother-in-law's house. Before I start enjoying my family, I wanted to take a moment to wish you and your family the happiest of holidays!

Wishing you a festive holiday season!

{Cyber Monday} And Thanksgiving

Can you believe that Thanksgiving has already came and went?! It's going by so fast! By the way... Happy Belated Thanksgiving! Hope everyone enjoyed their time with family and friends. Rich and I shared our time with both sides of the family tree. As you can image, there was a lot of driving and eating. I'm still feeling bloated and I think I'm still in a turkey haze. I need some major detox!

Speaking of food! As I mentioned a million times before, I love autumn and I'm always inspired by it's flavors. So, I would like to share our latest seasonal cookie... Brown Sugar Pepita Sablés with Spiced Ganache.

Just Married!

{Lounge Area} Both pictures were taken by my mom :)

It’s official… My sister is now married!

And yes, we pulled it off! We accomplished our decorating mission! Believe it or not, I’m actually kind of shocked with what we achieved! If you recall (you can read the post here), I mentioned that we were trying to achieve a South Beach vibe with a tropical twist.

I have to admit though; it wasn’t smooth sailing when we arrived at the venue. Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. From making thirteen cement bases, sewing 20-something throw pillows, hand-cutting PVC pipes and to making Polynesian ceremonial flower rafts at 1:00AM. But it all came together and it was a beautiful wedding…

To the newlyweds,

We are so glad that the two of you have taken this step of love together. May you both grow to understand, respect and love one another more with each waking day. We wish you a very happy marriage and we can't wait to celebrate your love for years to come!

Congratulations!

Love always,

your big sister & brother-in-law
