Conversation Heart Cookies

Everything is cuter in cookie form, in my opinion. Especially when it involves pink and hearts. Since I have a rather unhealthy obsession with conversation hearts, I decided to use the idea and recreate them as sugar cookies. I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe, made icing in the colors of the candies, and wrote my own little notes.

 

DIY: Heart Candle

Valentine’s Day is approaching quickly, no matter if you are spending it with girlfriends, a significant other….etc. Spoil yourself with a DIY heart candle martini glass….the hearts glow when the candle is lit!

Step 1: Place foil in the cavities of a muffin tin.

Step 2: Melt wax in your desired heart color and pour into a foil cavity.
(I melted a half used Yankee Candle)

Step 3: While your heart wax is cooling melt your main color. Spoon a small amount into your martini glass and insert the wick.

 Step 4: While wax is still semi soft cut out your heart shapes.

Step 5: Press wax hearts to the side of your glass while they are still pliable. Once they become firm they will not stick to the glass and you will get your main color between the hearts and the glass.

Step 6: Pour in your main color and allow to harden.

 Step 7: Light and enjoy!

This week all things girly have been inspiring me, from the heart suncatcher in my living room to new décor for the bathroom. It’s the little things that are getting me through this snowstorm (which is going to leave me snowed in this weekend). My weekend will be filled with time in the kitchen making treats for Jack, Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day themed goodies. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! xx

Peanut Butter and Banana Dog Treat

Valentine’s Day is not just for you and I it’s for our pets as well, and I have a perfectly easy Valentine’s Day dog treat recipe. All you need is silicon ice trays (I bought heart ones from Target for $2) a banana and a half a cup of peanut butter. Smash the banana (I heated mine in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften it up) and mix in the peanut butter. Spoon into the tray and freeze. Your pup will love you and the banana will help prevent cramping.
