I was gone most of the day Monday preparing for today.

Somehow this ordinary Tuesday turned into the day that we’re adopting a kitten.

A year and a half ago, we were a family without pets. Now we’re all in.

I have a very happy 15-year-old girl living down the hall from me.

For this week’s Delicious Dishes Recipe Party, each of the hosts has chosen their favorite part of a 6-course Valentine’s Day dinner. Then we put them all together to create a delicious fancy (and dare I say romantic?) dinner.

Can you believe it’s the end of January? The year is already flying by! Today my 3rd child turns 17. He’s been taller than both of his parents for years now, he’s a junior in high school, on the varsity cross country and track teams, and he’s a kind and social teenager. He makes a mama proud!

Because it’s the end of the month, and because I am SO close to meeting my big sales goal for my LuLaRoe business, I thought I’d reach out to you guys. There’s no pressure at all, but if you love buttery soft leggings or need a new shirt or sweater (or anything in between), would you please consider making a purchase from me today? I would SO appreciate it! I’ve got a special deal going on through end-of-day Wednesday. Shop or just browse here: https://sonlet.com/party/1595836638p/

Now let’s turn our focus back to our yummy party! I don’t know if it’s the colors this week or if this is a particularly delicious collection of recipes, but my mouth is watering!

One of my favorite DIY beauty items to make are lotion bars (check out my other lotion bar recipe here). They are easy to make and give your skin a quick burst of moisture and heavenly scent! This particular recipe for Rose & Lavender Lotion bars is perfect year round to hydrate your skin, but it’s particularly suited for a homemade Valentine’s Day gift.

You just need a few natural ingredients to get started and you will have a handful of lotion bars ready to keep or gift to friends and family. Note: I’ve linked to several of the ingredients you’ll need for this DIY project. They’re affiliate links, so I can earn a small commission should you choose to buy something. You’ll never pay more, though!

How to Make DIY Rose & Lavender Lotion Bars

You will need:

DIY Rose and Lavender lotion bars with all natural ingredients from Food Fun Family

Directions:

  • Place shea butter, coconut oil, and beeswax granules in a small pot over medium low heat. Stir frequently until mixture is completely melted.
  • Remove from heat, and stir in essential oils well.
  • Carefully pour or spoon melted mixture into silicone mold.
  • Allow to set until completely cool and firm about 3-4 hours at least.
  • Carefully remove each lotion bar from the mold and store in a glass container in a cool dark space. I prefer to keep mine in the refrigerator and pull one at a timeout to use.

To use: Rub lotion bar over warm skin (it melts at body temperature) and enjoy the scent and moisture it provides to your skin.

The number of lotion bars this recipe will yield depends on the size of the mold; smaller shapes will make more lotion bars and larger molds will make fewer.

HI GUYS!

Need a last-minute Valentine’s Day gift? My daughter made these “52 Things I Love About You” cards for her fiancé and sent the pictures over to me so that I could share her fun DIY Valentine’s Day gift. Because let’s face it….there are a LOT of us out there who need some help when it comes to Valentine’s Day gifts.

Looking for a quick and cheap or last-minute gift idea for Valentine's Day? Your sweetheart is going to love these "52 Things I Love About You" cards. This would be a fun Valentine's Day craft for kids to make for a parent, too!

Also…

My daughter has a fiancé.

Did you catch that?

My daughter is getting married. In April. I’m excited and happy and terrified and in shock all at the same time (only because I am simply not old enough to have a married child, right?? Please just agree with me here).

Honestly, I really AM excited. She is happy. He is wonderful. What more could a mom ask?

Kim shared this easy craft with me just in case there were others of you out there who might need a little assistance this weekend. I love that it uses stuff that most of us have lying around the house (I know we’ve got a bunch of playing cards sitting around ALL over the house (my 10-year-old is currently into “card throwing.” I never knew it was a THING until he started throwing cards at my old foam boards. So…maybe I have too many cards lying around. Hmm…

Looking for a quick and cheap or last-minute gift idea for Valentine's Day? Your sweetheart is going to love these "52 Things I Love About You" cards. This would be a fun Valentine's Day craft for kids to make for a parent, too!

How to Make a 52 Things I Love About You Cards

Supplies Needed:

Note: Amazon links are used below so you can easily see or find supplies.

Looking for a quick and cheap or last-minute gift idea for Valentine's Day? Your sweetheart is going to love these "52 Things I Love About You" cards. This would be a fun Valentine's Day craft for kids to make for a parent, too!

How to Assemble Your Gift:

  • First, you’ll want to create a document with 52 things you love about your gift recipient. Make 2 “extra” pieces (which will be attached to the Joker cards) for the front cover (“52 Things I Love About You”) and the back cover (“Love, your name”). Each saying should be about 1.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches tall. You can fit 5 across (5 columns) and 4 down (for a total of 20 per page).
  • Print and cut out your sayings.
  • Set aside the Jokers and any extra cards in your desk (you just want to use the regular cards for this part. Spread a thin, even layer of Modpodge over the back side (ie, the pattern, not the number) of each card and secure one saying. Press down to flatten and work out any bubbles. Spread another thin, even layer of Modpodge over the top of the papers to seal. Repeat with the rest of your cards and printed messages.
  • Use Modpodge to secure the front and back cover sheets to the Joker cards. Finish them the same as above. Let everything dry.
  • Take one of those unused cards and punch two holes in the left side. Use that card as a template to punch holes in your finished cards so that you can ensure the holes are going to line up properly when you put the “book” together.
  • Secure your book together with binder rings (with front and back cover cards facing out so it looks like a finished book).

That’s it!

Looking for a quick and cheap or last-minute gift idea for Valentine's Day? Your sweetheart is going to love these "52 Things I Love About You" cards. This would be a fun Valentine's Day craft for kids to make for a parent, too!

This DIY gift costs less than $10 (and even LESS than that if you’ve already got the supplies on hand).

Happy Valentine’s Day! I want to hear ALL about it after the weekend. Deal?

Thank you TruMoo for sponsoring this post and triple chocolate waffles recipe! Try TruMoo in more delicious recipes this season!

These Triple Chocolate Waffles with Raspberry Sauce are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of chocolate and sugar. Cocoa powder, TruMoo chocolate milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips combine to make the perfect chocolate waffle for a special breakfast treat! They’re delicious enough on their own, but with the addition of a homemade raspberry sauce, this is a Valentine's Day breakfast to die for!

Tis the time of year for hot chocolate, and I have a new favorite way to enjoy it. It’s the easiest, tastiest, creamiest hot chocolate ever – and all I have to do is heat up a mug of TruMoo chocolate milk. Seriously! You’ve got to try it! My youngest son is a hot chocolate fanatic, and it has passed his test. I love giving it to him because I know that he’s getting nutrition that he needs. Plus, TruMoo has NO artificial growth hormones*, NO high fructose corn syrup and a delicious taste kids (and adults!) love.

They’re delicious enough on their own, but with the addition of a homemade raspberry sauce, this is a Valentine's Day breakfast to die for!

Because we’ve been enjoying TruMoo HOT this month, I figured it would be fun to use it in a hot breakfast recipe for Valentine’s Day (my favorite!). And what better to celebrate Valentine’s Day than chocolate and red berries?

These Triple Chocolate Waffles with Raspberry Sauce are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of chocolate and sugar. Cocoa powder, TruMoo chocolate milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips combine to make the perfect chocolate waffle for a special breakfast treat! They’re delicious enough on their own, but with the addition of a homemade raspberry sauce, this is a Valentine's Day breakfast to die for!

The answer is…there is nothing better.

As picky as my son is about his hot chocolate, I’m pretty picky about my waffles. I was concerned before starting my recipe that these waffles not be too sweet or dense or dessert-like because I wanted them to be appropriate for a special breakfast. I was pleased that these waffles were light and fluffy, with just the right amount of chocolate and sugar. I had my husband test taste the very first waffle that came off the waffle iron, and he was so impressed that he immediately asked for another one.

Triple Chocolate Waffles with Raspberry Sauce
 
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
 
Author:
Ingredients
Waffles:
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup TruMoo chocolate milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
Raspberry sauce:
  • 1 cup frozen raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
  1. Preheat waffle iron.
  2. Add all waffle ingredients except for the chocolate chips into a medium mixing bowl and stir or beat just until thoroughly mixed and smooth. Stir in chocolate chips.
  3. Pour waffle batter onto heated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron's directions. Remove waffle when cooked through and keep warm until ready to serve. I like to stick mine on an oven-safe plate in a warm oven.
  4. Serve with raspberry sauce and whipped cream and a side of TruMoo hot chocolate or make it simple and serve with powdered sugar (and more hot chocolate, of course!).
To make the raspberry sauce:
  1. Toss the frozen raspberries with sugar and cornstarch. Add raspberry mixture to a small saucepan over medium heat. Add cold water and lemon juice and stir. Continue stirring for several minutes, until raspberry sauce thickens and becomes translucent and a darker shade of red. Remove from heat and pour, hot, over your waffles.
  2. Note: I did not have to mash my raspberries, because by the time the sauce was finished cooking, they had softened and broken up on their own. If you have large chunks of berries in your sauce, you may want to mash them before serving.
Notes
Note: this recipe will yield a different amount of servings depending on the size of your waffle maker. We made about 8 waffles on ours.

These Triple Chocolate Waffles with Raspberry Sauce are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of chocolate and sugar. Cocoa powder, TruMoo chocolate milk, and semi-sweet chocolate chips combine to make the perfect chocolate waffle for a special breakfast treat! They’re delicious enough on their own, but with the addition of a homemade raspberry sauce, this is a Valentine's Day breakfast to die for!

Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl stir together all ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
  2. Add a bit more coconut oil if you find your mixture is too thick.
  3. Transfer mixture to a container with a tight fitting lid - mason jars are quite handy for this.
  4. If you are making this to give as a gift be sure to create a simple handmade tag letting the recipient know the “flavor” and maybe the ingredients. I'm including a simple gift tag here that you can print off and use for free.

 

To Use Your Sugar Scrub:

1 – Scoop out a generous amount onto damp skin, massage in a circular motion, rinse completely away, pat skin dry with a towel.
2 – Sugar scrub will be good stored for several months in an airtight container.

How to Print Labels To Give this Sugar Scrub as a Gift

Here’s a simple label you can use for the top of your jar. I’ve included one graphic image, and there are 2 easy ways you can use this. First, save the image to your computer.

Option #1 is to go to Avery Design & Print Online and use their free templates program to print them off on their stickers. Just enter design #22807 in the “start a new project” box and then click go. That will bring you to a page of lots of templates. If you want to use my design, click on the blank white circle (the first “design” there) and click next again. You’ll then see a big “graphing” circle in the middle of the screen. Click on “images” on the left menu and upload this image. Drag it til it fits the entire space provided. Viola! You should see the design populating the entire sheet to the right. You can print them on Avery labels OR you can just print them on any paper. (get the Avery circle labels here)

Option #2 is to open up a word document and insert this image as a file into a blank document. You can add as many as you want on a sheet, dragging to make it your desired size. I would probably opt to print on card stock versus regular printer paper.

If those options sound too complicated, then you can always add a scrap of fabric under the rim of your mason jar or tie a simple ribbon around the lid. Instant present-ready!
