St. Valentines was Sunday. We did the typical at home dinner with candles. We haven’t been out for valentines day in YEARS. I know we are the odd balls, and that is just fine. In late 2019 I stopped drinking coffee, using refined sugar and using dairy. Yup, 2020 was interesting on all levels. However, I did grab some local chocolates this year for valentines to give to my valentine. In the end I also snacked on those sweets. All in moderation, right? In 2021 this week also holds Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras… both of which I celebrate because glitter and costumes (and donuts) – Yes please!
Tuesday my kiddos made fun Mardi Gras masks as they complained about their dislike of Paczki’s. The hubs had thoughtfully picked up a few at our local bakery and I may have had one myself. Surprisingly, the kids also found one of the five that they found acceptable to consume. (*enter a snicker there)
So this week, although so far it hasn’t all been sweet, has a sweet theme. Let’s see what we all come up with on this topic. I am guessing most of us could share something on this topic!
We make valentine treats for the local birdies, and this is sweet!
