Recipe Gift Idea

I’ve been putting some thought into some Valentine’s Day gifts for the special people in my life. I think giving a small token of love is important on this fun day. Candy, or in my case chocolate, is always good, but how about giving a sentimental gift? They mean so much and are kept forever. For Christmas my daughter gave me this beautiful necklace of my son’s handwriting. It truly means so much to have this precious and sweet gift and will be something I will treasure forever. It has motivated me to put even more thought into the gifts or tokens of love I give.

I have a few recipes that were my grandmother’s that I treasure. I love the aged edges and that they are in her handwriting. Do you have keepsakes like this? Maybe some old journals or letters from a grandparent? Wouldn’t framed copies of your items make perfect gifts for your loved ones?

Sign Of Love

Does your house look empty after putting all your Christmas decor away? Mine does. I started going through my Valentine’s stuff and there wasn’t much. I debated if I should decorate a little with with a winter theme but decide a “Love” theme was more fun and it won’t be too long until that day is here. I decided I needed a sign and with a little rummaging through the supplies I already have this is what I came up with.

Delicious Salmon Bake

One of my goals for this new year is to get out of the recipe rut I’m in and eat healthier. I’m tired of the same old, same old, so I’m going to try a lot of new things and adjust them, if necessary, to make them more nutritious. I’m a big fan of salmon and this recipe turned out great.

We so hope this coming year is your best ever. Ours is starting off pretty great. We’ve got some fun plans, exciting adventures, and a new baby arriving in July. We are so blessed!

We’ve been passing around some pretty bad bugs between each other, but from what we hear most of you are, too. We hope this finds you all well.

I love when each new year rolls around. It’s a time to review what we’ve accomplished and what we need to become better at. I’ve certainly got a lot to work on, but I feel this is going to be a great year. I’m excited!
