Valentine's 2019 ❤
February 20, 2019
A few photos of the past week below, as is tradition...
Flowers everywhere. My favourite.
A pretty display.
We were in America a couple of weeks before Valentine's Day where they go crazy for Valentine's. As in, three huge aisles in every shop, and I think there's a tradition for children to give a card or packet of sweets to every child in their class for Valentine's Day? Cute. What it meant for me was more Valentine's paraphernalia that I probably didn't need to bring home with me, but couldn't resist these cookie cutters from Target.
Ombre icing.
Sweets for my sweet. A tradition I'm not ready to give up just yet.
The annual lounge decorating <3.
Valentine's appropriate clothes. Alll the hearts please. {Joules very kindly sent the above jumper and shirt}
We had planned a Valentine's lunch and day out but had been so busy that week with a full day out for our 20 week scan and a John Lewis Nursery appointment, followed by hypnobirthing for half a day on the Friday, that we realised that we probably couldn't justify more time out so decided to cook a special dinner in together instead.
Like some of our very first Valentine's together <3. We cooked a seafood risotto, scallops and a roasted cauliflower starter trying to recreate a favourite of ours from a restaurant in Palm Springs - it worked!, followed by raspberry souffles {see this old blog post}. - if it looks like there's a lot of food here, there was! We doubled it up for a couple of day's worth of dinners.
Cooking together, albeit all a bit rushed because we were starving, was fun and then we went out shopping in Homesense for a rug for the nursery!
This Valentine's was definitely all about this growing baby Bee. But I wouldn't want it any other way.
