happy love day — some favorite things of today a

happy love day — some favorite things of today and years past. highlights include — arlos table scape complete with his favorite heart folded napkins, izzy’s new baby whose messy face can be cleaned off with warm water and i’m sorry for the creepy video but you had to see 😆 the most romantic steak i’ve ever seen at the grocery store, and swipe all the way to the end to see how hard they partied for izzy’s first valentine’s day

i am quite passionate about the rom com genre! it’s the most delightful type of movie in existence. and i’ve finally created a list of faves for you to watch or revisit!

you’ve got mail >>> sleepless in seattle
someone had to say it.

music and lyrics beat out notting hill. lots of controversy on this list but actually maybe i should add notting hill because i do love it lol.

is defending your life a romcom? its both com and rom so why not right?

set it up is one of the best romcoms in the last decade i dont care who disagrees with me. (or do i?)

hoping some of the less obvious ones are not on your radar and you’ll love them as much as i do!

more personal anecdotes for each movie are on the blog if you’re into that sort of thing!

it’s been so long i’ve forgotten truly HOW MUC $it’s been so long i’ve forgotten truly HOW MUCH we’ve done to this house! because the fence was functioning and standing just fine, it just looked ugly, we decided to have it refaced which costs a fraction compared to redoing it. we got a few quotes for it ranging from $2500 - $7k can you guess which one we went with!? it literally took a few hours and our backyard was TRANSFORMED!! i also had them cut down the dog ears from the front gate and add a small trim piece to cap off the top and it’s like night and day for my eyeballs! the paint color is called “abstract gray” by @clarkandkensington #backyardrenovation #backyarddesign #fencedesign #backyardmakeover$

i made this football thing last year for the big football game but that’s the maximum amount of football things i’ll do!!!! 🏈

it was so easy and cute though — here’s how to make!

ingredients —
pizza dough
mozzarella sticks
1 egg
flaky salt

for the garlic herb butter—
4 tb butter
1/4 cup grated parmesan
2 minced cloves of garlic
chopped parsley and basil
salt and pepper

recipe—
· preheat oven to 400
· cut cheese sticks into 1 inch pieces.
· divide pizza dough into 30ish pieces. press them into small rectangles, add a chunk of cheese into the middle and wrap dough around, pinch it closed and roll into balls.
· place them on a parchment lined baking sheet into the shape of a football, brush egg on top and sprinkle with flaky salt.
· bake for 18 minutes and then broil for 2-3 so they get golden on top.
· mix together the garlic herb butter ingredients and brush on top.
· cut another string cheese into small slices and arrange as the laces, serve with marinara!!!

💌 a very sweet little place setting for valentine’s day 💌

all you need is white napkins and little red hearts— i painted wood craft hearts red and wrote with a white paint pen. then simply fold your napkin like an envelope!

i love a unique place card but i’m especially into the fact that it’s double duty!!

if you want the links sent to your dms, comment VALENTINE ❤️❤️ and i’ll send em straight to you.
