Every morning I bring my husband tea in bed. Can't really remember when it started, but that's how we roll. He loves tea. And love him. So that's probably why... Anyways, this Valentine's I decided to serve a little extra sweetness along with the tea.
OK, so we're all geared up for Valentine's here and will be bringing you some super fabulous posts in the next few weeks! This is one super easy and tasty DIY party favor or gift to make for classroom friends, teachers, neighbors or to embellish you party dessert tables!
There's nothing better than a good old Cheese and Wine Party to warm your cockles in the cold winter months! It's quite a relaxed way to entertain in my view, but also a fun way to savor the remaining goodies left from your Christmas pantry! Now that my kids are schooled full time, hubby and I find ourselves having romantic lunch dates. Hence this impromptu little tablescape! ;) Hope you like these quick ideas + some FREE printables for you to download !

How to Make DIY Chocolate Covered Oreos
Chocolate Covered Oreos have been a permanent fixture on desert tables now, and I usually get my designer Oreos from either of my two favorite vendors: Sweeties by Kim or Sweet Temptations.

Mine are nooooo way near as fabulous as the ones from the vendors above, but they tasted pretty yummy, and very handy when you're in a pinch! ;)
