I love how the colors got deeper and darker after the mug was fired. I also like the shininess... I'd use that mug often! :)

V-day we don't do gifts as a rule, we buy stuff when we need it not on some particular day... but, I caught my guy reading this the other day... http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/02/10-ways-to-a-geeky-girls-heart/...

Since I suck at surprises and he saw that I saw him reading, he showed it to me... after which I said...
Game night either board games or video games, daisies, and I'd love for you to ask me how to cook something specific and we cook together in the kitchen... :)

I read this post yesterday but couldn't comment at work. I am reading via my Kindle but commenting is tricky. ( and time consuming which I don't have anymore on breaks at work)

I'm still here, just trying to re-negotiate my blog time.

I kept expecting the Beatles to enter the shot in your second photo. ツ

Skylar, I just looooooove your Fashionista Barbie. Your Birthday mug is very beautiful too. What a fun day you had! Lucky girl.

Guess what I did during the blizzard du jour? Made raw chocolate-covered strawberries! A V-Day staple, for sure. The question is, will they last until Sunday? Ummmmm, probably not.

Of course I'd cover some crazy delicious (un)vegan fudge with sprinkles!! Actually, now that I think of it, chocolate dipped strawberries, dipped in sprinkles sounds really good! Thanks for being my muse :)

Back in the days when I had a boyfriend, we always did very low key Valentines Days. No gifts, and a cheap dinner out (last year was to a diner at a gas station). This year, I have a big blogger meet-up scheduled which should be a blast!

Oh, and I almost always do homemade gifts unless I find something that the other person will reallyreally like. I actually painted pottery for xmas this year! Although, I think I've got some artistic competition now that Skylar's on the scene ;)

We're rubbish at celebrating Valentine's. Last year (and this year) we spent it with the in-laws. We probably won't buy each other anything either. Wow, we sound so boring! We may go out somewhere for a nice meal though :)

PS I LOVE your peanut butter cups!

2010-02-10T08:06:37.559-08:00

No special plans for me this year. Im working all day long from 11:30 to 7 so that should be fun. I put together a nice basket of vegan goodies for my mama so hopefully she will like them :)

2010-02-10T07:28:24.832-08:00

My husband and I used to do gifts on valentines day until our daughter was born. Now he just gets me flowers and I get him candy. We get a sitter and go out to dinner alone. Thats all we really want these days is a little husband and wife time :) Plus christmas JUST PASSED! My husbands birthday is in a couple weeks and my birthday is in march. Its expensive this time of year lol.

2010-02-10T06:53:33.033-08:00

The mug turned out soooooo cute!!! We've been together over ten years, and we're to the point where we'd rather just be together and DO something instead of give something. I took Monday off so we could hang out and Saturday we're going to explore Vashon Island, a part of Seattle that neither one of us has been to. You take a short ferry ride so it will feel like a little (cheap) getaway.

2010-02-10T06:41:55.506-08:00

Ahhhh - I can't comment on any BLOGspots from my own computer - only on someone else's - which is only in a blue moon - but I'm still reading -promise!!! Your pictures are beyond ridiculously good - chocolate-covered strawberries!
OMG to that vegan fudge seriously - toooooooooooo good looking. I've never tried coconut oil...seems to be uber-popular now though...

2010-02-10T06:14:44.744-08:00

I am definitely a homemade gift kinda gal! You sound like us...we have been together for almost 16 years and married for almost 15 (we were really young when we got married). We have two kids and the gift giving stuff is more for them! I think spending time together is the best gift that my husband and I could give each other. Sounds corny, but it is very true!

2010-02-10T06:07:16.733-08:00

I used to get the blue box, too, but times have changed. We've been married for 8 1/2 years and together for 10 1/2 years. We've got two kids now, and they come first.

We get them some small things for Valentine's Day to make them feel special. Jacob especially likes coloring books, crayons and some candy (he is a kid).

I usually give Matthew a card and cook (yes, I did say "cook") him his favorite dinner. He gets me flowers (this year, due to snow, he gave them to me early; I got sunflowers, as I've been dreaming of sunnier weather) and my favorite chocolate (sometimes raw, but this year in was Endangered Species, which can easily be found at the local grocery store. The snow has become an obstacle, affecting the mail system around here).

In the end, I don't miss that blue box. I rarely wear the stuff anyway. I like to keep things simple :-)

NOTHING better than chocolate covered strawberries!!

My Mom always made my brother and I make homemade cards for every birthday and holiday -- there is something so personal about them! I still make little Christmas cards for my family every year =)

Thank you for your sweet comment on my post over at meals and moves! Valentines day I am going to a castle with my dad and his girlfriend if the weather is ok.......I'm single again and don't fancy another one alone this will be my 8th!

Goodness that fudge looks sooooo good! x x

2010-02-09T21:55:59.324-08:00

No surprise here - I love giving homemade gifts. Every year for Christmas, I do all homemade. It's way more fun for me and (I think) everyone else.

V-Day? Meh. I've never been into it. But if someone were to give me chocolate, I wouldn't say no!

2010-02-09T21:48:10.302-08:00

the 4 of you look like such a fun bunch to hang out with! aww ava is a cutie, sweet that skylar was interested in the baby, not all kids are! i have no plans for v-day and i'm kinda liking it that way!

2010-02-09T21:36:28.774-08:00

This is my first valentine's day without my classroom full of fourth graders. So of course in order to get through it I need to immerse myself in some raw vegan chocolate. :-)

We give gifts but a gift can be taking each other out to dinner or making a pie for the other one. We are spending a lot of time together lately that I feel like I don't "need" valentine's day as much as I have when we've been super stressed or busy. In that case it can help the relationship refocus.

As for friends I don't do much usually although I did send out a silly valentine card out to some people. I like cards.

2010-02-09T21:18:34.379-08:00

I just got back from a night away with my manfriend! was so excited to sneak away, we did it early- that and his family is having a dinner on the 14th- I'm whipping up Jessica's red velvet cake- you protein bars are on for friday though- my other chalkie ones are almost out (thank god!).

Whats the best thing to use coconut oil for?!
