my valentine’s day

I know Valentine’s Day is over and we’re all probably suffering from a little chocolate hangover, but I had the nicest Valentine’s Day! Maybe because it was so laid back and not planned to the minute. We have a lot of fun just hanging out so I’m not sure why we ever feel like we need to plan something.

After work Joel and I stopped by our favorite market and picked up things for a fancy pizza and salad (we tried capers and loved them), a demi baguette and local roses. They make the house smell like a garden!

When we got home the most beautiful surprise from my valentine was waiting on the doorstep.

Joel completely surprised me and ordered one of Miniature Rhino and Kiki’s Baklava‘s Valentine Creations. I got the sweetest message in a bottle…

…and amazing baklava! Such good treats!

So delicious! I had to take a bite right away!

We made dinner, and by we I mean Joel made dinner and I kept sneaking over to nibble on the baklava or play ball with a demanding puppy. Joel makes the best pizza in the world, truth.

    Oh man, I haven’t had baklava since high school, it’s been too long. That meal looks absolutely delicious, I can’t say I’ve ever had heart-shaped pizza. :) It sounds like your Valentine’s Day was great. Yay for staying in and having laid-back chill sessions instead of planning fancy outings!

    PS: Every time I see pictures of Cors, I just can’t help thinking ‘Awww’ to myself. He’s so cute!
