Valentine's Day Dinner

I love Valentine's Day...it's a great day to create a special memory for the family.

Every year I make a special dinner.
I make a heart shaped meatloaf, 'ice it' with mashed potatoes and decorate it with ketchup.
I serve the kids milk in wine glasses...use the 'good' dishes with a fancy red tablecloth sprinkled with Hershey's kisses....and light candles. For the final touch, I put a little Valentine gift on everyone's chair.

Enjoy!

It's a Super Bowl party!

My husband was born and raised in Pitttsburgh....so needless to say he is a huge STEELERS fan. So the Super Bowl is a big day in our house this year.

I had a great time getting the decorations together...
I just loved Nancy's Valentine Garland idea....so I changed it a bit and made a Steelers garland. For the table, I made a football field table cloth using ribbon and some iron-on number patches. I found black cloth cocktail napkins in the clearance section and embroidered some players names and numbers (you can also use fabric paint), and I embroidered some towels to hang in the bathroom.
GO STEELERS!
