Love and Brownies

"Sure," you'll say. 
"Why not?" I would say.
"What do brownies have to do with love?" you'll say.
"Everything!" I would say.

There is chocolate for one thing, the baking part and love you put in counts as 10 things. Then the way you wrap it, also with love, counts as other 10 things. Voilà!! You have a total of 21 things, that is a lot in my opinion. So you see? Brownies and love do go well together.

 If maybe you still don't agree, perhaps you can do any of these things:

1. Hold hands
2. Watch a very romantic movie
3. Have a pic-nic in the living room, if it is warm where you are, have it at the park
4. Bake something (check)
5. Write a love letter
6. Cut out paper hearts- glitter optional (check)
7. Give a book of poems (Love poems)
8. Better yet write a love poem, or haiku, something
9. Buy or make- heart shape cookies, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches, etc...
10. Say, I LOVE YOU to as many people as you can. Not randomly, because you're going to get the "weird eye."

The recipe for the brownies shown, which is the only recipe  I've ever used, so maybe you shouldn't trust me, because I haven't tried others, but then again, these really are amazing brownies, that's what everyone says.

Oh, yeah! The recipe is from Green and Black's, but I don't put cherries in it. Very easy to make and so yummy.

I really hope you can find the time to be a little romantic (anytime of the year certainly), but I do love Valentine's day, because if you're not romantic on that day, when there is a reminder in every corner, then when will you be?

How do you spell love? asked Piglet
You don't spell it, you feel it, answered Pooh

Sending you lots of love,

P.S: I recently added some of my favorite things here. Perhaps you would like to join this wonderful project? I hope you do. Let me know if you do?

#11- Unconditional Love

This one wins by far with me. There is actually (in my mind) nothing better than this. The "no matter what" type of love is simply incredible. To feel it and to have someone feel the same for you is just…

This passage that I've always liked comes to mind. If you have never read it in its entirety do read it.

Here is a passage of 1 Corinthians 13:

4 Love is patient,v love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.w 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,x it is not easily angered,y it keeps no record of wrongs.z 6 Love does not delight in evila but rejoices with the truth.b 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.c

So with that I let you go, and wish you a very happy weekend.

#4 - Ceramic Hearts

I wish I've made these hearts. I do have dreams of kilns and pottery wheels (but that is another story).

These were made by my very creative sister, and since she and my mother have decided to dip their fingers in the Etsy waters recently, I'm very happy to be able to show these hearts here.

So if you are looking for a very sweet, handmade with lots of love gift for a friend or sweetheart then I would recommend you visit their shop!

Have a very lovely day!
