I hope you all had a nice weekend. Ours was both busy and relaxing. More busy for Josh than me. He had to get up early Saturday morning to drop our two eldest off at the airport (they flew down South to visit their aunts at college for a few days) and then he went for a 10 mile run before spending the afternoon splitting logs at our church. Meanwhile I slept in on Saturday, worked out, and washed my hair! We did a good amount of taking it easy on Sunday, though, which was nice. The sun was out and even though it is chilly, we spent about half an hour outside just enjoying it.
Since my girls won't be back home till mid-week, I discovered last week when I was working on the menu how hard it is to cook for a smaller family when you're not used to it. Two adults and two kids who eat like birds...I was scratching my head trying to figure out what to make!

I was on Pinterest for a good amount of time on Friday getting things scheduled and looking at some of my food boards and one of the ones I was pinning two was my Valentine's Recipes board. This board has it all. Breakfast, snack, dinner, and dessert. So whether you're going to be eating in or out, you can get some delicious ideas there.
