Tradition (cont.)

And just like that - Another Valentine's Day has come and went... And I'm not so sure about you, but nothing to me says romance like some house projects!

The first DIY project in our new home is complete and I am smitten. A countertop for our laundry room. 

Easiest project EVER, inspired by my favorite blog www.younghouselove.com


Next, our living room has an accent wall... More baby blue? Be still my beating heart.


Now, onto the actually romantic stuff. Thanks to a friends insane drawing skills I presented my husband with this beauty:


Thank  you, Joel Wathen! I also gave him the gift of permission to purchase new golf irons. He's a happy man.

Brian gifted me with sushi knife and new rolling mat, and beautiful tiger lilies delivered to our door step.

We devoured Parmesan crusted steak, shrimp, red skinned garlic mashed potatoes and corn. Nomnomnom.


Garlic butter mashed red potatoes:

4 large red skinned potatoes, cubed - with skin
2 tsp minced garlic
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup almond milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Bring potoes to a boil until soft, drain and place into original pot

Add minced garlic and butter and stir

Add milk, salt and pepper and using a hand mixer - blend to desired consistency

Enjoy! 

It was a great first Valentine's day indeed.
