My husband and I got married just two days before Valentine’s Day.  The timing wasn’t exactly deliberate, but a convenient time for our schedules and the family we had traveling from out of town.  It’s made the whole week surrounding Valentine’s Day a fun celebration!

Knowing that our wedding was falling when others would typically be out celebrating with their own valentines, we added as many personal elements as we could.  We created a playlist of our guests’ love songs, used their lyrics as part of the decor, and honored their relationships’ longevity through an anniversary dance.

With another anniversary and Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I’m on the hunt for festive ways to celebrate.

This easy recipe for red velvet cookies starts with cake mix.  It’s an easy hack to make your baked goods come together in a snap.  They’re rolled in sugar to make them sparkle and topped with creamy white chocolate chips.  Another fun way to mix up your baking is to reserve your chocolate chips.  Don’t mix them in the batter but instead top your cookies with them mid-way through your baking.

Promoting love has always been part of our celebration as a couple.  Another of our favorite traditions is visiting the Napa Rose at the Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa.  With farm to table flavors, an incredible wine list, and upscale California atmosphere, it’s our favorite place to celebrate special occasions like anniversaries.
