little heart pies
I found these little heart pies on sticks the other day. Does putting paper sticks in the oven scare anyone else? The guy was out of town this week, and I didn’t really feel like catching on fire while he was gone, so I decided to go stick-less with my version.
I followed the basic idea of the link. Pie crust cut into hearts. I used the jam filling from when I made these. I really think good pie dough baked with anything tastes like heaven. Next time, I think I will try rolling out the pie dough even thinner, and trying to use more filling. Maybe even an apple or pecan pie filling… I love that these are portable little pies. Its like I can take them everywhere with me.
conversation heart mini pillow
Those little conversation hearts are always one of my favorite parts of Valentine’s season. I think I still have boxes of them hoarded from last year…
I sewed up this little plush rendition for my Valentine. Hope he gets the subliminal message.

bakery adventure
There is a bakery near our apartment. It probably takes less than 5 minutes to drive there, but on Sunday, we decided to walk.
We drive to most places, so we are really not great judges on how long it takes to walk somewhere. But the guy guessed it almost exactly right! It took us a little over 15 minutes to walk there, and it really didn’t even seem that long since we talked the whole time. It was a wonderful, relaxed morning, and it was great to get some fresh air, exercise, and of course, the delicious cinnamon roll.
Something about bakeries makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I want to live in one someday.
is the night circus coming?
Have you ever read The Night Circus? I found these images the other day, and they instantly brought to mind the magical circus that comes to life in the dark.

And coming soon, the lion’s bff.
its only 3pm
The guy and I have been so productive today, and its only the afternoon. We went to the gym, made a nice breakfast, and have done so much wedding organizing! I just ordered a dress to try (ahhhh!), and ordered a bunch of paper for our save the dates.
Temporary tattoos for weddings? Awesome? I am going with yes. (this one found here)
apple time
Ya know how apple pie is really delicious? I could probably eat apple pie every day. But sometimes, you have no apple pie.
For a night snack when we have no apple pie, we cut apples into chunks, and add in some cinnamon and sugar. Basically apple pie filling. So simple and so good.
standing up
My job involves sitting at a desk all day. Exciting, right!?
One of my co-workers and I decided to try using a standing desk instead, which is really just a tall table that we put our computers on. I feel like it is pretty well known now that sitting all day isn’t all that good for your body. We have been using our standing desk for a couple weeks, and I can say that my back feels soo much better. My feet hurt a bit sometimes depending on my shoes, but I feel 100 times better at the end of the day.
Our next idea is to get a treadmill desk!
Have you ever tried a standing desk? What did you think?
