We never really celebrate Valentine’s day because I never believed in just one day for love (and also not to give in to the Hallmark holiday) but sometimes it is just impossible to not get sucked in to all that is happening around you. Especially with V around and a whole Valentine’s day week theme at his school and all that. And it just suddenly seems cute when you are doing all this for a 2 year old. Well, lets just say the husband also benefits from this vibe around the house.
I made this chocolate chip pancakes with almonds for breakfast one day. I made little heart shaped chapatis for dinner the next day and so on. I am even thinking of making some red velvet cupcakes over the weekend! 
This is so not me at all. But it will be a lie if I say that I am not enjoying this.
