Bee-smooched
With less than a week to go, Valentine’s Day is getting it’s fair share of attention and while we’re not ones to go all out in celebrating this holiday (read last year’s post here), we admire those who do. That’s why we’ve been busy as bees gathering some bee-fitting things that might make your day more bee-dazzling… From writing your love a letter,
Bee-prose
to keeping your lips kissably soft…
Bee-glossed
and treating yourself to a long bath…
Bee-showered
before a candlelit dinner…
Bee-lit
bee-decked in jewels!
Bee-jeweled
“And to the flower, a bee is a messenger of love…” ~Khalil Gibran
How will you be celebrating with your bee-loved?

Love in Bloom - Jack Benny
We have a confession to make… We’re not really into Valentine’s Day. “That’s strange,” you may ask yourself, “aren’t these girls into flowers?” Well, we are, but that still doesn’t change the fact that we think Hallmark seems to have kidnapped February 14th and demanded that we express our love as a ransom. After all, if you’re with the right person, every day should be Valentine’s Day!

That being said, with all the lovely Valentine’s posts out there in blog land, we broke down and ordered these delicious smores’ for our boys.

We’d like to believe that every day is Valentine’s Day when you’re in love but who wouldn’t want to treat themselves to chocolates around this time of year?
Knipschildt Chocolatier
We discovered Knipschildt Chocolatier years ago while driving to and from work – Fritz’s store was just around the corner from our offices and we were always curious as to what kind of delicious confections we could find there. After reading that Gourmet magazine rated Knipschildt one of the best chocolates in the world, we knew we had taste them… Needless to say, Fritz’s chocolates are exquisite – from the look, the taste, the varieties and the packaging, his dedication to creating a memorable and delightful experience is unsurpassed.
Knipschildt Chocolatier in Gourmet Magazine
So this Valentine’s, we thought we would share our love for chocolate (and flowers!) with a special gourmet giveaway – this beautiful handmade box of truly decadent Rose Truffles (rich dark chocolate truffles with a rose water infused dark chocolate ganache center topped with an edible rose petal) from Knipschildt.
Knipschildt Chocolatier - Rose Truffles
