Chocolate Enchantments

So at the end of this month is my Hubby-man and I's anniversary. 4 years we have been married, which may not seem like much, but it means the world to us, since it is somewhat a rare sight to see a young couple still happily married. Sadly we can't do much this year because of budget reasons, (we are paying off our car!!!!! YAY!!!!) so we had to size down.

But watching the movie  Frozen and Dark Chocolate cheesecake can't fix! Sadly there is no recipe for this cheesecake because I played it by ear. It started out as normal cheesecake recipe, then I added melted chocolate, then dark chocolate. Then added a ganache and turned out to be this tasty beauty!



Go ahead stare at its tastiness. I would have eaten half of it, but sadly I can't....stupid diet thingy about eating in moderation and junk like that. Whoever said you can't buy happiness didn't have the grocery list of ingredients and extra chocolate to make this!

This relates back to my last post about whimsical days. Making chocolatey desserts and watching movie with the kids cuddling in Hubby's arms.  Then running running outside in the bright sun shine!

Anyways, until another day

Blessings and tootles!

Being Whimsical

This is one of those days I blog about something random. That random thing is the word "whimsical". I just like the word. Its sweet, charming, and makes me think of light airy thoughts, like warm cup of chai tea, or walking in the park holding balloons, or make barefoot on the beach and humming a sweet tune. I don't know, it just makes me feel light hearted and happy.

This month has been pretty busy, full of bittersweet things. My parents will be selling their house soon, my brother left for the Marines, and my daughter will be turning 3 this year. Time flies so fast, I feel like I should still be that college girl, sitting in the hall on the floor reading before class starts. Now, I am mother of two, wanting her children to stop growing so fast and missing the walks I had with my brother on our parents road. *sigh*

The word whimsical just made the days happier. Thinking whimsical thoughts of floating balloons, fresh flowers in mason jars, babies laughing and children playing outside, laughing with good friends as we start new adventures.

This was just my thoughts at the moments. You have a whimsical day!
