Lover's Holiday Desserts with Mrs. Freshley's

**Thank you to Mrs. Freshley's for sponsoring today's FUN post!  Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine's Day is a day to spend showing your "Sweet" just how much you love and appreciate them!  If you are not with anyone you may see as your "Sweet", you might see this holiday as pointless.  I am here to share a few treats with you, so you'll feel great whether you have a "Sweet" or not!  Mrs. Freshley's knows just how to fill you belly and warm your heart this Valentine's Day!

Making these treats was a lot of fun.  I had no problem assembling them and my husband and children had no problem eating them.  The neighbor kids must have known I was putting together some goodies because they came running too.

My favorite to make was Valentine's Dreamies.  These take a tiny bit of prep work, but so worth it!

Valentine's Dreamies

Ingredients Needed:

• 8 strawberries, hulled and halved
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 4 Mrs. Freshley's Dreamies

Combine cut strawberries, sugar and vanilla in medium bowl.  Set in refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the juices to come out of strawberries and make a delicious sauce!  Slice Mrs. Freshley's Dreamies diagonally and place them in a heart shape.  Top the Dreamies with strawberries and sauce.  If you desire, drizzle with chocolate syrup to add a little something extra special!

Conversation Cremes

Ingredients Needed:

Mrs. Freshley's Fudge or Oatmeal Cremes

Heart and letter stencils

Powdered sugar

Sifter

Place Stencil on top of a Mrs. Freshley's Oatmeal or Fudge creme.  Sift some powdered sugar over the stencil and Creme.  Remove the stencil, revealing the beautiful design! 

Chocolate Lovers Kabobs

Ingredients Needed:

• 8 Mrs. Freshley's Chocolate Bells, halved.
• 1 Package of strawberries, hulled
• 1 Package of marshmallows
• 1 Package wooden skewers
• Melting Chocolate (I used Almond Bark)

Dip strawberries in chocolate.  Place one halved Mrs. Freshley's Chocolate Bells on a wooden skewer.  Next place one strawberry, followed by one marshmallow.  Repeat steps until skewers are full.  Prepare melting chocolate according to package and drizzle over kabobs.   

These treats are so sweet and perfect for Valentine's Day!  They're so easy to assemble and so fun to eat.  Whip these up and share with your "Sweet" on this Holiday of Love.

A Great Valentine's Day Gift! -- Datevitation Coupon Book Review

Disclosure:  I received one or more products in this post in exchange of an honest review.  All opinions are my own.

This Valentine's Day I will be out of town.  I'm taking the chance to spend a long weekend with some girlfriends and leaving the family behind.  Every Momma needs a break, right?  Anyway, since I am going to be out of town, I am surprising the Littles in my life with a Valentine's Day basket!  A big portion of this basket will be a coupon booklet from Datevitation!

I am in love with this service!  Datevitation is a fun site that you can build a coupon book for anyone in your life.  Pick activities you'd like to do or see done and get them bound in a little book for a little fun!

A few still shots for you from what love coupon book I chose for Allyson and Cooper:

Isn't this the cutest cover for our book?  Happy Valentine's Day!  I know Ally will love it for sure.  With me being gone, I want to make this holiday a happy one, so I chose an extra sweet cover!

I was sure to put both children on the coupon book so Ally knows she has to share with her little brother!  I think this is a perfect addition to this little book!

Just to show a little example of the type of coupons I chose to put in the book, I am offering a one-time only coupon for help with cleaning of their bedrooms!  I know for sure Allyson will jump right on this.  She isn't a fan of cleaning her room unless I'm in there organizing things.  Then of course she puts her toys where she wants, which usually ends up being right in the middle of the room!

Check it out!!  ===> Books normally start at just $25 so it makes for a thoughtful yet economical gift.  But as a special treat for my followers, you can use the code  ‘SWEETCHEEKS’  for $10 off your purchase plus free shipping (total value of $13.50)  That means you can get your loved one a one-of-a-kind gift for Valentines Day starting at just $15!

While I chose to do a book geared toward my children, you can make one for your Spouse, Mother and even a friendly neighbor!  Check out Datevitation's options and of course look them up on social media!  Before you run away, check out the cutest video and use for Datevitation!

Imagine the best with Imagine Diamonds this Valentine's Day

Today's discussion is brought to you by Imagine Diamonds.  Go forth and buy the beautiful diamonds you deserve!

Every year around Valentine's Day I know at least one couple that gets engaged on this Day of Love!  This year I am letting everyone know about a great company that can make a beautiful diamond for you.  A beautiful and bigger diamond, for less!

How to get her the perfect diamond without breaking the bank? New technology is now allowing for real diamonds for half the cost without forgoing on the 4 Cs i.e. (color, clarity, carat and cut).

• The carat always seems to be the first thing someone wants to know about a ring.  How big is it?  How much does it weigh?  With Imagine Diamonds, they'll give you the size you want and the clarity!
• There are quite a few steps when talking about clarity.  Imagine Diamonds carry only 2 out of the 5 levels for diamond clarity.  These two are Slightly Included and Very Slightly Included.  This means there are imperfections in the stone, but are very hard to see to the naked eye. 
• While there are a wide variety of color options for your diamonds, Imagine Diamonds only carries the best!  You will find only Colorless and Near Colorless here, meaning you should not see any traces of yellow in the stone. 
• The last "C" brings us to cut.  The better the cut, the more beautiful the diamond will be. With the proper cut, the diamond's brilliance and sparkle will draw you in!  

All of Imagine Diamonds’ diamonds are natural and conflict-free, and now, through diamond enhancement, the company is able to sell a much larger diamond (up to twice the size!) of the same color and clarity for the same price as a smaller, non-enhanced diamond.

When you're deciding where to get your Love's diamond this year, look no further.  Whether it's an engagement ring or you're looking for a loose stone, Imagine Diamonds has you covered. Valentine's Day is a special day, but I have no doubt that Imagine Diamonds will make that special day even better!
