Before now, I had no idea that Dr. Oetker made anything other than baking products and pudding mixes. I've used the glaze, and even the whipped cream stabilizer (Whip It!), but pizza? Who knew.

Here are some very cute ideas on "romance" Dr. Oetker shared with us!
How to have a romantic evening at home:
1. Don’t just heat up the kitchen—start a fire or light candles to set the mood
2. Find the perfect wine pairing for your Dr. Oetker Ristorante pizza
3. Turn off all unnecessary distractions, which means no TV or texting at the table
4. Break out the fine china and a tablecloth to create a fine dining atmosphere
5. Dress up just like you would for a fancy restaurant
6. Set the stage for romance with a soundtrack for the evening
7. Adjust lighting to help create a relaxing and romantic mood
8. Dust off your dancing shoes and make your living room a dance floor
9. End the night with a decadent Italian dessert, preferably one you can share
10. Let the night unfold and enjoy the special occasionabout 1 year ago

Ristorante is now available in 6 delicious flavors in the Northeastern US. The pizzas come with fresh, high-quality ingredients on a crispy thin crust. Prices vary around $4.99-$5.99. Ristorante provides Real Italian Restaurant taste without restaurant style prices. But enough talk of me, let's go back to Cooper and Emily to get the talk started!

There's a lot of chatter about how important family meal times are - we try to sit down as a family EVERY NIGHT. Lots of times it's a home-cooked meal, but sometimes frozen pizza is what it has to be. Like tonight - I'll get home at 7, and I have to be out at a meeting at 7:30. I already know that tonight's a frozen pizza night.

Valentine's day has been a huge holiday at my house between me and my husband. For one, with my birthday so close - everything usually just gets lumped together. Second, for many years we were both auditors and worked very long hours Jan-March. But guess what...this is the first year in 12 years that we are both free from public accounting...yahoo! I have high hopes and expectations for this year...

My favorite Valentine's Day: The first year that iPods came out, my husband got me one because he KNEW I would love it. The phone rang at 2:00 in the morning on the 14th because my sister had just had a baby - so he gave me the present then - he was so excited. As was I. Nine years ago. I still have that iPod, though I don't use it.

Here's an idea for those of you with pre-schoolers/younger elementary. I have to give my husband the credit...but on Valentine's Day last year - he played candyland with my daughter with real pieces of candy to grab up if you landed on one of the candy spots.

Big's school is doing a Conversation Heart Fundraiser for American Heart Association. They're buying packages for $.50 and gifting them to other people (teachers, mostly) with notes of what they love about their school. Thought this was a great idea. Especially because Heart Health was explained to them.

This year we made mailboxes for all three children, so I think we will all just make Valentine's for each other. It will be nice to get away from gifts and candy. We've had enough of that for Christmas and then 3 birthdays in January.
