As promised, we’re officially talking about Valentine’s Day this week!

Sooo, anyone getting really really excited for the Winter Olympics? If you can picture me waving my arm frantically over here, you get the picture.

To kick off January, I mentioned wanting to switch things up a bit around here this year. One of my primary objectives for 2014 is to take The Sweetest Occasion to the next level by not only sharing parties, recipes, projects and ideas that I hope will inspire you to celebrate more in your every …
I’m popping in rather late with today’s post – a little pretty and pink inspiration for your Wednesday afternoon.
