Hope everyone had a wonderful, sappy, mushy, love-fest-of-a-Valentine's-Day! xoxo
Happy Valentine's Day! Our day started out with a homemade breakfast of bacon roses and flourless, banana pancakes {courtesy of my fave London blogger}. It was a delicious meal, and I was so happy to use our Chicago + London mugs for the very first time {thank you to our dear friends, Adam + Niki!}. Those blueberry, flourless pancakes were to.die.for. I didn't even notice it was only made out of bananas {can you believe that?!}! And thanks to Pinterest, I was able to satisfy my bacon-loving carnivore with bacon roses. Yes, I said it. BACON ROSES. So easy to make! One of the best parts of our new neighborhood is that Ross and I are more active. So after our meal, we decided to go for a Valentine's Day run through Kensington Gardens + Hyde Park {thankfully, since we would need that zen and peacefulness when dealing with the phone people later in the afternoon...}. I've been in just one part of the gardens, but it is more beautiful and amazingly large than I ever imagined... Ross on a cute, little street leading up to the gardens. When was the last time you saw all that green? Of course, I had to go knocking on the Kensington Palace doors to see if Prince William and Kate received our wedding save the date {#WillandKateSaveOurDate}. I really hope they can make it. And no. I'm not kidding, I seriously sent them a save the date {along with Justin Timberlake, Luke Bryan, Brie + Nikki Bella, and Ian Somerhalder... call me crazy, but if one of them shows up, who will be the one laughing?}. Our day ended with us trying out another restaurant for our ABC Meal challenge {more about that in another post!}. It's moments like this {minus the stint at the phone company...how hard is it to get a working phone in London?!} that make my tantrums, sadness, and difficult transition during the week worth it. The only thing that could have made this weekend slightly better was if I could have cloned myself, flown my twin to Cleveland, and spent time with my Flyer fam {University of Dayton} at our annual girls' weekend.
Hope everyone had a wonderful, sappy, mushy, love-fest-of-a-Valentine's-Day! xoxo
