My week has primarily consisted of caring for our sweet little addition.  I planned weeks ago to take some time off to get us both adjusted to this new way of life and I am so glad that I did.  We have basked in these quiet days at home, and cherished many a nap on the sofa together.  She is precious.  I am exhausted.  All is well. 

I managed to contract a winter cold over the past few days, but I am not complaining.  I will take a cold over the flu any day of the week. 

This tea has been my go-to the past few days.  Spiked with a shot of cream and a bit of raw sugar, it is a strawberries-and-cream fantasy.  Pair it with a thick slice of Nutella-smothered toast and oh my gosh...is this real life?

Are you ready for Valentine's Day?  If you are preparing a dinner at home, be sure to check out this very festive spritzer and this adorable pizza. 

I would happily welcome nearly every goodie on this list.  That waffle maker is especially swoon-worthy. 

Cabernet lattes?  Um, how about YES. 

I hope you all have a very restful, cozy, chai-filled weekend! 

Sincerely, 

Pedantic Foodie
