Valentine's DIY & Frozen Hot Chocolate

I bet that title caught your attention... ha-ha.. anything with chocolate catches mine, don't feel bad you are not alone! But first let me share this DIY Valentine's project that I tackled today. I got the idea from Emily, over at Anderson Crew. I knew the minute I saw them, I had to make them. BUT, I didn't want this to only be for the kids. I thought it would be a great way for the hubby and I to share our thoughts and sweet little somethings everyday. Life for us gets so busy at times, that we don't always get to say those little things. And believe it or not, those little things can sometimes be BIG things. So I'm super excited and can't wait to see what I get in my little mailbox everyday! ;) You have to give this a try!

Mail Boxes

I got the mailboxes from Target in the dollar section, then just simply bought a pack of paper letters and glued them on. I kept it simple and cheap. I found Valentine's notepads in the dollar section as well, so we can use those to write our notes.

Now let's get to the good stuff.. I first tried frozen hot chocolate in Vegas this past summer and well have been craving it ever since. It's dangerous, and by dangerous I mean you will crave it the next day and the day after that. So when I saw that Picky Palate had went to serendipity not long ago and re-created the frozen hot chocolate I went complete nutts. I knew I had to try it ASAP. I've listed the recipe below and the only thing I did differenly was adding the chocolate chips into the mix. I personally think it taste better, but that is coming from a chocolholic, so you be the judge. Either way you won't be disappointed, promise. Enjoy!

Happy Friday!
