Week in Review: Sharing the Love, Kindness, and Food!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!  Dewars is all ready to find his little Valentine.  Are you?

Whether you have a Valentine or not…. make this day about more than just romantic love.  Make sure to check out The Thing About Joan as she suggests a great and wonderful idea to go along with BlogHer’s Photos of the Year.  And while you’re at it, make sure to shoot over to Jaybird and read about International Random Acts of Kindness Week!

So, since it is Valentine’s…I’m going to do some self-love and some social media plugging.  First, if you haven’t already…please take a moment to read A Rose By Any Other Name as I open my heart and share a little more of myself with you all.

Also…if you haven’t gotten a chance I shamelessly urge you all to follow and like our social media outlets:

Bloglovin

Facebook

Twitter

Google +

Pinterest

And I promise to give you some love right back!! 🙂
