Now that I have my shopping list ready, off to the store I go to grab the ingredients for our chocolate trifles, a couple of American Greetings Valentine’s Day cards.
I got a nice romantic card for Katie and a funny card for a friend as well.
Do you need help with what to write on Valentine’s Day cards?
I know I need all the help I can get. 🙂
For great tips on how you can craft the perfect Valentine’s Day note, check this out! Don’t forget to pick up stickers, tissue paper, and gift wrap, too!
I like to use the stickers kind of like the old wax seal stamps on the back of the card envelope, just place a sticker on the fold before gifting your card!
It’s time to get a little personal and lovey-dovey.

Valentine’s Day Love
Valentine’s Day marks our 1/2 year anniversary. We celebrate our half-year anniversary because it falls on February 14th, so why not? It works out perfectly!
What sealed the deal?
Well, I’ll tell you one thing. It wasn’t the night I met her when she invited me to some sketchy back-alley bar.
She said, “park your car on such-n-such street, walk down the alley and you’ll see the door, just meet me inside.” Riiight, just walk down the back alley in the sketchy part of town to some hole in the wall bar!
Nope, nope, nope, not gonna happen. Sorry babe.
I didn’t go to the bar…but we did keep in touch and thus began our relationship. I kinda knew from the get-go that she was perfect for me.
This part of our story is more personal, and a story very few of you have heard. A few months after we began dating I had an unexpected medical anomaly and ended up in the neuroscience ICU for about a week.
Katie stayed by my side through all of the uncertainty, and she got to know my family real quick as they filtered in and out of my room — ha! Sorry hon!
Anyway, there we sat in the ER learning I had a mysterious, massive brain bleed. Death was knocking and the doctors seemed clueless, only surprised I was still walking and talking.
It was then that I gave her the out. We hadn’t been together long. I told Katie she could leave. She didn’t need to stay and watch me die.
She didn’t go. She stayed day and night, sleeping on the uncomfortable bedside chair; except for one night when the mean night nurse made her leave.
She even walked with me as I was wheeled to surgery. After days of tests and finally surgery, I pulled through.
Katie stood by my side and helped me down the long road of recovery, one stutter at a time.
My stutter is gone, but she’s still here, and still the one. So, yeah, that kinda sealed the deal.
As The Beatles would say… Love Is All You Need!
Now enough about us though, let’s make your Valentine’s Day awesome with an easy and delicious chocolate lovers trifle recipe!
Chocolate Lovers Trifles
Makes 2 Mason Jar Trifles
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 cups Chocolate brownies, chopped
- 2 cups Chocolate pudding
- 1½ to 2 Chocolate candy bars, coarsely chopped
- Can/tub of whipped topping
To simplify this recipe, you can use pre-baked brownies from the bakery section or even the boxed treats section of your grocer. You can also find pre-made pudding, or use chocolate pudding cups.
This is a fun recipe. Grab a couple of mason jars and the ingredients.
Oh, and use the heart pattern American Greetings Valentine’s Day tissue paper to wrap around the mason jars too. A little tape to help hold the tissue paper in place will do.
Get your mason jars out, gather your ingredients and let’s begin!
Your first layer will be chopped up brownie chunks.
Next, add a nice layer of pudding.
Now you can add a little whipped topping and chunks of a chocolate candy bar.
Repeat the layers until you reach the top of your mason jars. Top with whipped topping and candy bar flakes!
Now that you have an easy, fun, and delicious trifle to share with your love, it’s time to plaster your house with Valentine’s Day stuff!
