Happy National Hot Chocolate Day!
This double chocolate Red Velvet Hot Cocoa is perfect for upcoming Valentine’s Day!
Traditionally red velvet has buttermilk and vinegar in the ingredients however, I decided to skip those in favor of two types of chocolate along with a light and fluffy cream cheese whipped cream on top. 
 It is rich and decadent and when topped with the homemade cream cheese whipped cream, 
this recipe will surely delight your chocolate loving Valentine!

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
