Valentines with Megs: Valentine Cookies!

Hey guys! So today I will be continuing my mini series #ValentineswithMegs with a fun treat for parties or whatever you wish! These are sugar cookies that are amazing! I got the recipe off allrecipes.com and they are so yummy!

So what you will need is:
2 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup of softened butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

The directions for the cookies are:

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients. Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks

So after your cookies are all done now you get to decorate them! I personally like to cut my cookies into shapes and since it is Valentine's Day I would cut them into hearts. So once your cookies are cooked and cut comes my favorite part. Decorating!

With the decorating you can pick whatever icing and candy you want to make the cookies pretty and unique! Once you are all finished you can eat them and enjoy them and before you eat them all send me a pic using #ValentineswithMegs so I can see!

I hope you enjoyed this post and that you enjoy your cookies! Make sure you like this post and check me out on social media!

Valentines with Megs: Date Ideas!

Hey guys so I today I am continuing with my mini series ValentineswithMegs with some date places/ideas. I am super excited for this post and I hope you enjoy it!

1.  Your favorite restaurant!- Talk it through with your special someone and go to your favorite place to eat.

2. Go to where you two became a thing!- Whether it is in front of your school or at a park go and relive the moment! Make sure you take some pictures too!

3. Go to special place for a picnic!- Romance and quality time! That is what the day is aabout after all.

4. Memory Walk!- I have seen this idea on Twitter so many times! You and your special someone think of some of the places you have had your biggest moments (where you met, first date, first kiss, etc..) and take a picture at every place. This is super special and a small walk down memory lane.

5. Couple Photoshoot!- If you have as many photographers in your area as I do, one of them is bound to be offering couple shoot before or on Valentine's Day!  Some of the shoots I have seen on Instagram and Twitter have been absolutely adorable so take advantage!

Remember Valentine's Day is for you two to enjoy each other. Don't try to please everyone! Just have fun and be the people the other fell for.

New Mini Series!

So since it is February and Valentine's Day are just around the corner I thought I would do another mini-series called #valentineswithMegs ! To start off the series I thought I would start off with my top 5 Valentine's Day gifts!

1. Chocolate!- Chocolate is a good go to if you are just trading with friends or if you haven't been with your special someone for a long time.

2. Stuffed animals!- cute little bears and puppies are definitely a cute gift for your friend or special someone.

3. Make a playlist!- Maybe you and that best friend or special someone have a list of favorite songs that have special meaning to you. Put them in a playlist that can be played anywhere.

4. Frame a picture!- Some of my favorite presents are pictures that have been framed and been given to me. So pick your favorite picture of you two and pick a nice frame.

5. Plan a special date!- favorite restaurants or favorite places to go are perfect for Valentine's Day. A special time for you two is a great gift.

A short list but you can always be creative and if you and your valentine have something special you like to do that's always another option. The day is about being with that person you love or having fun with friends.

If you have other gift ideas that I didn't think of or you are excited for this mini series and there is something you wanna know about feel free to tweet me using the #valentineswithMegs

I hope this post helped you a little bit and you enjoyed it! I will be back soon!
