Happy Valentine's Day & The Month in Review - January 2014

You may have noticed that I usually do the month in review posts at the very beginning of the month and here we are on the 14th.  What can I say?  Sometimes life gets in the way and plans go awry.  But, happy Valentine's Day and I hope you're celebrating with something sweet.

January can be a tough month.  The glitz of the holidays is over, it's cold and we have all those resolutions to contend with.  Around here there was some healthy cooking going on to make sure we have a healthy year.  And there were some sweet treats, too, to make sure we have a happy year.  So while we're digging into those boxes of Valentine's chocolates, let's take a quick look back.
