Before we head off into the weekend, here's my five for this week ~
1. Groundhog Day
Tomorrow will be the day we'll know if we're in for another six weeks of winter or if spring will come early. If the groundhog sees his shadow, the prediction is we're in for six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't see his shadow, spring is just around the corner.
Here's some interesting information I found about Groundhog Day from the NationalDayCalendar.com:
"The tradition of predicting the length of the remaining winter is intertwined with the Christian holiday, Candlemas. Clergy would bless candles symbolizing the ‘light of the world’ to give to their congregations. Another tradition associated with this day is eating crepes. Germans practiced the art of predicting the winter with a hedgehog until their arrival in the United States when they settled in the hills of Pennsylvania, and the groundhog became the official predictor."
2. Heart Shaped Pasta at Costco
Do you like to enjoy your Valentine's dinner at home? Here's an idea of what you can serve - Italian Four Cheese Heart Shaped Pasta from Costco! Be on the lookout for this Nouvo Pasta filled with ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan and aged Asiago to make your Valentine's dinner special. It comes in two 20-ounce packages for a total of $10. Has anyone seen it in their Costco?
3. Tea Time Magazine
My friend Carol gave me a subscription to Tea Time magazine for Christmas and my first edition came in the mail this week. Oh.My.Gosh -- it's fabulous! Full of beautiful pictures and mouth-watering recipes, this magazine could quickly become one of my favorites! Just leafing through it made me dream of having a tea party. Click HERE if you want to have a magazine to enjoy while you are sipping your morning brew.
4. Journals from Anthropologie
Look at these adorable journals from Anthropologie! What a wonderful Valentine's gift these would make. The set is $16. They could easily be separated to make three separate gifts for friends. Or you could keep them all for yourself and be ready to journal your little heart out. They would really dress up your desk!
5. My kind of exercise....
Have a wonderful weekend! We are looking forward to going to a birthday party tomorrow night for a friend I used to work with and then I fly out bright and early Sunday morning for a work trip. I'm going to try to pack in as much fun as I can before flying off for a long week of work.

ReplyDeleteThat last meme is totally me! Ha! And I forgot tomorrow is Groundhog Day! I might have to watch the Bill Murray movie now! Have a great weekend Penny!
ReplyDeleteThe pasta is a super cute idea for couples staying home!
ReplyDeleteThe exercise meme made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteMy niece would love that heart shaped pasta. She gets really excited any time I cut her sandwich into shapes!
Hahahaah! #5! YES! That heart shaped pasta is so cute. And I agree, those journals would make a great Valentine's gift!
ReplyDeleteOh, drat, we aren't Costco members but that pasta is adorable. Bet I could order it online, maybe through Amazon. Pinned your adorable graphic about exercise. That Tea Time magazine looks delicious, good enough to eat. Saw a magazine entitled Hope by the Book on another gal's blog. It sounds terrific, too. I remember how excited I used to get when my monthly copy of Seventeen magazine would come. Maybe I should treat myself to Tea Time or Hope by the Book.
ReplyDeleteThose are the prettiest notebooks from Anthropologie. One of my favorite stores that place. :) Hope your week has been great Penny.
