Greetings!
Did you know that in the 1800's physicians suggested that their patients eat chocolate to calm their longing for lost love? And now, in modern times, more than $1 billion is spent on chocolate for Valentine's Day in the United States alone. That's a lot of chocolate! You can check out some more Valentine's Day fun facts here.
In this week's newsletter, I'm going to share some Valentine-themed treats, gifts, and crafts you can share with your loved ones . . . or make for yourself!
