Chocolate. I promise.
Cross my heart.
I am NOT deliberately trying to derail your New Year’s resolutions.
Honest!
It’s just that I think you should know …
There are chocolate holidays on the horizon.
Sure, there’s Valentine’s Day.

And Mother’s Day follows shortly thereafter.
But sometimes, a woman needs more excuses to succumb to her urges—no, let’s call them “instincts.”
Your intuition knows when you need a nibble.
And quite frankly, a couple of heart-shaped-box holidays are not enough.

If you have any deep, dark secrets about how to best commemorate any of these delicious days, do tell.
Wow, I did not know this fact about February and the rest of the year! So many reasons to indulge because it is patriotic, correct? Hehe some of these photos are making me wish I had some chocolate in the house!
Wow! Well, I’m thinking that since Feb. 5 is close, we’re going to have fondue to celebrate!
Well, we all know that girls NEED chocolate! 😀
And, furthermore, it’s good for you . . . so I plan to enjoy as much as I can and celebrate chocolate holidays!
Cheers!

I had dark chocolate yesterday even though I didn’t know about the holiday. There is always chocolate in my house one I will always have a reason to indulge.
Chocolate is not a sweet . . .it’s a MEDICINE!! I indulge my cravings with my niece’s hand crafted Oregon chocolates: https://mkt.com/Chocolate-Fandango. THE BEST EVER!! Thanks for sharing all these “days” . . .. I had NO idea!!!
