Our 7 year anniversary happened to be on a Monday this year …bummer!! I wore my wedding dress first thing in the morning and had a tea party with “wedding doll” my Bella.

Bella was so excited! What a fun morning !

I wear my wedding dress every anniversary! #1 to feel like a princess AGAIN and #2 to make sure it fits! Ha! I don’t see the point in preserving the dress in a box!

I love to get my wedding dress out and walk around the house!
Monday, I drank coffee and even threw a load of laundry in the washing machine!

Kevin had an evening work meeting, so instead of a special dinner, I created a special dessert we could enjoy at home!

Wow! Amazing!

Death By Chocolate Peanut Butter Lava Cake

Ingredients:Cake

1 box Betty Crocker dark chocolate cake
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
1/4 cup chia seeds

Don't forget the chia seeds!! Tasteless and packed with vitamins and antioxidants, they are the key ingredient for an unhealthy dessert splurge! That's how I justify it!

Pour lava mixture in holes until full.

I used a teaspoon! I wanted to really fill the holes. You could just spread mixture like icing on top of holes, too!
