I do so love seeing what kind of Valentine's Day ideas and treats bloggers come up with every February. Here’s a smattering of some of the sweets you can find. Maybe it’s because I am hungry, or maybe because these look so scrumptious, but I’m going to start out by spotlighting these “Heart-Shaped Cinnamon Rolls” that are absolutely genius in their construction (roll them up like a scroll instead of a roll to get the heart shape).

Today in the Bloggernacle: Lessons from this 'Mormon Moment'
What will you remember about “This Mormon Moment”? wonders this blogger. She explains “Maybe what it has changed is my view of myself. Regardless of whether or not I tend to lean more Mitt Romney or more Harry Reid with my politics, having prominent Mormons in both parties and having countless articles written about what I believe has caused a shift in my thinking. I’m freer now. I can stop worrying that everyone who hears me say, 'I’m a Mormon' is going to think that I’m a member of a cult or repressed or whatever."
Today in the Bloggernacle: New Year's Eve party and FHE ideas
f you are in charge of a New Year’s Eve Party, consider this brilliant idea for sharing “30 Minutes of Wisdom.” This blogger explains how it works: “This year we would like each of you to take ONE MINUTE to share some wisdom with the rest of us; something you wish everyone else in the family knew, a skill, talent, testimony, activity, etc. What could bless everyone else and help along their journey?

Today in the Bloggernacle: Never miss anything the LDS Church posts by using Google+
Jesse Stay, LDS author of “Google+ Marketing For Dummies,” reached out on Facebook with this fantastic tip: “Here's an idea for all of you to never miss anything the LDS Church posts. 1. Go to Google+ and circle all the Church Pages there in an ‘Official LDS’ circle. 2. Click on the circle in the options at the top of your newsfeed so you're only seeing the posts from the ‘Official LDS’ circle. 3. In the upper-right, there will be a slider. If you slide that all the way to the right, it will send you email notifications of every post the Church makes on Google+. 4. Now, +1, comment, and share for every post — on every post you do this, it improves authority for each post and improves our visibility on the web!” What a great idea. If you are using Google+ (or even if you are not), click in to set it up!
