Valentine’s Day party

Happy Valentine’s Day 2019

Good morning and happy Valentine’s Day dear friends!! Each year, Ava and I celebrate this special love filled day with a party where we dress up and enjoy some yummy treats, fruit, and music. We always pull out our prettiest plates and cups to make it feel extra special. This year, Ava wanted to wear her yellow princess dress styled after Belle from Beauty and the Beast. She wanted me to match in yellow so I pulled out this LC Lauren Conrad Maxi pleated dress from a few years ago. We listened and sang to some of her favorite Shinedown songs, by her request!, and chatted about what a lovely party it was. My little babe loves to celebrate. I will always be thankful for my forever Valentine and all the love and happiness she brings to my life. Thank you, Ava. I hope everyone enjoys this special day!

Good morning and happy February 1st! It is officially the month of love and what better way to kick it off than with a little Galentine’s Day Party. Just the “gals” here hence, Galentine’s lol. Ava and I spent the better part of a day celebrating and having our yearly party. We started with putting on our makeup and then getting dressed up. Ava picked out her own accessories and was very excited the whole time. The anticipation of it all! This has always been my favorite post to do throughout the entire year and one I always look forward to. Then we set the table together and lastly baked the cookies. She helped spread the icing and sprinkle on the sprinkles, all while enjoying eating some in the process, haha. Ava kept saying it was a tea party and honestly, we’ve been having little tea parties every day since then. Every meal happens at the dining table so why not make it pretty and fun?! After taking some photos, we dug in to all of the goodies and had some girl chats talking about the things we love. The heart ballon has a nice little story behind it. We were out the day before picking up the roses for the party, when a worker at the store just fell in love with Ava. He ended up cutting this ballon down from one of the displays and giving it to her, which was incredibly sweet! Thank you! This was one of the best days I’ve had and couldn't have spent it with a better gal than my little Ava. Cheers to all of the loved ones in your life! <3
