Valentine’s Day Decor

I shared our Be Mine door hanger earlier in the week and, as promised, I’m back with the little touches I add inside for the month of February.

This year in the foyer I have a vase of hydrangeas (from the Teacher Appreciation Week luncheon), small bowl of conversation hearts and two canvases painted by Mother from prior years. Simple and sweet.

In the kitchen I hung the white heart garland on the mirror and put out the big white heart pillow. Both were from Target last year.

I *finally* found cinnamon jelly hearts on the fourth try. Apparently the rest of the world loves them as much as I do. Favorite candy ever! (Don’t make the mistake of buying the cherry jelly hearts…) The “enchanted” rose was from the Disney Social Media Moms conference a couple of years ago. Flowers in pinks, purples and reds have made these dreary winter days much more cheerful.

Last year I started updating the frame in my kitchen with a different seasonal photo from years past each month. I miss these babies and the days of matching holiday outfits! Also. RIP Peanut Man… a strange and awkward marketing moment for sure. You will live on in bronze at our home. :-)

The last little thing in the kitchen are dish towels. An easy, inexpensive way to add holiday cheer.

In the den I have a pretty pink candle, stack of season magazines, more candy and a smaller vase of pink flowers.

That’s all I’ll do for Valentine’s day decor. I save my energy for Halloween and Christmas, but do bring out a few things for Valentine’s, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter and July 4th.

I’m really excited about Honey’s gift this year. We will be celebrating in Birmingham on the way to Fairhope and New Orleans!

We were back… Read More

Cotillion

Three years after John started, I was so excited to send Whit to his first cotillion! He finished up his month of classes last week and really enjoyed it. The program is four weeks and each week’s theme focuses on a different aspect of manners, respect, and responsibility.   We consistently work on these qualities at… Read More

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week at the elementary school and tomorrow kids are invited to bring in a book from their teacher’s wish list to donate to the classroom library.

Be Mine {Valentine’s Door Hanger}

We finally made it to February and I promptly put out my favorite Bronwyn Hanahan Be Mine door hanger!  I particularly love it because of the cheerful pinks and reds in what is usually a dreary month in Atlanta. We’ve been getting quotes to have some very non-glamorous work done around here this year – fixing rotted… Read More

Sleepy Hollow in Disney’s Magic Kingdom

If you’ve followed our Disney escapades since the beginning, you’ll know that one of my favorite Disney foods anywhere is the nutella and fruit waffle sandwich at Sleepy Hollow. This quick serve restaurant is located in Magic Kingdom where Liberty Square meets Main Street near the Hall of Presidents and Christmas Shop. The sweet waffle… Read More
