Katie and I each shared our picks for Valentine’s Day last year and it was an absolute blast seeing what we each picked. See my gifts for him post and Katie’s gifts for her post to check them out. We had so much fun perusing through Etsy that we decided to do it all over again for 2016! I really love seeing how our tastes change over the course of a year.

Remember a few weeks back when I visited Longwood Gardens? I snapped this gorgeous photo of hot pinkish purple-y cyclamen in the Conservatory and I’ve been waiting to share it! I love the white/silver succulents they paired them with, too. It really makes them pop!

I’m a winner! No, not of the Powerball (though that would surely be nice), but of a gift card to Benique.com. La Vie en May had lots of great giveaways going on during the Christmas season, and one was a gift certificate to Benique. I hadn’t heard of them before, but after checking out their products I was in love! When I found out I won $10 towards my purchase, I jumped right on their site and picked out my favorite earrings.

Whether you’re a Panthers or a Broncos fan (or neither!), chances are you’ll be hanging out with friends this Sunday for Super Bowl 50! Bring or serve these awesome Super Bowl Sunday snacks and you’ll be the one scoring a touchdown!

It’s Wordless Wednesday, and also Woman Crush Wednesday, so why not do both?! Here’s a pic of Mabel, stealing the new stool I bought for my art table! My back hurts when I’d use my old one so I finally got around to getting a comfier one. I even bought a nice pillow this time. Mabel approves, and I haven’t had a chance to sit in it yet as it’s her new favorite spot!

Maybe it’s the several feet of snow keeping us inside the house, or maybe it’s just that time of year- but the Husband and I have mega wanderlust right now! We really want to plan a trip soon, though the where and when (and how!) are fuzzy. All this travel talk made me want to look up some great quotes on traveling. I love this one from Susan Sontag.
