It's February! You Know What That Means... // Valentine's Inspiration 2014

I love Valentine's Day. It's partly because I'm a girly girl, so as soon as I walk into a store and see the beautiful red and pink hued displays... I feel like a kiddo again! But I also just love the idea of another reason to shower your loved ones with pretty little presents. Some people think it's commercial (it is) and gives people the idea that it's ok to pay attention to your partner only on that date and in extravagant amounts. But I think it's sweet to celebrate the holiday AND show your partner & friends that you love them throughout the rest of the year too. 

Regardless of how you feel about the holiday, I think we can all agree that there are some very beautiful things to be found out and about this time of year, especially on Pinterest. So here is a lovely inspiration valentine's collage to get you ready for the celebration!

& stay tuned for some Valentine's giveaways!! :)

Can you even handle the cuteness?!? 

All images via my Valentine's Day Pinterest page, here. All collages made by me.

If I could I would have a Valentine's Day movie night, A Girls Craft Day, A Girl's Night, A Family cookie making day with my mom and sisters, breakfast in bed with KC and a fabulous getaway! - A girl can dream right? ;) 

But perhaps a few of these will happen yet! :) 

What are you working on this Valentine's Day?

What would you love to pull off??

XOXOX,

Valentine's Day 2012 Part I: Breakfast in Bed {Recipe #24}

Kyle and I love breakfast...

So I thought I would surprise him with breakfast in bed for Valentine's Day! 

I decided to do something out of the ordinary {for us}, French Toast.

....We both thought we didn't like French toast... but that is only because we didn't have this recipe before now!

In fact it was so good that I have decided that I will serve it at my bed and breakfast someday!

For those who are curious it has a raspberry fruit filling and is drizzled with honey rather than maple syrup!

I also made veggie and cheese scrambled eggs and chocolate milk for Kyle :) {just in case he didn't like the french toast, but he did!}

This is what the french toast is supposed to look like...

But Kyle does not like almonds so this is my piece.

I am pretty darn obsessed with this recipe...

I have already made it once more testing out blackberry filling.

Maybe I'll try cherry next?

How do you like to show your loved ones you care on Valentine's Day?

All for now,

Alexandra

Part II is coming soon! :)
