a valentine exchange: galentine's day 2013.

as you have probably gathered from this blog/instagram i am obsessed with valentine's day.  i have always loved it, ever since i was a little girl.  it isn't the romance and lovey dovey stuff that makes me love it {although i do love a special day to love on my hubs and get spoiled, haha}, it's the opportunity to show your family & friends how much you love them!  i love the colors, the treats, the cards, the flowers, and most of all the parties!  i look forward to throwing this galentine's party for my girlfriends all year long.  we've all be through so much together and i don't know what i would do without them.  last valentine's day i wrote about love and friendship for my friend catherine's 14 days of love series - i just re-read it and it pretty much sums up why i love valentine's day.  also, are those heart glasses not the best thing you've ever seen?!  i died when i found them they were so perfect.

but back to the party - this year was the best year yet!  thanks to my sweetie girl malorie i was able to pull everything together just in time for everyone to arrive.  i served zuppa toscana soup, alicia's crusty artisan bread, caesar salad, strawberry crush, mini chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting, and raspberry jello parfaits.  it was really yummy if i do say so myself.

and guess what!  today is the official galentine's day soooo...happy happy galentine's day!!  give some love to your bffs.

see my valentine exchange in 2012 here and 2011 here.

Thanks for the shout-out, Emma!! I'm so glad you participated last year and I love that post. And this party? AMAZING. I love this idea and I think a lot of the time, friendship doesn't get seen as a way to celebrate for Valentine's Day. So I'm glad you made it a point to do that :)

You are such a wonderful host, an amazing cook, and all around wonderful person. I hope to be more like you!

Your party looks like a blast! This was my first Valentine's Day being single and I spent it with a girl friend of mine and at one point we both looked at each other and said "this is the best valentine's day ever!" Saw your blog on "This Won't Hurt a Bit". Love it!
