This month has been hell. I mean, seriously. We’re dealing with a couple of BIG things plus a bunch of small ones piled on all at once. Isn’t that how it always happens though? I’m so ready to wave goodbye to February. So long, crappy month! Hopefully I can share more soon. You know, when…
Last weekend I had a few friends over for some much needed girl-time. They’re all amazing women and most either have stressful jobs or stressful kids. Just kidding! (Not really.) So I wanted them to be able to relax and just enjoy being together. We even used the fancy china. You know, after I dug…
What a fabulous idea! Your pictures are so fun. Sounds like a great time!
Carolyn
Tracy, I love that idea! But they have to do all the work. Ha! Jk!
How is it that our mothers always made it look so easy!?! I will NEVER be as good as my mother! Maybe the next party should be for them!
Adorable! Such a lovely group of ladies, too.
Pops, He came with the frame. :)
Who is the cute kid in the picture on the marble top table?
Thanks Kacie!

Andrea, I love the idea of an annual party!
Love this! Love your take on Valentine’s Day decor, what an awesome party. My friend throws one of these every year and they are so much fun!
B-Rice, Think we’ll ever be able to keep up with our moms? :)
Love the pictures!!! I had so much fun and it was just what I needed last weekend. Notice that there are no pictures of the actual favorite things – this is obviously because we were having way too much fun to stop and take any pictures.
I’d offer to do it next time, but I think I’m quite possibly the worst hostess ever. It stresses my mom out when I volunteer to host anything because she knows she’ll end up doing most of it :)
Annie, This would be the most fun birthday party ever! Do it!!
Now! Look at this! If this isn’t the greatest idea ever!!!!! I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I think I’d like to do this for my birthday! What a fabulous idea! And the decor is perfect!
Can we talk again about those prints you have above the couch…I need to know where to get these! LOVE THEM!
Great job girl! Everything looks perfect!!!!

Once upon a time, we went out on a hot date every Valentine’s Day. But now it’s the one night I don’t enjoy going out. It’s crazy! So instead we celebrated last week by spending the morning in St. Augustine. Just me and my Valentine… and his shadow. We love St. Augustine, especially the 30…
Hey Jen! I need to thank your sister!! You should def throw one-we had a blast. Got the scarf at Target. :)
My sister just sent me your blog and I’m pretty much obsessed. It’s too much fun! I definitely am going to have to throw a favorite things party. And where did you get that scarf?? I’m in love. :)
Jules, As long as he’s out-numbered we’re good. When it’s just me it’s crazy-town for sure!!
OK. Fess up. Is Kingston really that fun & well behaved or are pictures deceiving? I’d spend too much time chasing & dragging Aubrey Jo to be able to sneak even 1 decent photo of our outing. LoL
Everyone brings 5 of the same thing but takes home 5 different things. I feel ya!
Um, just pretend I left this on the correct blog entry please. It’s been a long day!
Johnny & June, bahaha I love it! And okay, so does that mean each person gets 5 of the SAME things to take home or 5 things meaning 1 of each? Help a sister out.
Hey Katie! I’m glad too, and happy you found a little Monday night entertainment!!
Sarah, Thanks so much. He’s a mess!
Love the photos! Your son is a cutie!
I’m so glad you found me, because I’m now securely parked at your blog for the rest of my evening. ;) Thanks for leaving us a little love.
Annie, Would you be cool with skinny jeans and Converse too? Ha!! Come on down here. We’re actually having winter for about 3 days!
Kingston has to be the best dressed little fella I’ve ever seen! I mean, really. Can you please hurry up and come up here and dress me! These pictures are great! I might need to come visit soon! ;)
Ginger, Isn’t it a beautiful place? So much to see!
Too cool. Seeing your pictures brings back memories of Mom taking us to St Augustine. Not as often as you go but it must’ve been one of her favorite cities too. She would’ve snatched that belly dancer outfit up, I believe.
Kacia, I’m totally enjoying this stage where I get to dress him however I want, and he doesn’t care. :) I KNOW you can relate!!
you do realize his outfit is TO DIE FOR right!??!!? omygoodness. Also? you are stunning.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” – Martin Luther King Jr. Well, that was FUN!!! I realized over the last few weeks that I want sharing God’s love with others, even when it’s not convenient, to become such a part of…
Stacey, I’m so glad you did it with us!
Thanks for hosting this blog hop event. It is sometimes hard to stop and take the time we need to do good for others and ourselves in this every day hurry we call life. It has brought to the forefront for me things I should be doing year around and without even thinking twice about them. I have enjoyed reading through the hop blogs to see how other women and their families are Sharing the Love every day. Thank you (and Annie at The Farrar Four) for sharing your great inspiration.
SB, I’m so glad to hear it. Sometimes we really just need a little reminder, ya know?!?
LOVE this! we realized much the same thing – people give so selflessly to US, all the time! this project helped foster some serious gratitude…
Thanks Kristian! Proud of you!
Thank you so much or putting this together! What a blessing it has been to bless and be blessed! So thankful to be included in this :)
Annie, You’re so sweet. It’s great to be “surrounded” by people like you!
Love that you were also blessed by others sharing the love this week too! You deserve it! You have a heart of gold! Thank you so much for doing this and asking me to be a part!!!! It was so fun to see what I could actually do with little time and/or money to make someone elses day!
Hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!
xoxox
Katie, That’s GREAT! Thank you so much for doing this with us!!!
Thankyou so much for organizing this Lyndsay!! I was worried I’d be really limited in what I could do but God taught me so much about the power of the “little” everyday things and the power of encouragement. :)
Kacia, You taking a leap and starting She Reads Truth totally encouraged me!!
Thank you for planning and hosting this event, Lyndsay!!! I love your recap- and your photos are spectacular…. As always! I just don’t comment enough to tell you that!
I’m doing the “blog circle” with these 5 other girls again this month, so when you’re finished here, be sure to check out Ginger’s post and make your way through the circle until you find your place back here! Our February has been really low-key. This is completely out of the norm for us, and…
Love this! Such a sweet moment. And I think I need a virtual tour of your house. Best style ever! :)
Ha! Thanks so much Kacia!
seriously so cute. seriously.
Thanks Wynne!
LOVE IT GIRL!!!

Missy Douglass - LOL!!! I love the picture of Eddy the dinner creeper! The Foyes are awesome. February has been really tough on John and I…really, if I am honest…the past few months. Misery loves company, I guess. We are praying for you guys and you’re right…God knew that you all needed to see friendly faces and I am so glad you both got an evening out with some fun frivolity! Hope we see y’all soon!
annie - I’m with you. So far, February can take it and shove it where the sun don’t shine. January too for that matter. I GIVE UP! I think that’s the point. When we are at our lowest, He’s there. He’s there at the highest too…but we don’t always ‘need him’. It’s at our lowest, we cry out more. Bless you sister. I’ll hide with you if you wanna run! ;) Because I”m ready! xoxoxo Praying! Love you girl!
pinkcoffeephoto - Pops, That is SO RANDOM!!
Poppa - OK, here is some Riverside trivia for you. What restaurant was originally housed in the building where the Salty Fig is now?
Give up? It was “Buddy Ezell’s Bar-B-Q”, circa 1977. There was a guy who worked there who looked just like the “dinner creeper.”
KC @ genxfinance - Actually, I think he just wants to be in the picture.. lol :D But good thing you get to spend some time together and just the two of you. And what you are eating, yum!
pinkcoffeephoto - Whit, I think I need to be more of a ventor. is that a word?! Thanks for being so sweet!!
Whitney - Lyndsay – so I guess you knew EXACTLY how I felt when I probably vented too much to your simple question last Sunday. (Probably more than you wanted or needed) But unlike you I typically don’t hide but blurt out my problems in hopes I will feel better. February is over this week and I hope when it is over you are offered clarity to your struggles. :-) Thanks for being you and sharing your awesomeness with all of us!
pinkcoffeephoto - Ha! Tracy, thanks for making me laugh!!! You totally called me out on that one. But it has some veggies too. :)
Tracy - Hmmmm, is that a sophisticated mustard and cheese sandwich you are eating?
pinkcoffeephoto - I’m sorry, Tara! Ugh. I agree. And some salty stuff too? Praying for your fam!
Tara - Must be in the air. Weird month. I know too many people going through tough stuff right now, including us. I say we all crawl under a rock and hide together for a bit. No talking, just eating lots of sorrow-drowning chocolate. What do you say? :D Hugs and prayers.
pinkcoffeephoto - Jennifer, I swear we’re related! Heard you are totally sick. So sorry. Hope you feel better FAST!
Jennifer - Yep. I’m a hider too. So good on ya for not crawling in a hole! For finding escape around people when you’d rather be alone in your pain. How else can God redeem our suffering if we keep it all to ourselves? Oh, and I love those appointed run-ins, don’t you? Especially if they are sweet and stay at their own table.
pinkcoffeephoto - Tammy, So glad YOU were one of those people! Thanks for praying!
Tammy - Ahhh LOVE Salty Fig. We are similar in the way we cope…. “When I’m really dealing with hard stuff I like to hide.” God places people in our lives sometimes for just the very reason of being an encourager! Praise Him for placing those special people in your path just when you needed them! Praying for you my friend! Thank you for sharing….it encouraged me!
pinkcoffeephoto - Eddy, I agree. :)
Eddy Foye - Creepiest dinner creeper ever!
