February is here, friends! I love the fun recipes that come with this month – all the chocolate (my fave), strawberry everything, date-night worthy pastas, and so much more. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite healthier Valentine’s Day inspired recipes, Galentine’s Dinner hosting inspiration, and a little look at behind-the-scenes lately. Here’s this month’s newsletter!

Life Lately – Behind-The-Scenes

I know that technically we are right in the middle of winter, but I always see February as pre-spring. We’re so close! It’s been warmer than usual here in Oklahoma, so that has also been getting me excited for what’s to come. January was incredibly cold, dark, and honestly a bit of a tough month for us, so coming into February with sunshine and 70 degree days has honestly been such a sweet gift. SO grateful!

Not to mention all of the fun things that come with the month of February. Cody’s birthday is next week, and then of course Valentine’s Day! We have Vday parties for all of the kids at their schools, which I always think are so fun and cute. I love getting them little treats and making a whole thing of it! And Nova has the perfect little Valentine’s outfit that I’m pretty pumped about. It’s the little things, right?

There are also so many fun Valentine’s Day recipes coming this month, so be sure to join my email list (opens in a new tab) and follow over on Instagram (opens in a new tab) to stay tuned for those. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite healthyish Valentine’s Day recipes!
