Well, gang, my laptop has decided to crash and burn this week, so my posts won’t be quite what I’d hoped! But never fear, I’ve got my faves today and then a special Happy Blogiversary to me post on Friday! Yep, March is my two year anniversary of blogging AND my five year anniversary with Willow House (formerly Southern Living at HOME) AND my 45th birthday. It’s a month to party for sure, and I have a thing or two up my sleeve for you, my sweet readers. Woo hoo! Don’t I sound cheerful for someone that’s having to blog from her husband’s desk top???
Back to February…This month went by so quickly for me! I know, I know — it’s a short month anyway, but somehow we’re staring at March and all the spring craziness right around the corner. Are you ready? We haven’t really had a winter here in Atlanta, so I find myself not quite ready for spring. Almost. 🙂
I had a hard time narrowing down some favorites for the month, but this one was top of the list.
Have you met Karianne at Thistlewood Farm? Oh. My. Gosh. This is a must-read for so many reasons! She’s a talented DIY-er with incredible style and one of the kindest, sweetest bloggers around. And you will laugh and learn at the same time when you read her posts… winning!!
Next up would have to be NYC. My trips up there are always culture-filled, exciting, and fun, fun, fun. Come on… doesn’t this speak to you??

Yowza!
And my final, and probably most important, favorite in February is spending time with my family. February is that lovely lull when hunting season is over but the spring sports and kidtivities haven’t kicked in. My kids aren’t too overloaded with school work yet, the yard work isn’t pressing just yet, my classroom isn’t jumping and jiving with spring events just yet… ahhh. I think February is rapidly becoming one of my favorite months for spending time with my husband and kids. Movies on the couch, dinners out or in with friends, evenings at home.
It’s all ramping up already, so I’m glad I had that breather!!
What were your favorites during February?? Do tell!!
Just a reminder that my GFC is going away on March 1. I invite you to continue our conversation via Linky Followers, email subscription, Facebook, or Twitter. Thank you for your readership and the many kind comments!
Wow, that picture of NYC is just awesome!! And I, too, am in love with Thistlewood Farm, beautiful blog and even more beautiful person.
I hadn’t really looked at it in terms of months, but this month I have had a lot of extra time with my husband, so I would have to say that I agree, Feb is a good lull month for many reasons…with plenty of opportunities for extra family time.
And, what a BIG Friday you have coming up…so many fun things to celebrate…now to just get the computer fixed.
Glad to have found you through the new group!!

Just saying hi – and that I’m very happy to be following along! 🙂
I’m still jealous (in a good way) of your girls trip. I love that photo of New York, I haven’t been back in 5 years, way too long!
Beautiful shot of NYC! It makes me want to be there, right now. And I am also desperately in love with Thistlewood Farm blog. She’s brilliant!
Congratulations on all the milestones, that’s fantastic!
