    Make your friends feel special this Galentine's Day!

    With Valentine's Day coming up, now is the perfect time to do something special for my girlfriends. These ladies have really gone above and beyond what I could have ever imagined by helping my family since my foot surgery.

    For over a month now, they've been carting my kids to and from school, running errands for me, and selflessly sacrificing their time to keep me company. I don't know how they've done it all. I honestly don't know what we would have done without them! Our kids' schedules haven't skipped a beat over the last 4 weeks. That is no small feat for me, even on my best days. Honestly, brunch is the least I can do to thank them.

    What is Galentine's?

    Galentine's is a day that celebrates platonic relationships, typically between females.

    When is Galentine's Day?

    The day before Valentine's Day, February 13, is Galentine's Day!

    How to Host a Galentine's Brunch || I used a mixture of old and new pieces to decorate our table; my grandmothers china and select pieces from my friends gem collection pair perfectly together! || @thismessisours

    SET THE MOOD 

    We used a mixture of old and new elements on the table to create a more feminine, romantic feel for the party. Since I invited a very eclectic group of ladies to brunch, I really wanted the table to celebrate how diverse and beautiful they all are. We pulled off these "cozy vintage meets new age" vibes by using my Grandmother's china and lace. We then added some fresh flowers, soft linens, and gemstones.

    MAKE SHOPPING EASY

    These ladies are a busy crew with hectic schedules and families that depend on them. Gone are the days of late night cocktail parties with the girls to celebrate Valentine's. Now we have found the hours between 10 am and noon to be our sweet spot. We can meet up, put work off for a few hours and really enjoy each others company.

    Since time is so precious, I don't want to waste any of it running around to a bazillion different stores. I will go to my local grocery store that carries everything I need, from beautiful fresh flowers and fine wine to an impressive variety of fresh produce.

    SIPS & SUCH

    I wanted to have plenty of drink options for the girls to choose from. Since my friend Sabrina is the juice Queen, I asked her if she wouldn't mind bringing one of her gorgeous, fresh pressed juices to the party. She made this beauty with a combination of orange, strawberry, beet, and red bell pepper. The juice's color was absolutely stunning and tasted pretty incredible too! Alongside the juice, I set out sparkling water and a beautiful bottle of Rosé for us to indulge a little too.

    How to Host a Galentine's Brunch || Although you may be tempted to invite all of your lady friends to the Galentine's Day brunch, the more guests you have coming the more stressful the day can become. Keep the gathering small so you can slow down and enjoy mingling with them instead of feeling like you have to rush all over the place being the host. || @thismessisours

    Want to make some fun cocktails for your Galentine's Day celebration? Check these out:

    A Strawberry Lemon Smash Cocktail with fresh strawberries and lemon wheels

    Strawberry Lemon Smash Cocktail

    This cocktail is the perfect ratio of tart and sweet with freshly squeezed lemon juice and luscious berries all topped off with California sparkling wine to give it that irresistible fizz factor! 

    A Simple Recipe for Snow Cone Syrup with Moscato

    This easy recipe for snow cone syrup will transform shaved ice into a delicious treat. All you need is ice, Moscato wine, sugar, water, and strawberries. The best part is that you can customize the flavor of your snow cones however you like by changing up the fruit in the recipe

    MIX & MINGLE

    This year I opted to keep the gathering at my Galentine's Day brunch small and intimate. It was important to me that these lovely ladies that have been bending over backward to help keep our life on track were able to meet and connect. It's rare for someone to find friends that feel like family. It filled my heart to have them all around the same table together!

    Berry and Goat Cheese Crostini || Simple and elegant! || @thismessisours

    EASY EATS

    Last but definitely not least, we should talk about the food! I always suggest a combination of sweet and savory so that there is a little something for everyone at the table. However, I definitely don't think you should break your back (or wallet) preparing difficult recipes! The two deceptively simple recipes that I created for our Galentine's Day brunch come together in less than 20 minutes each. They were met with rave reviews from the ladies.

    My Favorite Galentine's Foods:

    Mixed Berry and Goat Cheese Crostini

    I swear next to chocolate and wine, berries scream "Valentine's" louder than any other food on the planet! While not difficult whatsoever, these gorgeous little Berry and Goat Cheese Crostini pack a huge flavor punch with the combination of sugar kissed berries, creamy goat cheese, and honey.

    Simple Skillet Eggs with Kale and Leeks recipe || @thismessisours

    Easy Skillet Eggs with Kale and Leeks

    This recipe has been in my constant rotation for years, I'm not really sure why it hasn't made its way to our archives yet. It's pretty much the little black dress of egg dishes in my opinion - it's simple but leaves a lasting impression. It's not overly fussy, it compliments just about anything you serve along with it and the best part, it's completely customizable and can be made with literally endless combinations of items you have on hand in your fridge.
