galentines day.

Galentines Day-

ladies celebrating ladies the day before Valentine's Day!

All thanks to Leslie Knope!

Only Parks and Recreation fans no what I'm talking about. 

It's pretty much hanging out with your girlfriends Valentine's Day style.

Lots of pink,

lots of sugar

and lots of T-Swift playing in the background. 

Oh and no boys allowed.

Except for Romie, of course.

This was my first time celebrating Galentine's Day,

and it certainly won't be my last.

I totally want to celebrate with my AZ besties next year!

Ah Arizona, I can't wait for you and all the get togethers I'm going to throw!

Hosting and decorating has totally become a hobby of mine. 

And I can't wait to be around friends and family in a few months to do more of it!

But back to Galentine's Day.

Everyone brought treats, we had a little nail station and then just had some good ole girl chat the rest of the night. 

These girls have been such a blessing in my life.

And such a wonderful support system these two years in Omaha.

I will sure miss them!

If you haven't thrown a Galentine's Day party yet, put it on your planner for next year. 

I promise you won't regret it.

girls night.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Last week it was the first 'married to medicine' girls night-

something I always look forward to!

Our activity of the night was called 'my favorite things,' and I thought it'd be fun to share my list with ya.

Everyone was asked to make a list of 10 things they've fallen in love with:

things you have learned, products you like, tips of any sort-

anything that makes you smile.

Then we each brought with us one thing on our list to exchange with each other,

so everyone left with something special.

I ended up with a beautiful scarf from India that one of the wives bought while traveling this summer with her husband, how cool it that?!

It was a blast.

And a game I totally recommend for girls night-

I mean, who doesn't want to know everyone's beauty secrets, best kept recipes or awesome shopping deals?!

Below is my little list and a few photos from the night.

Enjoy!

Oh and PS they're in no particular order.

1. Anthropolgie Candle: it's the aged silver 'volcano' candle that smells like heaven!

2. Fireworks Over Toccoa by Jeffrey Stepakoff: it's very Notebook-esk and based on a true story, highly recommend!

3. El Basha {Greek restaurant in Omaha- one of my favs}!

4. St. Ives Even & Bright Pink Lemonade & Mandarine Orange body wash- pretty much the reason I shower- it's another product that smells amazing!

5. My Kate Spade 'Mrs' necklace. Enough said.

6. Fake Bake Tanning Lotion- the bees knees! And doesn't make ya look like an Umpa Lumpa. 

7. VSCO Cam for editing Instagram pics.

8. A large Diet Sprite with a Diet Cherry add-in from Sonic- Mmmmm caffeine free and zero calories!

9. The blog, lovetaza- my favorite online read.

10. The note tradition that Zak and I do- each day we write each other a little note, whether it's an accomplishment, funny story, love note or whatever then we put it in a jar with the date on it. Finally on NYE we read all of them aloud and reflect on the year- it's the sweetest tradition ever, and something that I will always cherish.

This is only some of the group- but let me tell you, these ladies have been such a blessing in my life. 

When our husbands are studying from 6am-8pm everyday it can get pretty lonely,

and I can always count on them for company.

From shopping trips, to lunch dates and just hanging out and making dinner these girls have been such a wonderful support system,

and I can't thank them enough.

Mmm and they also know how to cook, too!
