But I wanted to share with you now the shirt I will probably be wearing that day ... 

I got my favorite package in the mail this week!

 Ahhh!
Love me some Kikilarue packages in the mail!!

Above is the Maddie top in a small, color red.

Super comfortable and the perfect Valentine's Day shirt!!

Looking for a Valentine's Day card idea for your family?

Look no further ...

Last tip of advice for Valentine's Day ...
Don't buy your sweet treat from Kroger on Tates Creek in Lex hahaha

Especially the words "beauty" and "friend"
