February was here, and then it was gone in a flash. Even though February lasted a wink, I found things out about myself and what I particularly favored.

One. A well-made Manhattan cocktail. I am a whiskey girl and tried a Manhattan in February. I would describe the cocktail as cinnamon-y and warming.

Two. A relaxed but productive Monday evening. I like to get home, and take a long shower, then start dinner. While dinner is cooking, I prep for the next day or read my sister and I’s book club book.

Three. Dinner parties. One thing about me? I love to host and cook an entire meal for a dinner party. I love making a menu, cooking everything, and decorating. Luckily, my mother enjoys helping with every aspect and lets me borrow her dining room since mine barely holds a table and four chairs. In February, I hosted my largest one yet with thirteen guests! It was so much fun. The menu theme was breakfast for dinner and it turned out so lovely. Three tables were combined to hold everyone. Check out the photos!

One thing I didn’t favor in February: How fast time flew.
