Ash Wednesday - You + Dallas

you're like...so random.

Haven't been to Hillside Village lately? Gasp!  Don't panic.  But do cancel your afternoon plans and, in the words of Kinsey Powell, Dallasite and no stranger to sarcasm, get...over there.  New stores are popping up all over the center, giving a fresh face to this Lakewood landmark.  One of my favorite new shops (and the prime place to perfect gift giving) is Random- a quirky, fun mix of stationary, home decor, jewelry and more.   Grab a Seda France candle for that hostess with the most-est, a Fatboy Doggielounge for your ever-faithful Fido or let your love flow with a greeting card by Southern Fried Paper.  "I love you more than NorthPark gold" is my personal fave.

love is in the air

Happy Valentines Day! This is from my post on www.dallaschildbaby.com - ENJOY!

There’s a new valentine in town. Tell your significant other not to fret, they’ll still receive your standard gift of golf balls, boxers and a letter of love…hand-written and heartfelt, of course. But a new baby in your life means you’ve fallen in love all over again. Why not send a bold sentiment to your tiny valentine this year with Jonathan Adler’s L O V E pillows. Creative, colorful and consistent with his ever-amusing and witty design style, they’re the perfect way to express just how nuts you are about your baby. Not to mention just how nuts you are about the cheeky flare of cheer they add to the nursery.

max-imum love

My husband and I welcomed the arrival of our son, Max, on April 29th and we can't get enough of him. Now - I fully realize I can't substitute him for the dolls I used to dress up as a child - but I must admit...getting him ready every morning has scratched that itch. Thank you, Julie of jujudesigns for this darling onesie. Visit her blog to see more of her creations.
