Today I want to introduce you to the amazingly talented Amber Venz! Not only is she an incredible jewelry designer here in Dallas with her own line, aptly named Amber Venz, but she also authors an amazing blog, called Venz Edits. Oh, and did I mention she’s the creator of a cool new way to [...]

I’ve introduced you to my friend Jennie before & told you about her amazing blog, but I’d like to do it again… Because… Last night she made the TOP 38 on FOX’s Masterchef! If you haven’t heard, Masterchef is a cooking show where amateur home cooks compete to be the next Masterchef. And, it stars the scary/adorable [...]

I’ve been looking for some new art for Maxton’s room, but having difficulty finding something that fits what I’m looking for. I want something colorful, something graphic, something that means something to Kevin and I, and something he can grow with. And, thanks to my friend Laura‘s recent post, I found it!!

As summer comes to a close, fall is upon us. It’s my favorite time of the year for more reasons than just the weather… It’s fall sweeps time!! I am such a tv lover. I love finding new series and having dvd marathons on shows I never had the chance to see from the start. [...]

I’m a little short on time these days! For those Twi-hards out there that haven’t heard of it, it’s a [...]

Over last weekend and throughout the week, I’ve putting more dents in my Thirty Before 30 list by having a tv series marathon. I used to be able to knock out a whole season of television in a day and a half. But, now that I have little Max, it’s not so easy! Somehow, I [...]

After seeing Inception this past weekend, I found myself loving the idea of a totem… I was mesmerized by the stylized spinning top that Leonardo DiCaprio carried.
