New Fall Wardrobe Pieces

Our recent trip to Minneapolis was one of the best visits we have had and having no tax on clothing is an added bonus!
Miss E was lucky enough to snag these two items which happened to be on sale with an additional 25% off.

 I love swing tops and she wore this smocked button top for our family and cousin photo
and the perfect fall/ winter coat for us here in Texas

Wednesday Words

There are moments and even days when you just need a laugh to bring things back into perspective.

I know I need to do my duty and vote but I can't say I am very impressed with our choices this election year. 

 and after having a fabulous long weekend in Minneapolis with friends and family we encountered an airport nightmare like no other on our way home. All I have to say is,  I hope to avoid the Dallas airport for some time. A long time! More on that later... So, when all you want to do is throw a fit and start getting sassy with the counter people for how they are treating you I need to remind myself of two things
1) I can either cry or 2) I can laugh. I like option 2 especially when I see this...


and when someone takes your sandwich you ordered and the food voucher they give you is not accepted anywhere because the airline is going bankrupt well, you just have to... laugh.

Friday's Party: Super Hero Birthday Party

Friday's party feature this week is a SUPER adorable vintage Super Hero birthday party by Rebecca at the Crafted Sparrow!

 How amazing is this backdrop?! 
 So many wonderful details went into the food/ dessert table. 
My favorite is the comic paper popcorn holders.


Super Hero Drink Station


 Great looking cupcakes!


Can't be a super hero without a cape!
Rebecca made each of the party guests a cape with the birthday boy having his own special cape.


 Pretty sure Captain America would be impressed with this party!

The best part is, Rebecca threw this party on a budget with many great finds from the local dollar tree!

Friday's Party: Sprinkles!

This Sprinkled with Love Birthday Party by Kojo designs is one of the cutest parties and themes I have ever seen. I'm not going to lie... its already bookmarked and is on the list for a future party for Miss E.

I love that the details and activities are very kid friendly. The dessert was all easy and non messy items such as sprinkled donuts, sprinkled pretzel sticks and sprinkled cookie sticks. All adorable treats that small party guests love.
The activities where super kid friendly with each party guest receiving a water bottle to go and "sprinkle" the plants, sidewalk, and each other. There was also a coloring station and the most adorable idea ever.... they were given accessories covered in sprinkles.
