We enjoyed dinner at North and had the roasted cauliflower OMG. It had an egg, asparagus and then roasted cauliflower soooo yummy! We shared an entrée and dessert also.




I recently have seen several bloggers I follow (Sheaffer and Honey Were Home) talk about Colleen Rothschild products! I was curious so I went ahead and ordered two products and am loving them so far!


Target just came out with a new brand OPAL HOUSE and I am loving all the bright fun colors!!! I love to have seasonal plates out on my table. I think it adds some fun and then I can use them when we have friends over for desserts or dinner also.

You can't beat the 1.99 price tag either and to me they look very Anthropologie like! I have some bowls from Anthropologie that I love!!!

I also got some fun napkins for 3.00 each. I just think these are super cute and fun for the Spring and Summer months ahead. Think BBQs, Cinco de Mayo, 4th of July etc.

Happy Friday! As usual I am linking up with Andrea, Erika and Narci for another week of Friday Favorites! I can't believe EASTER is almost here!

I wanted to share a few EASTER basket goodies for all ages today! I am 31 years old and still love getting a chocolate Easter bunny on Easter Sunday!

1) William Sonoma and Pottery Barn

These are perfect item to add to anyone's Easter basket and they are sooo good! Right now you can get 20 percent off all Easter candy at William Sonoma!

I personally love their gummy candies but you can't go wrong with jelly beans! I got some for my dad!

Pottery Barn has some of my favorite Easter plates right now as does Pottery Barn kids! I am loving all the Peter Rabbit Stuff that is out right now!

Peter Rabbit plates
2) Fun statement earrings and travel case

Jewelry
3) Books for the book lover

I love Usborne books and books just in general.  I just finished reading The Wedding Date...it was super cute, a good chick lit read, but warning parts of it are rated R.

The Wedding Date

4) I am loving the BBG workouts and have a fun update coming soon to the blog...be looking for some healthy breakfast ideas on Wednesday and a recap of Week 1 of BBG. So far I have completed all 3 LISS workouts and 2 resistance workouts. I am a sweaty mess when I finish and loving the workouts so far!

5) Dry Shampoo



I am currently loving the Queen Bee Hippie dry shampoo. The lady who owns the company is local to the Shreveport/Bossier area and I recently tried her dry shampoo. It is not a spray it is more of a powder. NEVER EVER in my life have I been able to go 3 days without washing my hair!! OMG I love this product. You can order through her FB page.

I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend enjoying the warmer temperatures!

Happy FRIDAY! Today, I am linking up with Andrea, Erika and Narci for Friday Favorites!!



It is hard to believe how fast the weeks are flying by and that it is almost APRIL and Easter. The weather is finally warming up and feeling like SPRING!

I wanted to start this Friday off with a fun giveaway! Stella and Dot released their new SPRING line last week and OMG the fun bright colors just SCREAM warm weather, beaches and a fruity drink!!

Tell me your favorite thing about SPRING in the comments to be entered to win! I am giving away a SHAKE YOUR PALM PALMS bag to the lucky winner!

Last night I celebrated my sweet dad's 66th birthday! We had a wonderful dinner in Austin with family and friends!

I started BBG workouts this week in addition to working out with my trainer. I plan to incorportate this along with healthy eating into my weeks until our cruise in MAY.

I am ready to get in my yard, plant flowers and enjoy this beautiful weather! What are your weekend plans?

Happy FRIDAY! Today, I am linking up with Narci, Andrea and Erika for this week's edition of Friday Favorites!!

This week I went to Austin, for a little retail therapy with the Momma! It has been a rough couple of weeks between work, back pain and some little hiccups in the road.

I stopped into Banana Republic and I found some great traditional SPRING pieces. Here in TX it is cooler in the AM and then it warms up! These little sweaters are the perfect weight and I have bought them season after season. This year I got pink.

Here I am wearing it in green last year!

The green will be perfect for St. Patricks' Day coming up soon!
The SPRING Stella and Dot line launched this week. I love all the bright colors and textures they used with this collection. Hello corals, blues, greens and all things tropical. This collection makes me want to grab a drink and go to the beach!



Today we are throwing a baby shower for a couple in our small group! I am off to make some taco meat and chicken and some yummy enchilada dip!!

Today, I am linking up with Andrea (Momfessionals), Erika (TabandErika) and Narci (GraceandLove) for Friday Favorites!

This past week we have been in Vail, CO enjoying the snow and skiing. We have for the last 8 years headed to CO for skiing over the Valentine's/Presidents' Day weekend.

I plan to recap our trip and talk about our ski experience and the all the wonderful restaurants we visited. A few of our favorites are Lancelot (prime rib) and Montauk for seafood.

On this trip I have been using several new hair products and LOVING them.

I am really loving Dry Bar and Big Sexy products right now. They give my hair a lot of volume!

Today, I am linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea for Friday Favorites. WOW it is already February...I don't know about you but January also seems to drag by for me. I think it is the hype of coming down from having constant events, activities, and all the excitement of the holidays to keep us busy.

We being January thinking we need to organize, eat healthy and go to the gym!!

This week has been busy as we begin to prep to leave for a full week of skiing. I always like to lay out all the major ski equipment about 2 weeks in advance to make sure we have all the gloves, beanies, goggles, helmets, and layers we will need for skiing. As a TEXAN I don't have much cold weather gear so it is important to make sure we haven't lost anything.

It seems we always have because we have loaned out ski equipment that hasn't been returned. AHHHH

This year we each had to get a new set of goggles and hubby needed new gloves.

I needed some new layering pieces...I stopped into Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday and have to say what is NIKE thinking. I am not a BARBIE. I typically wear a size small but goodness me even the Medium felt super tight and no thank you. With all the bulky gear anyways I don't want something feeling skin tight on me.

I continued browsing around the store and ended up with two Calia by Carrie Underwood tops that were on sale!! Win Win

I got one in this pretty plum and then another in black. They are the perfect weight for skiing or some colder weather days!


We are gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday at our house and I am so excited to share SuperBowl commercial bingo from Coffee, Pancakes and Dreams.

I think this will be super fun for kids and adults alike. We also are doing a SuperBowl pot and I can't wait to see who wins. The Eagles or Patriots...I truly just watch for the commercials.

What is on your menu for SuperBowl Sunday? I think these recipes from Mix and Match Mama are super easy and fun if you are still looking to add something to your menu!

What are you planning to get the extra special person in your life for Valentine's Day?

Happy FRIYAY! Today I am linking up with Andrea, Narci and Erika for Friday Favorites.



If you haven't visited their blogs you SHOULD! Andrea is a school teacher and has great recipes, and fashion/home ideas. Narci is a photographer in the Dallas area and also a fellow Stella and Dot stylist and Erika share a lot about everything from fashion to football, babies and just life in general.

I can hardly believe that January is almost over but I am so excited about February! January is all about fresh starts, losing weight, and organizing but February is all about football and love. The two things make this girl super happy.

We are back to hosting our annual SUPERBOWL Sunday at our house and I cannot wait. While I love football, I truly don't care about who wins. I enjoy the food, company and commercials of SUPERBOWL Sunday.


Having lived in Louisiana for several years we always celebrated Mardi Gras and have a King Cake at our party. OMG this yummy cinnamon goodness is what keeps people in Louisiana happy among many things. Mardi Gras is huge in Louisiana, there are Mardi Gras balls and parade throughout the whole month. It is truly something everybody should experience.

Whoever finds the baby in their slice of King Cake is supposed to bring the King Cake the following year!!

I am also looking forward to our annual skiing trip in Vail, CO. My husband grew up skiing Vail and we have returned every year for the last 6 years. I am now skiing moguls and black runs right along with him. The hubby has been skiing since he was 2 years old off and on. This past year he even invested in his own pair of boots.


 We have stayed several places in Vail, but our favorite is the Tivoli lodge. It is only 5 stories and the local mascot puppy is always there to greet us!



I just love the town and all the wonderful restaurants. I have already begun talk of where to eat for Valentine's Day and throughout our trip. We typically make reservations on Open Table because it is easy and we get a reminder of where we are eating each day. Reservations book up quickly during Valentine's Day and the President's Day weekend.

What are you Valentines' Day plans? Do you prefer an evening at home or to go out?
