Valentine's Day - Date Night Outfit Inspo

I have always been very fond of Valentine's Day I remember as a little girl, being excited to decorate my little mailbox with cute doily hearts, glitter stickers and much more!  I love Valentine's Day because it's a day to celebrate friendship and love.  We have love for our family, our spouse, our partners, our friends, our neighbors, our pets, and more! My husband and I decided to go out for a nice dinner the Saturday before the 14th!  It always gets so crowded on the day of, so we made reservations at SER Steakhouse in downtown Dallas.  The restaurant has a beautiful view of the the downtown area and the service was exceptional!

(shhhh...don't tell mother nature) We've been outside enjoying the gorgeous weather before it gets to be 110 degrees here in Texas.  As you may remember, back in 2011, I was planning a fantastic Easter dinner before I was hospitalized with a brain hemorrhage and my dinner plans were foiled :( Well this year I promised myself to make up for it. I want my whole family enjoying a delicious Easter dinner. I want to make memories with my daughter's new, little, family, including this sweetheart : With working part-time and running my photography business, time is at a premium around here (as it is in most households).

Spring Break Wrap Up and a TUTU Giveaway

Well hey, hey everyone! It's Friday and many of you are winding down your Spring Break. It's back to the grind, y'all. Our Spring Break was last week and I got to take two days off work to do some fun things with my boys. I love to go downtown and "discover" new shops I'd never been to before as well as visit my favorite antiques shop. And let me tell you, I was smitten with SO many things, both old and new. But in particular, I had to take my boys into this cool new shop that sells all things STAR WARS! Order 66 Toys  208 E. Virginia St., McKinney, TX That's right! They were in heaven. The shop owners were SO nice and sweet and took time to  show my boys around their shop. They have mostly vintage toys but some newish ones too. ************* Next we were really hungry so we went into a new place {to us.} They have the yummiest pizzas! I had one called the Lone Star and it has a delicious ch...
