Another must have item for my baby's room is an owl shaped pillow! Here are a few that I am considering after an extensive Etsy search. Maybe I'll even make my own in my spare time. :)

So, I have about a month until my due date and the insomnia has really set in. Luckily, I have Etsy searches to keep me busy. I have been looking for something to hang on the baby's wall and I just came across this shop, Icing On The Cupcake. Here are some of the adorable prints they have!

Nooks and Crackers...er Crannies

Just wanted to give a BIG thank you to one of my fellow organizers, Janine Godwin, for giving Houston's Weekly Chic such a super sweet write up on her (highly entertaining) Nooks and Crannies blog. Whenever you need some helpful information/advice along with a pinch of wit and a dash of sarcastic humor, go check it out. She's a trip. Thanks Janine!

Wondering what I have been up to lately? I have been busy preparing for the baby's arrival! I had my final baby shower on Saturday and on Sunday I had a big Salvage Life Sale at my house. This will probably be the last sale for awhile. Let's see...what else?...setting up the baby's room, selling furniture we no longer need on Craig's List, clearing some of my clothes out of the closet in the baby's room, getting massages and Chiropractic adjustments for my increasingly painful back, going through baby hand-me-downs from family and friends, doing extra photo shoots and stocking up on merchandise so my business can make it through the newborn stage, and waddling my way through the mall to find Christmas presents.


My favorite three-layer dip from Trader Joe's. Sun-tomato, Pesto and Cream Cheese. How cute are those star crackers?


Pinwheels! Cream cheese, ham and green onions wrapped in a flour tortilla and sliced up. The other version has olives and bell peppers, Delicious!


Pretty centerpieces!


The cake was made of cupcakes and had the cutest little baby made of fondant on top.


My mom gave me a box of my baby things and I absolutely love this sailor dress! i can't wait for her to wear it!


My Grandma got me the travel system (stroller and car seat) that I registered for.


My sister Amy got me the most adorable white faux fur coat for her to wear next winter.


Me and my dear cousin Joan!

Salvage Life Christmas Party and Sale

Here are some pics of the merchandise set up at my home for the Christmas Party and Sale I had on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Peace!

The iconic peace sign is about to turn 50. Dimensions is the only place (that I know about) giving it a formal Birthday party of all shapes and sizes. So lets go eat some proverbial cake! Some of the peace loving brands you will find celebrating at Dimensions are Awake, Twisted Heart and Lisa Freede.

"From tie-dye to stripes and scarves to stone, there is peace at last at Dimensions. "

I guess being over the hill isn't so bad when you are a sign.

6100 Westheimer, just west of the Galleria.

Monday through Friday, 10am – 6:30pm

Saturday, 10am – 6pm.

Now it's Obama's Turn... What shall he wear to his Inauguration?

With all the focus on what Michelle wore or should wear, both during the campaign and her anticipated outfit for the inauguration, we can be forgiven for forgetting what the President-elect should wear. Luckily some of the world's most adored menswear designer are on the ball. WWD.com has exclusive sketches from designers ranging from Salvatore Ferragamo to Sean John. See the slideshoe below for all the sketches of day and evening looks plus some snazzy ties. My picks are above.
