I recently gathered some of my favorite women to share some of our favorite things. Enter "Favorite Things Party"! The rules were simple. 10 (plus me) women brought 10 of the one thing they cannot live without (that costs between $1-10).

When someone says they have their gifts purchased and wrapped by September, I generally want to punch her in the face. Now, I love gift giving - the shopping, the wrapping, everything! - but I like to do it in the weeks just before Christmas, mostly on account of my procrastination and such.

I am thrilled to be featured on one of my favorite sites, Houzz, today! If you are not familiar with Houzz, it's is like Pinterest for home design (clouds open, angels descend...it's awesome).

Us Pinterest craft mavens recently convened over hand-stamped totes and napkins. This project was easy and so much fun with endless possibilities!

My daughter is a girly girl. You may remember her princess party last year. That was her in her essence. So when she told me she had changed her mind and now, instead of a fairy birthday party, she wanted reptiles, I was taken aback but super excited for a break from pink frills.

My grandfather was a real cowboy in Oklahoma and always had a love of horses. We rode his horses and even competed with him in rodeos when we were young, so when the doc announced to us,”it’s a boy!” I knew a cowboy party would be in his future.

My little girl wanted nothing more than a princess party for her 5th birthday. Your wish is my command, m’lady!
