Day at the Zoo

Last Saturday we bought a membership to the Dallas Zoo and today we decided to take advantage of our new passes. We met our sweet friends the Cobb boys and had a blast hanging out at the zoo.I love the fact that the kids can run around and burn off some energy all while having an educational, fun experience. The great thing about our new membership is I don’t feel obligated to rush around and see everything. If the kids want to spend an hour in the Reptile House checking out the snakes and alligators we can, or if they want to sit and make funny faces at the Gorilla for what seems like an eternity it’s no biggie. It just opens the door for lots of curiosity and exploration!Here are some pictures from our trip to the zoo:

POV: When your college daughter bleeds burnt orang POV: When your college daughter bleeds burnt orange…you make a Texas Longhorn themed Christmas tree! 

I mean are you really even a super fan until you have a Christmas tree decked out in UT decor?!?

Let me tell you finding orange Christmas decor is a challenge, which I happily accepted. I made lots of the ornaments and got creative with the decor (like the plush longhorns and cowboy boots cups) and I love how this turned out. 

Do you have a unique themed tree you put up every year?

This makes the BEST holiday gifts… This is you This makes the BEST holiday gifts… 

This is your reminder to make homemade vanilla extract NOW so it will be ready to give as gifts at Christmas time!

Making homemade vanilla is easy, and it’s so much better than what you get at the store.

I love making this for neighbors, friends, teachers and friends. I pair it with homemade vanilla cinnamon pecans for the perfect gift. 

For the full tutorial, supplies, and printable labels comment VANILLA and I’ll send you the 🔗link.

It’s time... Ok, maybe it’s still a little ea It’s time...

Ok, maybe it’s still a little early, but SAVE this post and comment TREE for the 🔗 link to all the details so you can create your own dream tree this holiday season!

I’m creating this year’s dream tree with the perfect flocked tree from @kingofchristmas, flocked ornaments, and luxury ribbon from @decoratorswarehouse 

I’m obsessed with this elegant tree, featuring a neutral vibe with pops of champagne gold and brown. I love a flocked tree because it reminds me of a snowy Christmas, and this 8’ King Flock Slim Artificial Tree is the perfect tree, and I promise it won’t leave a giant mess! 

Hands up 🙌🏻 if you’re ready for Christmas🌲

I may have just finished putting up all the Hallow I may have just finished putting up all the Halloween decorations in my yard, but it looks like Mariah and @kingofchristmas are warming up…

Stay tuned for my first Christmas tree reveal of the season, I think it may just be the most beautiful one I’ve created to date (and I’ve been doing this for 10+years)

Creepy, but chic Halloween decor. Comment HAUNTED Creepy, but chic Halloween decor.  Comment HAUNTED for the 🔗LINKS !

Creepy arms, cascading vines, and moss give the impression of a once-vibrant garden overtaken by time and ghosts.  A swarm of black butterflies flutter above moss and garden vines. Skulls lie covered in moss, and lanterns flicker, bringing this eerie Halloween display to life.

I’m obsessed with these creepy arms and love how they elevate my Halloween mantel decor.  What do you think, is this a YAY or NAY?

Don’t forget to SAVE this for inspo + SHARE with your Halloween bestie.
