The Grass is Greener...

Since I like consider myself to be a somewhat fashionable mom, I am always trying to find ways to incorporate style into some not-so-cute baby items. For instance, bottle drying racks. We originally had The First Years Spin and Store Drying Rack, which worked wonderfully, especially in the beginning when my son was drinking 7-8 bottles a day. Depending on what type of bottles you have, you'd be amazed at how many different parts there are! However, I just always found it to be an eye sore in our kitchen. Several months ago, when I was walking through the aisles of my favorite store (Target), I stumbled across the Boon Grass Countertop Drying Rack. It immediately caught my eye. "How modern and ultracool!", I thought to myself. But at the same time wondered if it really held THAT much. Much to my delight, it can hold quite a bit depending on how efficient I am at placing items. Check out the reviews and some pictures of how to utilize here. When it's time for Baby #2 (it will be a while folks, so don't get too excited), those are the racks I will definitely be using!

Viva La Juicy!

While I'm over the Juicy track suit movement, I AM into the Juicy rollerball. I like to wear perfume but don't necessarily like to douse myself in it. The rollerball is a perfect solution and it is the perfect size to carry around in your purse, and even your clutch. There are four scents to choose from, Viva La Juicy being my favorite.

Perfectly Pink Party

My best friend's daughter turned one last week and to celebrate, she threw a "Perfectly Pink" themed party. She got super creative and the party turned out awesome! Everyone was asked to wear pink in honor of the birthday girl, which I loved. It made the pictures that much more fun. I had a hard time trying to find something pink for my 9 month old son without having people mistake him for a girl. I decided on a white button up shirt, jeans, and a pink tie. His outfit was a hit at the party. I found the tie on one of my favorite websites, Etsy. For those of you who don't know what Etsy is, it's a site where you can buy handmade or vintage items (think crotched baby hats, stationary, jewelry, art, you name it!). BAR's outfit and BKB's party were a great success!

Blogging...about stuff.

A few of my friends have blogs, blogs with purpose. Whether it's about their passion of accessories, their event planning company, or their art - all of them have some sort of resounding theme. I am a pretty random person, so I figured my blog would be about a little bit of everything. I enjoy shopping, tv, my family & friends, and...well, random stuff:) This blog is more for me than anything. A way for me to pass the time and to let everyone know what I enjoy. We'll see how long I can actually keep this blog going!

Thanks to Dana, Kelly, & Joanna for inspiring me to create my own:)
