Lucky.

Cleaning out a closet today and stumbled upon a memory box from my younger son's First Birthday. I cannot believe this little chimp is going to be SIX!
His First Birthday was a baby cowboy & horse theme-held at a Harness Racing Museum. Such a special memory for so many reasons.

I usually give out a small party favor for the adults in addition to the kids. I know, I know, but it is just something I do for a very special reason..

For this party, we gave a Lucky Horseshoe to each family that attended-to bring good luck and love from our sweet Baby Cowboy. These special horseshoes still hang in the homes of our friends and family. Beyond special.

kind of politically correct way

Fascinating Amanda facts:)

favorite color -- anything bright.... I'm an Auburn girl, so maybe War Eagle orange!


favorite team -- uhhh, I think I just answered that -- early bird gets the worm....

one food forever??? Hmmmm...... maybe homemade chocolate chip cookies with oatmeal right out of the oven..... I'm smiling right now just thinking about it.

party trend you are crushing on -- Weird, maybe, but the first thing that comes to mind is the trend for so many women to be "into" parties. I don't really know anyone personally who loves a beautiful detailed party like I do, so the internet and all my bloggy party girls are a my crush, I guess. I love clicking around and seeing all the creativity out there. It's so inspiring!

So "Over" party trend -- anything commercialized to death. I have no need for Party City in my life.

Favorite aisle in the craft store -- Well, you might be asking the wrong girl. I am a do-it-your-selfer in every since of the word (I think it stems from my penchant for not spending money)..... so I do just about everything myself. I guess it would depend on the day and the project.... Hobby Lobby still revs up my engine every time I walk in!

Do I wear Uggs? No, not Uggs.... but I do have maybe 4 pair that look like Uggs.... and they pretty much are on my feet from the time I feel the first chill in the air til Spring Break. I love them!

Do I really exercise? -- Uhhh, you caught me! Does thinking about it count?? I'd love to but starting a new business means new priorities. Maybe one of these days real soon I'll put myself on that priority list, but for now it's ALL PARTIES ALL THE TIME!

Minivan??? Been there, done that. Nope, I love my Expedition.... a party girl's dream! The back seats are electronic and fold down with a press of a button!

Favorite holiday? At Halloween, I say Halloween. Then Christmas comes, and I'm swept up in the whole holiday hoop-la! I love it, and I love how excited my kids get about it.

Favorite smell? Gardenias -- reminds me of growing up in Mississippi and our huge wooded yard that I played in every day with my friends. Amazing how smells bring back memories!

Color my Hair? On occasion, although again, starting your own business usually means sweats and ponytails.... there haven't been too many trips to the beauty salon lately!

Do I think I'm cool? You know, I don't think it really matters what I think.... my kids actually say I am (or at least they do when they want a piece of candy!) So that's a pretty good statement of cool, I guess.

Fascinating facts about Charlotte:)

• favorite color? Hmmm....I have trouble making decisions, and so favorites are kind of elusive to me, but I will say green. Being especially partial to Kelly green and chartreuse, but I love them all!


• favorite team? Ack! Well you see, I don't really have one, but if I had to pick I'd say the Dallas Mavericks. Although, I haven't watched in quite a while. I've been a bit upset ever since they got rid of Avery.

• if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Mexican food, but if we are being specific here, then I would say fajitas and the mandatory chips, salsa and guac on the side!

• party trend you are crushing on? Anything with a totally vintage, shabby-chic or whimsy feel. Love all of the elements being not-quite- perfect or matchy-matchy. Even kind of an Anthropologie-esque kind of feel, definitely one of my faves right now.

• party trend you are so over? Um, I'm drawing a blank on this right now, but something I see a little more than I care for is just when parties are over-worked and not-realistic or too matchy-matchy. OR when too many of the elements seem contrived.

• favorite aisle in the craft store? Ha! Scrapbook paper and punches. But I also love me ribbon and fabrics too!

• do you wear Uggs? I wear fUggs as in faux-Uggs. =) In all honesty, I want some Uggs, but they're not in my budget right now and I'm a totally frugal girl, so I have to find a steal on them before they'll end up in my closet.

• do you really exercise? I try, but have been on sabbatical. I need to get back to it cause this mama is outta shape and has yet to shed this post-pregnancy poundage!

• minivan or non minivan driving? Non-minivan driving, but I must confess...the Swaggerwagon did catch my attention.

• favorite holiday? LOVE them all, but Christmas is my fave.

• favorite smell? Don't think I'm ill, but I love the way my boys smell after their baths. All nice and so fresh and so clean. Clean. They just smell so good, makes me want to just snuggle and sniff their little heads all day long....if only they'd let me.

• do you color your hair? That would be a HUGE YES! Apparently it's hereditary in my family to start getting your grays early on, so I started *having* to disguise them starting in my early twenties. Although, I will say that I love to color my hair and to mix things up here and there when it comes to my look and styling and am also a former hairstylist, specifically a color-specialist, so it's in my nature anyways which makes it a tad more tolerable.

• do you think you’re cool? I do, but then I would question it since I'm overly-analytical like that. ;)

• do you wear Uggs? Yes but really want a pair of the knit ones. Just bought my daughter some knit knee high ones. We seem to always dress our kids the way we want to look!

Fascinating Joanne trivia:)

1. My favorite color is navy. I always want to say pink, but navy is so good year round, every season. I always go for the darker hues.


2. My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. They make me want to scream and kick in my TV, but I just can't stop watching. It's like a trainwreck.

3. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life it would be chocolate. Oh yeah, kinda like it is right now.

4. A party trend I am crushing on now is the new doughnut trend. I feel sorry for cupcakes, but they had a good run. I am trying to come up with a new doughnut party concept.

5. The party trend I am so over is about to be poms. I love them, my clients want them, I fold and poof every one, maybe that's why. They sure are pretty though.

6. Ooh, my favorite craft aisle is the ribbon. I love ribbon. I have a closet full of it.

7. Uggs? I am undecided on that. Part of me feels I am too old for those, but the other part says, ooh, comfy warm goodness. So I will answer this again this winter. Of course, I live in South Texas so I only get like 2 weeks to wear them.

8. Exercise. What's this you say? I used to go to the gym daily, but now thanks to blogging, I just can't find the time. Hmm, I wonder. My new motto is "blogging makes you fat".

9. Minivan or No minivan...Uh, do you even have to ask? Seriously. Hell no. Not even an option. My family cars have been, 2 Suburbans and now a Navigator.

10. My favorite holiday is of course, Christmas. I love gearing up for the holidays and having time off from school. I host a huge Christmas party once hosted my my grandmother. I am keeping the tradition alive with tamales and chili on Christmas Eve.

11. My favorite smell is vanilla. I love vanilla extract. Victoria Secret used to make a vanilla perfume. I think I drank it all.

12. Do I color my hair? OMG, if you only knew that under this fabulous color of mine, I am completely gray. Yeppers, thanks, Mom! Standing appointment every 4 weeks.

13. Do I think I am cool? Heck no, but other people do. I've never been cool, not even sure if my kids think I'm cool. I want to be cool. I think it's crazy how others think I am like soo funny, creative and smart. My clients think I am, so I guess that's a good thing! ;)

Fascinating facts about Nicole:)

1. Fave Color: Red. Any shade. Crimson, cranberry, cherry...even orange-y shades. Yeah...kinda makes me think I'm crushin' on Orange a little bit too. I'm a recovering Pink lover as well...I'm in the 12 step program.


2. Fave Team: I will make my husband proud...the Kansas City Chiefs. Okay...to be honest, I like the team with the handsome men and the nice looking uniforms/jerseys (no matter the sport) - ha!

3. One food for the rest of my life: Cheesecake. Period.

4. Party Trend I'm Crushing on: Donuts. Yes, there I said it. I'm in love with donuts...still love the cupcakes...but I love the donuts. Cupcakes + donuts = insane bliss. Oh wait...how about tying up EVERYTHING in twine too! :) If there's a way to add some glitter to that mix, I'd be all over it.

5. Party Trend I'm So Over: Cheapy party favors. I know...it would be so boring for the kids not to get party favors...but what about making them at the party?! A fun craft, DIY cupcakes or cookies...there's just something fun about 'creating' what you can take home! Avoid the urge to fill up bags with dollar store items...it's hard, I know...especially when they 'go with the theme'! :)

6. Favorite Aisle in the Craft Store: The Martha Stewart Crafts aisle. I know...it's probably so cliche. But that woman (and her craft creating army) creates some amazing things. I get my fix by shopping in HER aisle.

7. Do you wear Uggs: Nope. Am I the only one? Maybe I should invest in a pair :)

8. Do I really exercise: Umm...I'm starting tomorrow. Promise.

9. Minivan or Non-Minivan: Currently...I'm a non-minivan driver. And I even have little ones! GASP. And I kinda love it! Not really planning on taking the leap any time soon. :)

10. Favorite Holiday: Today: Halloween...Tomorrow: Christmas. It really depends on which store's holiday decorations gets my attention. My daughter's birthday is the day before Halloween, so we tend to go overboard in that department...but once again...my love for the color RED has me swooning over all things Christmas!

11. Favorite Smell: The Yankee Candle Store (yes, the entire store...I mean, seriously...have you walked in there?!!?)....or the waft of deliciousness when walking in to Starbucks. It's another toss up.

12. Do I color my hair: Are there women out there that don't? This time of the year, I'm sportin' a more Autumn-ish 'do' with warm shades of brown, auburn and red...so the answer would be YES. Why, yes I do.

13. Do I think I'm cool: For sure! And so does everyone else...right? RIGHT?!! Just don't ask my kids...or any member of my family or close friends...they might lie.
