These darling sippy cups are from Monkey See Boutique. I emailed them to see if they could do other designs and found out that they pretty much have any design you can imagine. In addition to sippy cups, Monkey See Boutique has a variety of other personalized gifts to offer such as buckets, clothes, wine glasses, serving trays and much much more.
Sippy Cups, $12.00
Even at 30 years old, I get antsy waiting for the turkey to cook for Thanksgiving dinner. So I can’t imagine what it must be like for our children. Here are two cute centerpieces for your kids table that will also help curb their appetite until it is turkey time.

Being that I am a boy mom, I noticed that I haven’t really posted anything for all of you out there with sweet little girls. However, when I stumbled upon this kitchen, I knew that I had to share. Cat and her husband JT from Kiwi Wood Werks built this darling kitchen for their daughter’s first birthday. I love all of the details (check out the real faucet and great knobs on the stove) that the pair put into the kitchen. Move over Pottery Barn Kids, I think this is the kitchen to get!
You can check out more photos here and also see KWW’s line of fabulous frames.

I just recently joined the rest of the world and purchased an iPhone when my trusty phone finally died. I tried desperately to keep it alive, even using it still when the screen was blank and I couldn’t see who I was dialing or who was calling me. Since I never texted with the old phone (what’s the point when you can’t see anything?!?!), I have not been a big “texter” with the iPhone. However, those days may be changing thanks to my new iPhone app. As people say in Blog land “I am *swooning* over this!!
The iPhone app is called POST and is from GADABOUT. It only costs $0.99 and allows you to send the most adorable text messages. Your friends will be so impressed when they get one of these messages from you! Each one looks like a personal invitation and there are many designs to choose from.

There is nothing better than sending (or receiving) a handwritten note. Unfortunately as my life becomes busier, I have not been as good as I could be about sending them. If you are like me and prefer to send correspondence the old fashioned way, GADABOUT also has a line of super chic stationery for women and for men.

This week I had a lovely lady mention my blog on her website.
Lili of Swanky Chic Fete is a one hip party planning momma. She has everything on her blog from dreamy parties to fashion to great food finds. She was so kind to feature Jack's birthday party and has the most extensive list of party links you will ever find! For all of you Houstonians, Swanky Chic Fete also lists great events that are going on in town. Check out her blog for an event happening this weekend at Michael's Cookie Jar.
While furnishing our house over the past two years, we have gone through more cardboard boxes than one can imagine. I ordered a bench over the summer and we turned the box upside down, cut a window out, and made it Charlie’s Superhero Headquarters. I think he ended up playing restaurant and serving more food out of it than fighting crime, but nonetheless he had a blast! These designs are a little more sophisticated than the one we made, but guaranteed to provide countless hours of fun!
Barn, $29.95
Cottage, $28.99
Schoolhouse, $24.95
Condo, $275.00

As reported last week by Shop Girl in the Houston Chronicle:
“This news stopped me on deadline: H&M is coming to Texas. The affordable fashion retailer plans to open its first store in the Lone Star state in late 2011. H&M, or Hennes & Mauritz, will open a new 24,000 square-foot store at Dallas' NorthPark Center. According to the release, "H&M believes strongly in the Texas market and looks forward to bringing fashion-forward style to consumers in the area."
H&M has been expanding across the U.S. since the company's New York debut a decade ago. There are approximately 200 H&M stores in the U.S. and close to 2,000 stores in 37 countries around the world.
While there is no mention of a Houston store, we can only hope we're next in line.”

I first fell in love with H&M in the summer of 2001 while in Europe. I have since frequently checked their blog in hopes that they may one day make their way to the Lone Star State. Well, they are finally here. I just wish it were in H-Town. So until then, like Shop Girl, I can only hope….
