Pouf, a Dallas Blowout Salon

Welp, our grand opening celebration is this Saturday so I thought I'd share a few peeks with you all regarding this insane project I've been working on. I feel like opening a brick and mortar business is equal parts "this is a great idea" and "what the hell was I thinking" with a dash of Tums. Anyway, we're still waiting on our product shelving and a few more things but it's mostly pulled together. Word to the wise: if you're planning on opening a business, make a budget...and then double it.

Of One Sea

I don't know if you know Maryam of Milk Friendly but if you don't you should.  She's super nice and sweet and she just launched a new line of tees for babies and kids called Of One Sea. She was kind enough to send a tee for Margaux and her cousin to try out and these are seriously soft.  Like, I want one in every color.  And also for me.  I've been trying to get together and shoot the cousins in their tees but we haven't had a chance yet.  But Margaux has been wearing hers out!  Maryam sent us a 2T in Mint green with a white logo and it kind of fits perfectly.  It's a tad big which just means Margaux can wear it all summer long.  We rolled the sleeves up for a more girly look and she apparently was feeling pretty fetch, haha!  Look at that pose!

Anyway, if you have a kid, or baby, or know anyone with kids or babies, or are a tiny human you should buy one of these tees. <3 p="">

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day I wanted to go hiking. We had such a good time hiking the other weekend that I wanted to go again. This time we checked out Rockledge Park which is next to Lake Grapevine. It was really nice, actually. The trails went through the forest (?) and along the coast so it was nice and cool, shaded and with a nice breeze. We had packed a lunch and ate out at the park there. We don't buy each other presents, really for these occasions but I did get some lovely peonies (my favorite flower). It was actually one of my favorite Mother's Days so far. What did you all do?

Hiking

A couple of weeks ago we took advantage of the nice spring weather and went hiking at Cedar Hill Nature Preserve. We'd been once before, last fall(winter?) and it was a lot nicer this time! more flowers and leaves on the trees and things of that nature. Margaux was super excited about going hiking and lasted about 45 minutes in the carrier before she wanted to have a go on her own. She did pretty well and couldn't stop talking about hiking after! It may be our new favorite family activity and has us really excited for our trip to Oregon in August! We can't wait!

Family BBQ

In between working my beeheinie off getting this salon open, we had a gloriously wonderful day. We broke out the BBQ, grilled up some veggies and chicken breasts and drank some delicious drinks. We blew bubbles, laughed and filled our bellies. Hope you all are doing well!
