Goat Brushing with Nolie
Ever since we received a family membership to the zoo from the Blairs, we have tried to make as many trips as possible, because there is so much to do and see for toddlers. Besides the fact that he loves it! Best present ever Caroline!
Two Chicks to Love
A few Fridays back, Marianne and I took these little friends to the Children's Museum.

Playlists are important. Especially when it comes to running, walking or jogging. My "work-out" playlist looks vastly different than my regular playlist. I need something that will keep a pace, and typically angry girl music fits the bill. Here are a few from my current playlist if you promise not to laugh! What are some of your favorites?

When you think about it, we spend a lot of our time with the people that we work with. Many of us sometimes feel married to our computers. I spend Monday-Thursday and every other Friday at the office, which can easily become depressing and often times I find it difficult to prioritize and become successful in my personal and professional life. Sometimes I wish there was a handbook. A step by step manual for moms, business, and women in general. And while I do not have all the answers and learn something new everyday, I actually feel pretty good about where I am today. It isn't perfect, but it is pretty great. My father has been a huge influence on me when it comes to my career. I leaned on him when I first entered the professional world and to this day call him for advice. When it comes to being "business savvy," I think about my father. I pretty much owe most of my success to him. The rest of my success could not have happened without several key people and a few tips that I thought that I would pass along on today's wink.

Wednesday Wink 008 & Winner
Wednesday Wink 008
I love finding the perfect gift for every occasion. Recently, I have been gathering gifts for children's birthdays and baby showers which has been so much fun, but I was so thrilled when I found out Diana got engaged over the weekend because I got to go shopping for engagement gifts! Just a little something to say congrats and I am so happy for you! I haven't gone "I am happy for you" shopping in a while, but I rely on a few favorites when it comes to girlfriends receiving new jewelry! A ring holder, in my mind, is the perfect engagement news gift. Something to highlight her bling! Waterford makes several beautiful crystal holders and for a more modern flare, check out Red Envelope (Choose the elephant and come up with a cute message like "Never Forget"). My favorite ring holders are these hand blown ones from Henrietta Glass. They come in tons of amazing colors and no two holders are alike. For Diana, I chose an aquamarine inspired holder since she will be married next March. If you know your bride's colors for the wedding or the special date, choosing a coordinating color pallet makes the gift more personal. I truly hope she loves it as much as I had fun shopping. Congrats sweet friend!

Go Texans
It took my husband 6 years in Houston to finally become a Texans' fan. They owe it all to #38 Danieal Manning!

Wednesday Wink 007 & $100 Giveaway
Turkey sandwich, peanut butter and jelly, chicken nuggets... Repeat! A variety of healthy, pick-up friendly foods for a toddler's lunch is such a struggle. As a working mom this is probably one of the biggest challenges. Not only do you have to worry about whether an item is healthy, but also if your toddler will be able to eat it without making a complete mess. Or how about keeping the milk cold and the pasta hot? I am better when I plan. So, this school year I decided to come up with a monthly meal schedule. Something a little more creative.
Note: This was purchased by Kathryn's Camera and is NOT affiliated with Pappas.
When I get our daily report card home, I will be able to check those meals that worked, and then 'X' those that were not kid-approved! I would love to hear some of your lunch ideas! And all that lunch planning makes me exhausted... so let's eat out tonight! I am giving away $100 GIFT CARD TO PAPPAS BROS. This card is good at all the Pappas Restaurants: Pappadeaux, Pappasitos Cantina, Pappas Seafood House, Pappas Bros. Steakhouse, Pappas Bar-B-Q, Yia Yia Mary's Greek Kitchen, and Pappas Burger!

A Special Gift
Things happen for a reason. Like being super behind on blogging and pulling up the next post in line in the most appropriate moment. A complete God Wink. Because even though he is no longer with us on this earth, he is forever in our hearts and always on my mind. I can see him... feel him... hear him... in all that I am and all that I do. Today a very special man was born. Today I am smiling. Today we remember Kenneth Stone's birthday.
