Friday Five!
This is just the first of a few new features we've got in the works for the blog in 2008.. the Friday Five! Every Friday we'll give you our top 5 list.. top 5 what? Umm.. anything! Whatever's new and cool, or just on our frontburner at the moment. Find a fun, family friendly product or new local business you think deserves a shout out? Let us know, we'll add it to the list! For now, here are the top 5 things on my mind this Friday, February 8th 2008!
Hannah Montana Movie
Yes, I'm going to cave and take them.. what else is a mom of 3 girls supposed to do? If you've been living under a rock and haven't yet experienced Hannahmania, you've been missing out! The songs are actually decent.. borderline catchy.. and the clothes & content is cool enough to keep the kids' attention but clean & wholesome enough to feel good about them watching it over. and. over. The movie is actually a film of her sold-out concert tour, and is only playing for a very limited run (one more week from what I hear!) so click on the link above to find a theater near you and be the hero in your little pop diva's eyes!
Edible Arrangements
One word... YUM! This site also has a few in-person stores around the Dallas-Fort Worth area, all of which delivery these amazing and delicious arrangements of fresh fruit directly to the lucky person of your choice! I was thrilled to receive one last fall from a darling client and have since passed on the pleasure to a few of my own favorite people! I can attest the the quality.. the fruit all arrives so fresh and juicy it's unbelievable, and we were able to make it last almost a week with the same great taste. Makes a GREAT gift for new babies, get well soon, or even a special valentine!
Creative Organizing
The name pretty much says it all.. this woman is amazing! I have to be careful to not read this blog on a bad day, or I might develop a serious inferiority complex... for the most part it's a fun and creative look at everything from housework to memory keeping, with unique ideas and solutions to everyday problems. And it just all looks so cute! It may be February but I'm still in new-year-purge mode and this is a great tool to give me ideas and keep me on track!
Etsy
If you've never been to this site.. be warned.. your checkbook will feel the pain! Absolutely enthralling, it's similar to ebay in that regular people post items for sale directly to the consumer, except that everything on etsy is completely handmade! I've been spending WAY too much time picking out crocheted baby booties and hats and blankets and everything for the little boy blue we've all been waiting for.. but there is way more than baby stuff here! Funky jewelry, one of a kind artwork, clothing, home decor.. you name it! Grab a cup of coffee and happy shopping!
Magic Dog Jewelry
I promise the five won't be all shopping every week.. but I couldn't not include this one! This company takes your kids' original artwork and creates beautiful sterling silver charms of the creation! It can be a little heart or a self-portrait.. the details of their handiwork are preserved in the heirloom piece forever! Great gift for grandparents.. and yourself! :)
That wraps up this list.. but I've got lots more in store for next week! And be sure to submit your ideas if you have them.. there's so much fun stuff going on in the area, why not share?
Have a great weekend!
