This weekend is Mother’s Day, so I hope that you’ll be spending time on Sunday lovin’ on your mother.  I certainly plan to!

For now…here’s what caught my attention this week!

I’m such a sucker for “food art”!

I’m smitten with Kristine Mays’ Garment collection.

Paula Hayes’ gigantic terrariums are magnificent!

This pork tenderloin recipe with fresh herbs looks divine!

Here’s what 2000 calories looks like…

Does this stress anyone else out besides me?  Slow down, people!

I recently heard Andy Andrews speak.  Now I want to read every one of his books.  Best speaker ever!

Show your mom your love!  The very best gift…make her think you’ve sealed your love permanately….then make her happier by showing her that it’s temporary!

Ahhh, Paris!

I want to stay here.

Have a great weekend, lovelies!  XO!

Looks like Princess will be getting a doggie fountain for the hot Texas summer!  Don’t get me wrong…she’s a house dog, but it will be fun for her to get a cool drink of water while we’re sitting on the back deck…

Doggie Fountain, $43.94

How do you keep your dog cool in the summer?

The Z340 delivers the prints the we all know and loved…

This is the first Polaroid digital instant camera.  Shoot, edit and print like magic!

There’s just nothin’ better than an old school polaroid print!  Can’t wait to get my hands on one of these!

Find them here.

My friend at Grass Roots Eco Cleaners is doing something really great during the month of April.  They are joining with the National Autism  Association of North Texas to raise awareness of autism in their community.  Owner Courtney Benson said, “Several of our clients have children who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and find our toxin free dry cleaning services helpful when it comes to keeping their families healthy.  Because we are a company that likes to support small businesses (we sell really cool items made by small businesses here in DFW), we enlisted the help of a local business, The Umbrella Girl Shop, to create Hero Capes. The Hero Capes have been a really popular item that we have been carrying in the store, so we thought it was a perfect match for this great cause!”

For all Hero Capes sold during the month of April, Grass Roots Eco Cleaners will donate 20% of the proceeds to the National Association of Autism of North Texas.  Very cool!

Chances are that you may have seen Ice Milk Aprons in O Magazine‘s January issue.  Like other “O approved” products, this created quiet a stir for the folks at Ice Milk Aprons.  The good news is that they are now able to pre-order those aprons that have recently been on back-order.

I LOVE aprons!  I wish that someone out there would start the trend of wearing outside the kitchen!  These are certainly cute enough, don’t you think?

You’ve got to check out their adorable site!

Do you like aprons?  Does anyone else love aprons, but doesn’t really like to cook, like me?  Who has a kitchen drawer full?  I do!

So far, the turquoise finial is getting the most love.  If you haven’t left a comment here, you’re missing your opportunity to get any Hillary Thomas finial that your little heart desires!  You can see the entire collection here.

There are only two days left to leave a comment!  Can’t wait to hear which is your fav!
