Online Dating Tips From My Sis

Posted in: Baby, Family & Friends

First off, today is Zach’s 6 month birthday! We celebrated by going to the pediatrician for his 6 month wellness visit.

Stats:

weight: 18.8 lbs. of pure sugar (50-75th%)

look at those rosey cheeks!

Length: 26 3/4″ long (25-50%)

Head circumference: 17 3/4 (75-90%)

We celebrated Zach’s big day by eating some cereal and bananas today!

As you can see my kid LOVES his food. Are you really surprised?

In other fun news, we’re flying up to CT this weekend and staying through next week. I’m excited for my family and friends to see Zach. Late next week, I’m driving down to PA to visit my besties and check up on our house. In the market for a new house?

I miss everyone SO much! Speaking of family- my sister is so ~~desperate to find a man~~ talented, she went out and got herself a little newspaper column. Her first topic is online dating. Thank Gawd I never had to experience that madness. Y’all are brave souls putting yourselves out there like that. I say this only because Lindsay has told me about her nightmare dates. Creepers!! I can’t even imagine.

Okay, off to make dinner and snuggle with my big 6 month old.

Byeee!

Decorating Dilemma

Posted in: Everything Else, Family & Friends, Food

Hiii!

I woke up with a wicked sore throat. This SUCKS. Although I feel like crap, I’m toughing it out and ~~not going to the 11:30 spinning class~~. Another reason I’m feeling blah?? I ate like a loaf of fruit bread before bed last night. Yup, that’ll do it. Damn you fruit bread!! It was good enough to NOT throw out.

Tomorrow I have to go to Homegoods. I need some decorating ideas and inspiration.

What should I get to go in this space? I was thinking of a round table with some kind of extravagant floral arrangement. I had an interior decorator come over last week and she thought a curved bench or table in this area would look nice. Hmm. I should spend some time on pinterest. Are you following me? Seach lisapaigeNOW. Warning: I’m a newbie and my boards aren’t that impressive.

I should watch some more HGTV. Perhaps a little “Donna Decorates Dallas?”

Lilies are pretty (these are lilies right?) Unfortunately the smell is killing me. Maybe it’s because I bought two bunches? Double the flowers, double the oder. They look pretty though.

Tonight we’re going out with some friends to dinner at Sambuca. Should be fun.

One thing that never gets old is loving on our little Zach Attack. He’s the BEST.

What are you doing today?

Embracing Our New City

Posted in: Entertainment, Family & Friends

Who says parents can’t be out til 1am??? Last night, we ~~Zach’s mommy~~ got crazzzzy. Lemme tell ya, as ~~the only~~ a sober person, I’m one fun chick :0) Who needs to be wasted tin order to have a good time??

Last night involved good food, great friends and some dirty dancin’ (rawr…)

I’m seriously IN LOVE with Dallas.

my Dallas bestie, Cynthia.

We met up with Cynthia, her bf Steve, Stu’s co-worker Sarah and her fiance James at Kenichi at Victory Park for an AHHH-MAZING sushi dinner. I’ve never tasted sushi so fresh in my life. After our fish feast, we walked next door to the W Hotel’s Ghost bar to get our dougie on.

And I we got down and dirty. It was FUN!

who's this dude trying to pick me up?

stare down

Sarah, Steve, Cynth and mwahhh

oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

we're a force to be reckon with on the dance floor.

I'm so happy Sarah and James moved down here too

We had the best time. I drank a glass of wine (Riesling, of course) before dinner, and a vodka w/ pineapple juice at the club- that was enough for me. We (as in me, Sarah and Cynth) danced non-stop for two solid hours. We were sticky and sweaty by the time we left the club. Glad I got that nice blow out earlier in the day.

Stu and I have always said that even with kids, we’d always make it a point to go out alone. Date nights are essential, especially when you become a parent. We book our sitters way in advance so we can have a date night at least once a month. It gives us something to look forward to. And ya know what? We don’t feel guilty leaving Zach at home. Not one bit. You’re allowed to go out for a night, have a kick-ass time and not worry about your kid. It felt GREAT to unwind and let loose, get dressed up and do my hair and make-up.

Our next date night is a Mavs Game (VS the LA Lakers) next month. That’ll be FUN. Hope I see Khloe Kardashian there, haha.

I love Koko’s tee, unfortunately it’s a men’s shirt. Damn.

Instead I bought this green one. I’m such a devoted fan :0)

Do you go on date nights? What do you do? Where do you go?

What would be the perfect date 86 the kids?

The Perfect Day.

Posted in: Baby, Family & Friends

Today we took Z to the Children’s aquarium. What an adventure that was! Yes, he’s only 5 months (almost) old, and yes, we were the only one’s with a child under the age 2, but we didn’t care. It was the perfect day. Just me and my little family.

my little peanut

My heart is filled with LOVE when I look at this photo.

After our trip to the aquarium, we went to Chocolate Secrets, a quaint little chocolate (duh) and coffee shop on Oak Lawn Ave in Dallas. Stu and I were craving something sweet so this was the most perfect place. We sampled ~~everything~~ a few chocolates and then dove into ~~the chocolate case~~ our treats. Stu got a some exotic chocolates and I settled for a piece of chocolate dipped biscotti aside a latte. Twas delish. I would definitely go back there again. Mark my words.

Tonight we hung home and ordered din from The Cheesecake Factory which happens to be conveniently located just 3 measly miles from our house. Score. I’m diggin’ their skinnylicious menu. Big fan of the Tuscan chicken. Mmmmm.

Oh, before I forget, big shouts to my momma for getting me these adorb earrings for Christmas. They’re nice, sparkly and always put a big smile on my face whenever I wear them (like today.) Thanks mom!

Tomorrow after church, my friend Cynthia and I are going to World Market. I hear it’s pretty ridonk and I can’t wait to ~~spend money~~ scope it out.

Hope you’re having a great and relaxing weekend.
