This week was a bit of a whirlwind – in a good way – but we just got back to San Diego and are little exhausted, so T.G.I.F.! I’d like to give a big shout-out to everyone that attended our Hip Hostess Halloween event in Dallas last night – you guys were so much FUN! [...]
Candlelight is a great way to create both a spooky and festive ambiance to any Halloween party.

These cute little ghost pops remind me of something [...]

I feel like I great advice from people all the time – but I wish I was better at implementing it! A while back, blogging guru Grace Bonney from design*sponge (just a wee little blog… perhaps you’ve heard of it? *wink*) suggested that I start doing a “weekly wrap-up” post on Fridays so that readers [...]
