goodies …

October 3, 2011

thanks to my friend megan’s post, i ran over to my local zurcher’s party store, and picked my up some darling goodie bags. 

i snapped a few photos with my phone, so you could see that they have a pretty nice selection of cute paper bags, striped paper straws, and even a cute selection of bakers twine! (i picked up some black and white twine to add to the collection, i may have every color now, wink) 
i’m sure you can find all of this online on etsy, but sometimes it’s nice to know you can pick some up at the drop of a hat, just because. 

happy monday!!
i’m hoping to share a few pics from our recent trip to california, one of these days..!

califor – ni – A …

we will be headed off to the golden state soon on vacation, and i was hoping to get some tips from my readers.

we are taking the kiddos to disneyland, and sea world and we’ll be staying in l.a. and san diego.  with a few beach days in there.

so, what is your favorite beach to go to with kids in southern california?  i’m hearing good things about laguna beach, and i’ve never been there so we might give it a try.  any other suggestions?

also, any restaurant tips?  disneyland/sea world tips?  please tell me there is an h&m, zara, and west elm in one mall?  (this trip really is for the kids, but i’m hoping to squeeze in a little shopping time, but i’ll be on a time crunch because really the hubs and kids can only take so much)

what other stores should i not want to miss?

any travel tips on driving with three kids under four?  (we’ll be driving from utah, and stay in las vegas on the way)

thanks in advance!  you guys always have the best advice!!

missoni for target …

missioni for target hit stores yesterday.
did you come out with anything fun?

my store had a few things, but you could tell a lot was already gone.  i did come home with this tote bag (pictured above).  i loved some of the blankets and pillows, but didn’t really see any in my store.

 so, what did you think of the line?  i think i’m a little over the whole chevron stripe thing for the most part, or i think i like a little thicker chevron stripes perhaps.
