“Whoever said that money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.” – Bo Derek
Shopping in North Texas could be considered cardio, we have so many options: farmer’s markets and home stores, Japanese style dollar stores and even a quaint pink boutique in an historic home. Come with me and I’ll show you my favorite places to lighten my wallet.
One of the best things about summer is the Saturday morning tradition of shopping the local farmers market. If you've never been, a farmers market is (typically) an outdoor, temporary event where local growers come and set up a booth to sell directly to shoppers....
This post is sponsored by Divine Consign. All opinions are my own. "Mom, my toes hurt in these shoes." Ugh. THE WORST WORDS EVER. It's the first chip to fall in the domino effect that means new basketball shoes, new outdoor cleats, new indoor soccer shoes, then new...
Y’all, I know you love your farmhouse décor. Throw in some evolved industrial chic and your heart probably beats a little faster. Well, stop driving to Waco and watching HGTV for inspiration. Frisco has our own little mecca for all of the things. It’s almost like a...
(This post is hosted by Walmart. I was invited for a preview of their new store. All opinions are my own.) I'll be honest, I haven't always been a fan of the Walmart experience. I've always loved their prices, but there was a time when you really had to be ready for...
Texas school is back in session and the biggest thing these kids have on their radar is the start of football season, which means homecoming must be right around the corner. Amen to Friday Night Lights, the new Texas Star and the big mums that are sure to follow. If...
Y’all, I KNOW it is July. I’m know it’s cliché the whole, “Christmas in July” thing… but I refuse to let it sneak up on me this year. (Tell me, how, HOW does it do that EVERY year?!) This year, I am ON IT. Not only am I on it, I am ALL IN for it. And when I say “ALL...
“I can’t wait to meet Joanna Gaines!” says the Cupcake as we’re preparing for our road trip to Fixer-Upper famed Silos at Magnolia Market in Waco. Either I oversold this little journey or she is one of those believe it and make it happen people at a ripe old age of 8....
I'm not even sure how to pronounce it, "DAISO" but I do know how to shop it. And I know the Texas DAISO I visited is enormous. Join me on my shopping tour of the Japanese YEN store DAISO. Mostly known in Japan and the West Coast, this is a video of me visiting the...
Oh gosh. Have you ever been shopping and had that HSGD adrenaline rush (huge sale, great deals)? That’s awesome right!? I had it Tuesday and I'm going to tell you about it. Let me start by asking you if you’ve even been to The Children’s Place lately? I had NOT. My...
Did you know that Dean Fearing, chef of Dallas notable restaurant Fearings in the Ritz Carlton, authored a cookbook. Called The Texas Food Bible, it not only looks gorgeous on any coffee-table worthy, it also causes spontaneous salivation just flipping through the...
I am a sucker for all things shabby chic, vintage, upcycled, boho… you name it. When I learned the LOOT Vintage Market was coming to Market Hall this past weekend, I cleared my calendar to make that shopping event happen. Fueled by Starbucks, the Cupcake and I were...
Ever since I was in high school working my way through summer at the seaside 99cent store, I’ve so loved what you can get for only a dollar. After this weekend, I’ve decided the 100 Yen stores are even better. DAISO, the Japanese bargain store-darling described as...
It’s always fun when family comes to Dallas to visit and we get to introduce them to some of our amazing retail opportunities. This week we have Gran and Grandpa in from Chattanooga and among our list of places to indoctrinate them to is Trader Joe’s. Sadly, their...
The bar for gas stations has just hit the stratosphere. Buc-ee’s has moved into North Texas and we are forever spoilt. They say things are bigger in Texas, and I think the founders of Buc-ee’s took that as a double dare. Massive doesn’t begin to describe the travel...
I’m lucky to live in a state that’s filled with a million miles of places to go – in fact, I barely need to leave North Texas to find the fun! Here are some of my favorite places to share with my family.
