History of Hair Bows
I was asked to write a post about hair bows. While thinking about what to write, I realized I did not really know much about the history of bows. So I pulled out my inner school self and did some light research. I was surprised by what I found. So may I enlighten you with […]
Fall Festivities (Part 2)
Last week we had our first false fall of the year here in Waco. I got to walk my dog in the early morning in a sweatshirt. That might not be a big deal to some, but if I could wear a sweatshirt every day for the rest of my life I would. I have […]
Fall Festivities
Fall is an amazing time of the year. We finally get a reprieve from the hot Texas summers. Football and tailgating become our lives on the weekends, leaves change colors, decorations are plentiful, and pumpkin spiced things are finally acceptable to eat or drink.

What is a Boutique?
