HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Dempsey!! Oh my goodne HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our sweet Dempsey!! Oh my goodness we love this kiddo so much! He’s laid back, loving, curious, wild, smart, so super silly, tough, and just all around PRECIOUS. I thank God daily for allowing me to live life with this angel baby! He makes us laugh and makes us answer millions of questions. He loves Minecraft and math/numbers and donuts and baseball and his friends. He fights most with his sister, but has a big brother to stick up for him so it works out really well 😆 He’s loving the fact that until 12:39 today he’s still six, but then he’ll turn seven 😆 #sixseven Demps, THANK YOU for being YOU! We love how God created you and are so thankful that you’re confident and kind and just all around a lovely kid. HAPPY SEVENTH BIRTHDAY!!

Join us for an ear piercing at @heyrowan in @highl Join us for an ear piercing at @heyrowan in @highlandvillagejxn! Lily gal and I had a girly little date to get her ears pierced at the brand new, super cool piercing shop located right off the courtyard at Highland Village. Not only do we love the name of this shop (my niece’s name is Rowan!) but we were SUPER impressed with the customer service and the cleanliness! When you get your ears pierced at Rowan, it’s being done by a registered nurse who takes EVERY precaution possible! Example: after they use a pen to dot where on your earlobes the piercings will be, you get to keep the pen so your ear germs don’t get on anyone else else’s ears, and vice versa! (We love our new pen! 😆) On our visit, we actually had a scenario where they looked at the thickness of Lily Ryan‘s earlobe and were able to advise her as to which styles of earrings would work best for her based on thickness. That is not something I have ever experienced at an ear piercing! 😆 (Nutshell back story: this is our third attempt at ear piercing! We have dealt with some STUFF in the past and, I am happy to report after one week in, we have had no stuff to deal with this time!) So thankful! Thank you, Rowan, for making my girl feel at ease, giving her what I am confident is her best piercing ever, and for just being all around incredible! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ highly recommend!! #brandpartner #gifted
I was in Fondren last week and stumbled upon the c I was in Fondren last week and stumbled upon the coolest bakery + coffee shop in Duling Hall! It is called Just Vanilla! I went in and immediately felt like I was somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be. (But, like… in an awesome way… I felt adventurous!) I heard bustle coming from the top of the stairs to my left, so up I went, and there I was greeted by the most heavenly smell of baked goods and fresh coffee. I asked the nice guy who rung me up how long they’d been there and he said TWO YEARS! How have I missed this place for over 700 days?!? Why did none of you tell me about this place?! Hah just kidding- not your fault! BUT I do feel led to tell you about it in case you’ve missed it like I have! Thanks for the great start to one of my days last week, @just.vanilla.bakes. Your place & your stuff are awesome and I can’t wait to go back 🫶
