Jack & Daddy Day

At least twice a month Jack and his Dad head out at 9am for the Dallas Zoo. The new section "Giants of the Savanna" is amazing. They can hang out in this section for hours. And then they always top off their trip by having lunch with the lions.  The zoo has designed the restaurant in the Savanna with a glass wall adjacent to the lion's den.  It is shaded there so the lions naturally gather here to sleep. Jack sits on the floor against the glass and the only thing separating him from the lion is the glass - literally. It looks like he practically holding hands with a lion. Fabulous guy time for Jack & his partner in crime.

Jack's 1st Photo Shoot

Jack had his 1st Photo Shoot with a friend of mine, Jen Hughes.  It was absolutely fantastic. His pictures turned out just perfect. I think this one says it all. If you have a crazy little guy or gal who won't sit still like me, don't think its not time for pictures. Jen was able to run all over with Jack, entertain him just enough and take "real' pictures - nothing posed - which are my favorite kind.  This one makes my heart melt.

Grimaldi's again!

Birthday time again!  I have mentioned it before, but Grimaldi's Pizzeria, West Village offers a free large pizza (sign up online) for their birthday club. Totally worth it -fabulous New York style pizza and great wine.  But most importantly, they are totally kid friendly and I can enjoy a glass of wine while my little guy plays with the big ball of pizza dough they bring him to keep him busy.  He loves it!  He is 2 and it is like playdough to him. Wine, pizza, happy kiddo! Kudos to our server - he was quick and took a moment to talk to Jack, which always makes him feel a part of the evening!

Living for Two: A little inspiration

Living for Two: A little inspiration: "This little doll has me yearning for Burberry. She is so simple and chic, and just a little bit shy. Notice the bubble wand...what a perfe..." If I only had a girl! But I feel the same -I want a trench coat. Just love it!
