IHWSH - A Funny Valentine

Happy day after Valentine's Day/Friday/Middle of February!

Our Valentine's Day was full of giggles and coos and diaper rash (sorry, NJ).  She was the sweetest little Valentine despite the rash, and we both got flowers from Henry - my favorite February 14th so far!  Also, the bug had a different Valentine's outfit every day this week...I think that's a sign that I may have a problem.  But it's an adorable problem, so I'm ok with it.

We could all use some laughs this Friday, ammmmmmiright?

My personal motto.

Have so much fun this weekend!

IHWSH - It's Beginning to Look a lot Like...

A little holiday decor love for this week's I'll Have What She's Having. We have holiday decorating in our blood. Remember how our mom puts TWELVE TREES up each year?

Love this wreath and little trees.

Glitter Reindeer

Wrap your doors like gifts.

O Holy Night Calligraphy

IHWSH - Holiday Pringles

Word on the street is that Pringles will be coming out with some holiday flavors in November. While they sound pretty disgusting (And maybe are according to some reviews from early testers - words like "horrible abomination to humanity" were used ... pretty harsh. The best comment may have been "not revolting."). But, we have to try them just to say we did, right? So for this week's "I'll Have What She's Having" we'd like to present...

Pumpkin Pie Spice, Cinnamon Sugar, and White Chocolate Peppermint Pringles.

Important note so that you don't miss one of these limited edition flavors: Apparently the Pumpkin Pie flavor will be found only at Walmart. 

Once you pop you can't stop...

IHWSH - Fall Treats

Hooray for Fall!  We're excited for the cooler temperatures and all the apple-pumpkin-spiced treats we can find.  Below you'll find some things we're thinking about making over the next couple of months - those scarecrow treats need to happen soon.  Our mom loves to put salted peanuts and candy corn in a dish together - pretty sure she "invented" this combo (it tastes like an extra delicious "Payday" candy bar).  Now it looks like someone's created a zert out of her tasty combo!  

Jayne's Picks:

1. Pumpkin Poppers
2. Acorn Donut Holes
3. Scarecrow Treats

Katie's Picks:

1. Pumpkin Pie Bites
2. Caramel Apple Martini
3. Apple-Cranberry Pocket Pies

Enjoy!

IHWSH - KC!

This week's "I'll Have What She's Having" is something we both actually get to have this weekend... Kansas City! Katie, Henry and Nora are coming to visit Dac and I and experience KC for the first time. It's Nora's first flight - this is big time! Here are a few of the things we hope to do in the quick couple of days we have together:

1. The Plaza Art Fair

This was one of my favorite weekends in KC last year, so it's perfect timing for visitors! Local and national artists set up shop in my favorite shopping area, the Country Club Plaza. So not only will Katie get to check out Hall's (an awesome department store owned by Hallmark) and all of the other stores we love, we also get to check out some cool art and food stands from awesome restaurants around the city. 

2. Nelson Atkins Museum

Alright, we probably won't do this one. Nora wouldn't find an art museum very exciting I'm guessing. But we can at least take a pic by the giant shuttlecock! The Nelson is a pretty outstanding museum, and we're lucky to have it here as something awesome and free to do! There is a great new contemporary wing too called the Kemper.

3. Oklahoma Joe's

Duh. This is the best bbq in KC, and Henry is really only interested in a barbeque tour so we have to do this. The Z-man is where it's at. And their fries are legit too. The original location is inside a gas station. Super fancy. Anthony Bourdain named it one of the top 10 places in the world to eat before you die.

4. Eggtc.

This is my new favorite brunch place. Banana-nutella french toast is all you need to know. There are a million other restaurants I want to take them to, like Spin Pizza, Beer Kitchen, Port Fonda, BRGR and Gram&Dunn, but there are only so many meals in two days, so we shall see.

5. Little Freshie and/or Glace

This sweet little shop with delicious snow cones, italian sodas and sweet treats like macarons used to be a food truck in the Crossroads called Fresher than Fresh Snowcones. 

We also of course need to go by the City Market, the awesome farmer's market in our neighborhood. And we get to take them on a tour of our new house too! Could not be more excited for the K, H, N weekend in KC. Here's to many more (I'm going to convince them to move here).

IHWSH - TV

Fall means so many fun things, including new TV.  For this week's "I'll Have What She's Having," we rounded up our all-time favorite TV shows.  We both love watching a show for the first time on DVD - no waiting around for the next episode!  Several other current shows could make the list ("How I Met Your Mother" and "Parenthood" come to mind), but the shows below are the cream of the crop!

Katie's Picks:
1. West Wing
2. Felicity
3. Friends
4. Alias

Jayne's Picks:
5. Sex and the City
6. Friday Night Lights
7. Dawson's Creek
8. Arrested Development

PS: Many of these shows are free to watch on Amazon Instant if you are an Amazon Prime member!

IHWSH - Kendra Scott Earrings

Just a short "I'll Have What She's Having" for the long weekend - we want earrings!  All Kendra Scott jewelry is 20% off over the weekend (use code LDW20).  We each own a pair (or 3) already and wear them all the time!  Our favs are "Danielle":

And "Carly":

But now we also really want to order some "Morgans":

And some "Elles" (smaller version of the "Danielle"):

Which color??!  Happy Labor Day weekend, y'all!

PS:  We were not paid or perked to talk about these earrings...but we wish we were.

IHWSH - Rooms Part Deux

To celebrate Jayne and Dac's new home (woo hoo!) we've each collected a few of our favorite rooms for this week's "I'll Have What She's Having."  Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
