Fabric Store Love

This past month my dear husband took me out on a little adventure/get away out to Columbus. I admit, I haven't done a lot of exploring in the city actually I am embarrassed to say that I can count on one hand how many times I have been there. I have heard a few things about this little fabric shop downtown and have been dreaming about going to check it out ever since. The shop is called "Sew To Speak." What a surprise to find that my husband planned a trip out to the shop. Even helped me pick out some lovely fabric for some future aprons. I can't say many husbands are as cool as that! Even though it is small, the shop lived up to my expectations! Good things do come in small packages!! I will be going back!

I could have spent all day looking through sewing books, patterns and admiring all of the beautiful fabrics. The endless things I would make with all of the fabric goodness!! Here are a few samples of the fabrics I purchased:

If you are ever in the Columbus area, you should stop in! It will not disappoint! Here is a link: Sew to Speak

They also have some amazing fabric listed in their online shop!

It's as Texas as Lone Star and Dr. Pepper!

So while we were on the road from Dallas to San Antonio, Tom gets a big grin on his face and states that we were going to take a pit stop. Waco Texas is very ummm,....quaint, to say the least. Not a whole lot going on. We pulled into a parking lot next to a very old building and Tom exclaims,..."Today we are going to visit the Dr. Pepper Museum." Didn't even know there was such a thing. Did you? I was pleasantly surprised,..it was actually kinda cool! Who knew? Here are a few pictures:

Dr. Pepper was invited in the 1880's by Charles Alderton.
Dr. Pepper is NOT a Cola! It's actually a soft drink with 23 flavors.





Dr. Pepper through the years! Super cute!

This horse was made with thousands of Dr. Pepper bottle caps!

At the end of our visit Liam and I shared a Dr. Pepper float at the old fashioned soda fountain!
If you ever make it out to Texas,..why not take a pit stop at the Dr. Pepper Museum!

God Bless Texas

In April, my little family took a trip to Texas yet again. This was the final trip to see our son's doctor. (At least for now) We spent some time in Dallas, Austin and San Antonio. We had an amazing time! Here are a few photo's of one of our fun dinners out in San Antonio,....we met up with a friend of ours who just so happened to work downtown. We miss you Katie! So glad we had a chance to catch up!

Texas Treat - Hey Cupcake

What a wonderful trip we had to Texas. It was now our third time visiting this beautiful, massive, hot state. While visiting, I requested we check out "Hey Cupcake" in Austin. Of course my husband was glad to go for a little off route adventure. (Especially since it ended in a yummy treat) We were not disappointed!

Yummy cupcakes! I wanted to try them all!

Of course we got a "whipper snapper" (An infusion of fresh whipped cream injected in the center of your cupcake) Yes please!

Liam loved it!

Next trip we want to make sure we buy a pie at "Cutie Pie". When we arrived, they had already sold out for the day. These guys were featured in Martha Stewart's magazine as one of the top spots to visit in the South.
