Bottle Vases
I was so excited when my friend, Katherine, shared this fantastic idea for flowers! She and her young daughter took white spray paint and thoroughly coated each of the glass bottles they were planning to recycle and gave them a new purpose. The result is so stylish and dramatic. Thanks for sharing Katherine!
Back to School Checklist
I love Mom Adgenda Products. I have spoken about them before on the Gene & Julie Show but I always follow their new items and keep an eye out for things that might be helpful. They often offer free downloadable checklists and worksheets and they are fantastic! The latest free help sheet they have created is a fantastic Back To School Checklist. I also love their Goal Sheets and helpful Holiday Lists.
I also love their School Years Portfolios. They are fantastic journals to keep photographs, write down memories, and record your childs height, weight and other details. There is a space to store a report card, a few art or project samples and some writing samples. It is the perfect book to hold everything you need to keep for an entire school career! It comes in Aqua, Sage and Rose. The owner and founder of MomAdgenda says that if her house ever catches on fire, the School Years Portfolios are the first thing she will grab!

Summer Style
I love hanging out at our summer house in Canada. This is where I do most of my writing for my book projects and I am now trying to finish up my next book on weddings before the September 1st deadline. Wish me luck!
The high here this week is 75! It sure beats Dallas' 100+ degree summer! Here are some of my favorite simple summer style tips:
-Wear a big hat! I used to blow off sunscreen and hats but I started getting sun spots on my face and arms a few years ago. Now I won't go outside with out a wide brim!
-I put on a Roberta Roller Rabbit Kurta almost every day when I am here. I don't know why I bother to pack anything else! I throw on a pair of white jeans under and wear it as a top for dinner.
-I always wear big shades because I love the way they look. These square sunglasses by Chloe are the perfect shape for my round face and I have managed to hang on to them for several years now!
-I wear my Jack Rogers Sandals almost every day in the summer. I've been a fan for years but I am even more loyal since they made a donation to the North Texas Food Bank Campaign I am co-chairing!
-I always wear a big heavy cable-knit sweater on the plane. I like the loose kind I can zip or tie around my waist.
