I love Target

I think pretty much everyone thinks Target is awesome. I've yet to come across someone who has said she hates it. I literally can spend hours in that place. So, mom and I went yesterday, and spent -- you guessed it -- more than an hour! I purchased a new skincare regimen, party supplies for my Superbowl Party (more on that soon), and decorative pillows!

Now being part-owner of an awesome little home decor and accessories shop that is known for carrying unique items, I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I found decorative pillows for my living room at Target, but just look at them ... aren't they cute?!?!

I didn't bother trying to "clean up the sofa" ... so the dogs and their toys made it into the photo as well.

And my favorites ...

The bird pillows are from Dwell Studio's, line specifically for Target, so no wonder I like them so much ...

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I also purchased some items for our Superbowl Party this weekend. Here's a picture of all those goodies :)

This is the first party we've thrown since moving down here, so I'm very excited. And I've never thrown a Superbowl party ever. So I'm going a little overboard ... I got the cute plates and cups and a matching tablecloth. Then I got some cute gel window clings that say things like "Touchdown" and have helmets and stuff. They were all out of the coordinating napkins so I had to get those striped ones. But all-in-all I'm proud of the purchases.

More later! Xoxo,

We took a trip to Target this afternoon (my favorite place). I wanted to get some picture frames, and Allen wanted "toys, pease."

After we picked out all of my picture frames (I have like a million pictures to frame), we headed over to the toy department to see if we could add to Allen's Cars car collection. And of course, we did. Tonight, he added "Chick" to his posse.

While Daddy and Allen checked out the cars, Mommy wandered the rest of aisles to see if there were any other toys that Allen needed. As she walked by the riding toys, she saw something that Allen HAD TO HAVE! A Lightning McQueen tricycle. It was so cool. It has buttons (Allen loves those). It makes noise (Allen loves that). It lights up (he loves that too). So I ran back to Daddy and conferred with him briefly before we took Allen to check it out. Allen's face lit up right away "Keen!" he said. We asked him if he would like to have a trike that he can ride like Mommy and Daddy ride their bikes. "Yes!" he said.

So we loaded it into our cart and went off to find him a helmet to wear with it.

Here he is trying it out tonight ...

The helmet and pads are Sesame Street. Don't you love the elbow and knee pads?

XOXO to all!
