Talk about fun! The girls at The Hollywood Ranch have created some really fun items to dress your little spunky cowpokes in. We've picked out some of our favorites but there are many other cute items available online...and if you live in or near Dallas you can visit them at one of their upcoming shows and see some of their other designs that aren't featured on their website!

Melt chocolate chips in the microwave, one minute, then in 20 second increments, stirring until smooth. Before melting, seperate the white chips into two bowls. After melting, add a few drops of red food coloring to one of the bowls of white chips to make pink chocolate.
Dip cookie pops in the melted chips, covering completely. Roll pops in red and white sprinkles and lay or stand on waxed paper or paper plates. Place in refrigerator to chill.
Decorate as you wish with the remaining items! ENJOY!
Not sure what to do this year for the summertime family vacation? Check out this book, "500 Places To Take Your Kids Before They Grow Up", by Holly Hughes. It's a nifty little book that as the title states has 500 neat places that appeal to kidos and those young at heart. Each of the 500 entries (places) has age ratings, nearby kid-friendly and fun hotels, as well as service details about the place. The book is even equipped with two indexes to make planning your next trip a snap - a geographical index (could be useful if you're vising Great Aunt Louise in Montana but want to make the trip up there fun for the kids) as well as a specialty index (good for types of trip - like amusement park or camping or museum or beach or mountain). The book retails for $19.99 on Frommers.com --- but you can get it for $12.77 at Wal-mart.
We recently ran across this amazing tree house in a magazine and just had to share it with you all. Seriously, what kid wouldn't have a blast in this tree house that comes with it's own real tree?!?! The maker of these awesome tree houses has several other designs as well. We're not sure how much this treehouse costs - but here is the website if you want to take a peek.

WOW! That's all we can say for Angelica Grace Designs, AGD! This haute couture boutique was launched in 2005 by Angie Seaman through God's grace! You can read her story here.
