Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Beauty - Marissa Phillips Instagram

The Return of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders

Source: Marissa Phillips/InstagramI have watched a ton of television since the start of the year while on maternity leave so I was thrilled to learn a second season of DCC was coming and after a long wait it is finally here. Netflix premiered season 2 of their documentary  America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders yesterday and after only a few episodes I still can not get over how glad these girls are. Part of this is due to their glam routines which I am diving into today.Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) have specific beauty and fashion must-haves to maintain their signature look. Key items include hair products like Dyson Airwraps and curling irons, along with hairspray like Kenra Super Hold Finishing Spray for hold. For makeup, they favor products like Charlotte ...

Baby Bear - Henry James 5 Month Update

Henry James Five Month Update

Baby Bear! Another update for my little man and I can not believe how much time is flying. I will tell anyone who will listen that you are the best baby and I could not mean it more true.  This boy is the happiest and smiliest and a pure light in my life.Nicknames:  Big Boy, Little Man, and Baby Henry are the top three. Occasionally I call him "Abu Abu" but Mark does not like it.Firsts:  For our daily walks Henry has been upgrade from Uppababy Bassinet to rumble seat (though with insert). He is now sleeping in his own room (see below) and on Wednesday's we have started weekly swim lessons.  We took Henry to the Zoo for the first time last weekend and while he slept most of the time he enjoyed it.Weight:  I would guess 15-16 pounds though let's see next month at his ...

Caden Lane Country Club Cuties in Naples

Caden Lane Country Club Cuties in Naples, Florida!

How cute are these golf cart print pajamas?! We snapped this photo last month during a sunny family trip to Naples, Florida — and yes, it was taken on a golf cart! The adorable matching sets are from the Caden Lane Country Club Collection, and we couldn’t love them more.A big thank you to Caden Lane for sending these over for Lily and Henry. Lily is wearing the Country Club Cuties Two Piece Pajama Set in Pink  (size 2T), and Henry is in the Country Club Cuties Zipper Footie In Blue (size 3–6 months). The fit is perfect — Caden Lane recommends a snug fit, and these PJs are just right for both of them. One of the reasons we’ve become huge fans of the Caden Lane Country Club pieces is their incredible fabric. Lily occasionally struggles with eczema flare-ups, and we’ve found that bamboo ...

Henry James Four Month Birthday - Baby Monthly Update

Four Months of Henry James

A bit behind on the updates? Yes.  Post dating this one? Yes.  It is true what they say about the second kid but our little Henry James is no less loved, things are just a bit busier.  Mark and I made sure to take these photos on May 5th though, Henry James four month birthday and we got him a new book, like we did with Lily on every month birthday. (We opted for Never Touch a Dinosaur!, a board book picked out on one of our innumerable Target trips). Now a recap for Henry's four month birthday:___Nicknames:  No changes this month though Baby Bear has dropped off a bit with "Baby Henry" likely becoming the most popular as this is almost exclusively how we refer to him with Lily.  She has started to say "baba" meaning baby and Mark and I alternate between his actual name, Big ...
