When you live downtown…Living downtown means great shops are only minutes away! One of my favorite places in Waco is Bloom & Bee Swanky. It’s beautiful inside. And it smells incredible too!
What are you looking for?You can probably find it here! Bloom & Bee Swanky is more than an antique store… their website describes it as “an ensemble of unexpected finds.” The store is full of unique antique items that are displayed in an amazing way.
I first went there a couple of years ago when I was shopping for tea cups for my daughter’s birthday party. It was a dress up party that included real tea from real tea cups! The tea didn’t go over very well, but the girls loved picking their own pretty cup. Each one was different! But that’s not all!I didn’t just find fun tea cups… I came home with a beautiful silver tea pot, a cream & sugar set, and a tray. My daughter loved them! They looked so fancy.
The finds just keep comingI stopped in again this week to see what they had inside. It’s always different! I was looking for something fun to house one of my favorite plants. I found what I was looking for… but I’ll wait to show it to you until I’m finished potting the plant

When you live downtown… One of the greatest benefits to living in downtown Waco is access to bike paths and the river! I’ve written before about the loop along the river and how much we love it.

Have you been to Oso’s? A big part of life with kids is ICE CREAM. Around here, it’s practically a daily ritual. This past Christmas we bought an ice cream maker and have had lots of fun creating our own flavors, but so far we’ve only mastered the not-quite-as-healthy-as-you’d-like varieties! Thank goodness we can walk [...] Mar 24
It’s so weird… We had been talking about going for a bike ride all day today, and even had plans to check out a used bike trailer tonight for the baby… and then we were playing in the back yard and saw a bunch of bikes wizz by in a race! Wow! This was our [...] Mar 9
Finally! A night out! Without the kids! Doesn’t happen often! We met with our amazing friends Matt & Sarah Hess and enjoyed dinner downtown. Sarah is the talented photographer behind Fleeting Moments Photography, and Matt is the Executive Director at The World Hunger Farm. Where to go? So where did we choose to spend our precious [...] Mar 3
Austin Ave. treasures! I love Austin Ave.! I find new things there all the time! While driving and poking around, I spotted a sales rack outside of Melange Boutique. I’d never been inside before, and I’m a sucker for a killer sales rack, so I parked immediately to check it out! And surprises! Turns out [...] Mar 2
They’re here! Breakfast burritos have arrived at Lula Jane’s! We walk to Lula Jane’s for breakfast most Saturday mornings, but we hadn’t been there for a while because the Thebaults have been SICK. Our first winter with 4 kids has been an adventure! Anyhoo, when we finally made it back to LJ’s we were excited [...] |
