I was never into dogs wearing clothes, until I came across these fun and stylish outfits. I couldn’t resist getting them for my parents’ dogs.

Coco is stylin’ in a purple and gray striped hoodie and Snowy in a lavender “I’m not as dumb as you look” tee.

Hunny calls Snowy dumb because I think he’s secretly bitter about her always pooping right in front of his Xbox, so I got her the tee so she could fight back.

Outfits are from Boots & Barkley for Target. And if you’re a football fan, you can have your pup sport a cute NFL jersey.

For children, it’s Disneyland. For statistics, it’s Denmark. For me, the happiest place on earth is none other than Target. Or some of us like to call it Tar jé with a French accent, soft ’j’.

I’ve been frequenting this wonderful establishment ever since I was in high school about fifteen years ago, and it just keeps getting better and better. Maybe it’s their right on bullseye logo or their awesome marketing seen and heard all over or the fact that they are a one-stop shop that keeps me going back. Whatever the reason, I always come out with more stuff than I had planned. I’m not exactly proud of this, but Hunny sent me a graph [below] from a new finance software he’s using [more on that later] that showed my spending vs. the US average. Eek. At least I know that I’m making a greater impact to the communities.

Fact: When it first opened its doors in 1962, Target made a commitment to give five percent of their income to different communities.

All my friends used to know me as the biggest Target-lover, but I’m beginning to think that there are more of you out there. Go ahead, share your Target stories. No one will judge, especially not me.

“The adventure of life is to learn.
The goal of life is to grow.
The nature of life is to change.
The challenge of life is to overcome.
The essence of life is to care.
The secret of life is to dare.
The beauty of life is to give.
The joy of life is to love.”

- William Arthur Ward

No more guesstimating on when the eggs are done with the Egg-Perfect Egg Timer. 

“Simply place in water with eggs. Graduated scales show when eggs are soft, medium or hard by sensing heat instead of time. The sensor accounts for the amount of water, even the altitude at which the eggs are being cooked. Per’fect eggs… every time.”

The advancements in technology.

Making deviled eggs just got simpler!

When we got married four and a half years ago and got a home of our own, I started the biggest hunt for the perfect doormat. It’s one of the first impressions before entering a home, so loving all things design, I knew it had to be special. To my dismay, I looked far and wide and came up with nothing. I never gave up and finally found a damask one a little over a year ago at my favorite store, Target!

I spotted a cute one at Cost Plus World Market the other day for the cherry blossom lovers out there.

Now doormat makers are catching on that the people want fun and stylish doormats! You can find other cool ones at Ballard Designs or CoolStuffCheap or Chiasso. If it wasn’t silly, I would actually buy different mats to have out at different times, but maybe that’s going a little too far?

Just got back from San Francisco for a commercial project. We started and ended our trip with IN-N-OUT. Yum! Hunny says I’m a traitor because I favor it over Seattle’s Dick’s.

The best part of the experience is seeing the Word.

I was so excited when my favorite magazine, Real Simple announced that they were coming out with Real Simple Weddings! I could open up a store with the expansive wedding magazine collection I have, but I don’t know if I can get myself to drop a whoppin’ $12.95+tax to add this one to my library.

The first ‘Real Wedding’ featured in the magazine is in our neck of the woods for us Seattleites, sort of. Victorian Valley Chapel is smack dab in the middle of nowhere on Orcas Island. This would be perfect for a couple in Seattle who wants somewhat of a destination feel without the high price tag. Also perfect for anyone who wants to get married in the cutest little chapel. We encourage future GH Kim Photography clients to check it out. :)

My Hunny is always finding ways to make my life easier so he got me an iPhone. I was wondering what all the hoopla around the iPhone was about, and now I know! Absolutely love it!

iGrace will be sharing pic[k]s on this site.

The first pic is of the gifter himself showing that he rocked the vote this past week!
