Just a lil' update on the wild banshees // Dax, Driscoe, & Mo

Last week they had their very first soccer practice......

Dax is already making faces at the coach while Driscoe eggs him on......

After their long week of playtime and soccer they decided to go to Tiki to do some fishing with Uncle Joe and eat some crawfish at Uncle Barry's......

They hung out with Beau Teare, he's a wild one!

Watched their favorite movie, School of Rock

Partied in mommy's car.......

Ran around the pool like Wild Indians.....

Then stole Papa's hats and ran around the house like Wild Indians.......

Then they hit up Shipley's Donuts to refuel.....

Driscoe tried to roll his tongue....

He was unsuccessful.

Then they spent Sunday pondering their wonderful week and weekend.
And that's about it. 

These 3 boys are thick as thieves....I can't wait to see how baby boy # 4 fits in.
He is doing just fine btw, kicking up a storm in mama's belly, hopefully preparing himself for this wild crew.

Love, bohoBlack

High Burlesque // 002 Magazine // The Moonlight Dolls

Dear 002 Magazine,

CoCo La Rouge overlooking the new venue. Holy chandelier!

You are hip. You are current. And you are pretty f'ing cool. 

This past week Houston's 002 Magazine featured The Moonlight Dolls in their April issue. After a full day of shooting around The Moonlight Dolls Studio and the new Prohibition, the team at 002 pulled together a beautiful editorial that truly showcases everything we are trying to achieve at our new location in downtown Houston. 

It is so nice to see The Moonlight Dolls in this light. They are already beautiful women but, more than that, they are extremely talented performers that deserve the recognition. And let's not forget about the costuming. God bless the quiet and creative Lian Pham (who is also managing partner of Prohibition). She is constantly bringing new ideas to the table for The Dolls' costumes. And I know her...she's up all night rocking a crying 8-month old while sewing ostrich feathers onto the girls' bustles. To all you working  mommies out there... I really have no words. You're all my heroes. 

Since construction of the new venue is still underway, we decided to hold 'Pop-Up Burlesque' shows in The Moonlight Dolls Studio, which is just next door to Prohibition. Hugging the corner of Main and Prairie, The Moonlight Dolls Studio is prime real estate. I pinch myself when I go outside and see where we are located. Sure there are parts of downtown Houston that still need some work, but for the most part, downtown H-Town is poppin'! It will just be a matter of time before we are all fighting for a spot on the Metro rail so be sure to get your passes in order! 

If y'all would like to see some beautiful burlesque performances from The Moonlight Dolls, you can purchase a table and/or bottle service at Studio 1000. And YES, we renamed the MLD Studio "Studio 1000" for these shows. Don't act like it doesn't excite you! The shows are running every Saturday evening until the new place opens up. They are elegant, intimate and classy burlesque performances. If you'd like to come, message me on Facebook and I will personally set you up. How you like that for customer service?!?!?

Cheers, Houston! We LOVE you! 

In HTown, Burlesque and 002 We Trust,

Low Muscle Tone + Mo = More Prayers/Less Google

Two weeks ago at Mo's 18 month check-up his pediatrician threw us a pretty big curve ball.  He is not walking and I assumed that "all babies do things on their own and its no rush, blah blah blah."  Well guess what, at 18 months if your baby hasn't decided to walk on their own, shit gets real.  She told us that he displays the signs of having Low Muscle Tone (Sits in a "W", not walking, mouth always open, very flexible, tires easily).  He would need to see a physical therapist and then a neurologist at Texas Children's.  After she said the N word, I don't think I heard anything else.  Jason asked some good questions, I don't know what they were.  

I read something this weekend on a list of 50 Healthy Habits Every Girl Should Have.  Number 50 was NEVER let Google diagnose you.  The past two weeks I have failed at that miserably, and even worse I have been letting Google diagnose my son!!  My perfect, sweet, hilarious son.  Is something going on that might be keeping him from walking?  Possibly, but my gosh the state of funk I have allowed myself to be in because of the internet has been ridiculous.  I'm laying off the webMD and putting that focus into more prayers for Mo.  In two weeks he is already walking and standing more, it's like he just needed to be asked to do it (Or it could be the egg whites our nanny is rubbing on his legs everyday).  He is going to physical therapy twice a week and seems to really enjoy it.  He had a blood test done on Thursday, has an MRI scheduled for mid April and sees the Neurologist end of May.  It's all really scary and this nagging worry that it could be something causing this, or absolutely nothing and he just needs extra help to get moving along.  Either way, it's something that is on my mind 24/7 and its hard to write about anything else.  Any prayers and good vibes sent his way are appreciated.  And if anyone knows or has babies who were low muscle tone I am totally open to hearing about your experiences with diagnosis, treatment, etc.  Just no more generalized, scary websites for this lil momma.

Standing more than sitting lately. 

Working on balance at therapy.

Then some ab work.

Some more crunches….look at that determination.

And he’s out!!!  Resting for……

NEXT TIME!!!!

Italy rubbed oFF ON SISTER, bohoK.day fell in love

With..... {Campari & Soda} 

No, No, No Italian Stallion yet- but we are definitely still looking for her perfect bohoMAN!  And as her FAVORITE big Sister, I am allowed to pimp her out.  Any-who, let me show you how to really win her heart.  >-------->

First, you need to know how to make a Good Campari & Soda or know where to take her to get one!  

This love affair may have begun in Italy after popping too many of these little puppies…

Campari and Soda

Ingredients:
Campari
Fever Tree Soda
Orange wheel for garnish
Ice
High ball glass

{Mix 2 parts Campari and 1 part Soda in a tall glass with crushed ice. Stir & Garnish with an orange wheel}

Grant first introduced me to these a couple of years ago and I almost threw up!  It is definitely an acquired taste for some...so don't be surprised if your first thought after a sip is COUGH SYRUP.  You too will eventually love, as for bohok.day, she fell in love inside a small bustling cafe in Italy.  It's so European :)  

*Note* If you order a Capari & Soda in Paris be careful not to get lemonade with it.  Ask for eau gaze use - A sweet Parisian gentlemen sitting next to us at a brasserie shared this little tip. 

Our favorite "Campari Time" was in Rome at a restaurant called, Dilla.  So please remember Mr. bohoMAN, whomever you are - She prefers to drink them on a small terrace in Southern Italy.  

History 

Designed to waken the senses and develop the appetite, the apéritif encompases a wide variety of wines, spirits and liqueuers, usually accompanied by some light snacks.

CHEERS BIG EARS!

spring breakalicious

This Spring Break was my favorite.  I spent most of the week in Galveston with Izzy and our combined 4 boys - all under the age of 3.  Chaos, tantrums, shitty diapers, beer, fishing poles, ninja chops, kites, rattle snakes, more laughter than tears and some sun burns pretty much sums it up.  Jacy came for a night with her 2 babies, cooked us an over the top dinner and got Dax to eat more veggies in one night than he eats in a week.  My Dad came for a day and took us all fishing, we didn't catch a thing and no one fell off the dock - success.   

We went to Freeport on our way home and my fishing obsessed Dax got his first big catch!  In total he caught 5 ten-inch piggy perch, and has told anyone and everyone that he caught 7 BIIIIIG FISH!!  Apparently inflated fishing stories start young!  We got back to the big city, took the babes on a convertible ride and spent the rest of the day contemplating buying an old loud car.  They've never fallen asleep so fast!!  It was a great week.

Love,
bohoSarah

Boy or Girl?! We found out!!!!

It's a boy!!!! 

I'm 19 weeks, I'm finally starting to show and I felt the first flutters of this baby boy's movements 2 weeks ago! How sweet it is!

I was SO anxious to find out what we were having that a family member may have snuck me into a hospital to get an ultrasound. It's funny though, as much as I wanted to know I really just wanted to see the heartbeat. When she started the ultra sound the very first thing to pop on the screen was his weiner, and I remember thinking, 'I knew it, now find the heartbeat!' Once we saw it I relaxed and immediately texted the family that boys are officially taking over. My dad's response: "Praise God! We're gonna need a bigger boat." I had a feeling all along that it would be a boy! I'm so happy Driscoe is getting a little brother, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared at the thought of more WILD boys destroying my house. There is gonna be a lot of vino in my future, just sayin.

The second trimester has been so much better though, I have energy, and I think I'm less cranky. I guess some could say otherwise, but surely they aren't dumb enough to do that. Size wise I'm in that weird 'tweener' stage, as I like to call it. I'm not showing enough to wear maternity clothes, but I'm showing enough that my normal clothes are getting a lil too snug. Basically I have what looks like a beer gut. I've been doing the pony tail holder trick on my jeans to give my beer gut some breathing room, but I know eventually my legs will catch up to my gut and all my jeans will be out the window. Until then I'm rockin' those bad boys and trying not to look like stuffed sausage, it ain't easy.

I have been hitting the gym though, and by hitting the gym I mean I've gone 4x. I walk on an incline of 10-12 for a mile then do squats, lunges, curls, and shoulder exercises. With Driscoe I swam and practiced yoga the entire pregnancy, two workouts I do not have the time to do anymore, unfortunately. So this pregnancy I'm sticking to legs and arms and short walks because quite frankly I don't want to work out to begin with, so I gotta keep it short and sweet. I found this website today with some great leg workouts and did a few at the gym, my legs were BURNING. Check them out here.

Anyways, that's all I have for right now! I'll leave you with the sweetest voice singing his heart out to his best friend, oh and if anyone has some great boy names, TELL US!

love,
