Baby Names: What Were You Going to be Named or How Did You Decide On a Baby Name?

We're having a baby! Announcement by top Houston lifestyle blogger Ashley Rose of Sugar and Cloth

You guys, who knew naming a human was so much pressure?! Jared and I still haven’t officially decided on a name for baby girl, and I thought reading through my friend Kelly’s post on how people got their names was SO interesting.

I’m not going to lie, I also read through her comments to try and jack cool names from people, haha! Call me shameless…

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl

Savory Oatmeal Breakfast Bowl by Ashley Rose of Sugar & Cloth, a top lifestyle blog in Houston, Texas

Ready to up your breakfast game? Try this savory oatmeal breakfast bowl, a unique twist on the traditional version. While this recipe is perfect for breakfast or brunch, I, Alex, find myself making it most often on busy weeknights; when I need something healthy and hearty and am short on time. 

I’ve included directions for one bowl, but to maximize prep time, consider making the ingredients in bulk. The herbed tahini sauce will give you more than you need,

My Second Trimester Pregnancy Update + Some Questions for You!

My Second Trimester Pregnancy Update + Some Questions for You! by top Houston lifestyle blogger Ashley Rose of Sugar and Cloth

An alternate title for this post would be “me becoming a pregnant troll”, but I wasn’t sure if that was too broad or not. Instead, I kept it simple with Second-Trimester Pregnancy Update. I even joked with a friend recently that I was going to go as a troll for Halloween and just dress like my pregnant self, which explains everything in a nutshell.

The Weekly Edit + Our Quick Weekend Trip

The Weekly Edit + Our Quick Weekend Trip

Hello, from Los Angeles! We’re here for a quick wedding weekend trip, and the weather is currently AMAZING. Sometimes I wonder why I don’t live here, but then I remember that I’m not cut out for the 24/7 hustle and bustle. I also don’t think I could handle being even further from all of my East coast family. Maybe someday!

We don’t have too many plans for our trip here since we head back Sunday, but I think we may make a trip to Malibu for the first time since we’re staying in Santa Monica this go around.

Colorful DIY Door Handle Tassels

DIY Decorative Door Handle Tassels by Ashley Rose of Sugar & Cloth, a top lifestyle blog in Houston, Texas

CAMEL SWAG: a.k.a. tassels, poms and other adornments used exactly the way the name implies: to decorate camels during times of celebration in India. I, Erin, enamored by the color mayhem finding its way into interior design, couldn’t help but interpret the trend through these oversized colorful DIY door handle tassels.

They’re perfect for hanging on door handles around the house for an added boost of color and texture. The typically labor intensive tassel-making process (there’s a reason they’re so expensive!),
