Over the weekend we enjoyed the sunshine and headed out to the Helotes Market Place. It's a monthly festival held at my favorite spot here in San Antonio, the Helotes Antique Village. I am just so enamored with it's charming atmosphere, I could probably go there every day and never get bored. The shop owners are always extremely friendly and warm, not to mention there is a treasure trove of vintage goodies. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend checking it out for yourself. 




 




In other news, in case you didn't catch the post over the weekend Stephen and I got engaged! It's truly an exciting time for our little family and I hope in the coming months I can share more of our journey here on Mama Mermaid. I will continue to talk about going green as a family but also there will be upcoming posts on planning an eco-friendly wedding as well! To my friends and family I thank you for joining us on this adventure. 
I feel very blessed.

Poteet Strawberry Festival

This past weekend was the Poteet Strawberry Festival and we had such a blast with friends. Strawberry wine? Yes please. I was pretty much in love with the birds of prey area. They had all sorts of hawks, a beautiful barn owl and oh yeah, this guy... 

I swear to you, he shot me this look and said "America!" 
Because that is what bald eagles do.


We also tried some yummy strawberry cheesecake & kettle corn. 

Rosie was looking ever so cute in her "strawberry dress" (okay, it has ladybugs on it. Whatever.)

Sharing snacks with papa, well, not really sharing. But looking cute nonetheless.
