a little bit of a lot
From the monthly archives:
We’ve been working on updating Petit Elefant for the last little bit now and we’re ready to proceed. Bear with us while we move hosting plans, platforms, etc., etc. This move should be seamless to all, but we though we’d let you know just in case there’s a blip or two in your loading the site.
This is the part where we tell you about the great things that are to be expected with the new site; so I just did.
Thanks for reading.

One of the perks of traveling all the time is getting to stay in awesome hotels. I worship staying in hotels. This might have something to do with the fact that growing up we didn’t stay in hotels. Ever.
We were a granola, hippie, tie dye loving, camping family. Which I’ve incorporated into my family life, to an extent, but I love a good hotel. They always have hot showers! And beds!
So, in February I went to Houston for the Mom 2.0 Summit which was held in the Houston Four Seasons hotel. Upon checking in I was presented with a stuffed horse for my children. Sweet right? It’s the little touches that count.
Then we saw the room.
Gorgeous.
We had to book a suite in order to accommodate guests for the Cambria Cove suite we hosted the second day of the conference {we being me and my partner in crime Marie LeBaron}, and you won’t hear me complaining about it. The suite was outstanding.
oh, hotel slippers, aaaahThe bathroom was beautiful. I even had a mini tutorial on the bidet from my friend Jenny the Bloggess, understander of all things bidet/weird related, but I still can’t say I get the appeal. I mean? Well, I won’t go into it.
But the bathrooms were beautiful, bidet and all.
The view wasn’t too shabby either. Our room overlooked the hotel pool & hot tub {which of course I gave a good run} which were beautiful as well. Everything at the Four Seasons is beautiful actually.
Especially the toiletries. I have a bit of a thing about hotel toiletries. I’m obsessed with them. It makes no sense really. I gather them up, bring them home and put them in a cupboard in a special bin just for hotel sized toiletries, and then I pack them when I go on another trip. Wherein I proceed to gather more. But L’Occitane? Seriously good stuff.
One last thing about the Four Seasons Hotel in Houston? Impeccable service. I’ve stayed in some really nice hotels but the service at the Four Seasons was ridiculous in the best way possible. Polite, helpful, kind, accommodating, and prompt.
In a word? Fabulous.

I did another fashion segment for a local t.v. station this afternoon, showing off the hotness that is DownEast Basics right now. I wasn’t nervous, even though my sweat glands disagreed. I’ve decided yellow isn’t my color, poofy tops make me look pregnant, and my arms could use some toning.
Other than that, it was perfect.
After watching the rehash through my fingers, I’ve decided it’s tolerable and can share the video link with you.
Petit Elefant talks fashion.
Thankfully I had some of my blogging buddies along for the ride. Don’t they look hot? Strength in numbers.
