What do the renowned Fearing's Restaurant, Ali Landry, the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas and Baby Butts all have in common? They're all part of the Launch Party for Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment, of course! I wasn't able to attend, so I did the next best thing....I decided to live vicariously through someone else, and hire my new-found guest blogger buddy, Jess Self, to go have fun for me.
Did I mention I'm super jealous? Well, let's all enjoy her story:

A morning off from the kids, an
excuse to get “fancied up,” great food, cocktails, amazing people to meet, and
a happy baby with a healthy bum!!! These were all the things that came to mind
when I was invited to attend the Dallas Launch Party for Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment. I was so excited that I was going to get to share a neat event
with local bloggers from Texas, but was even more excited when I found out I
would be hanging with a celebrity too!
The launch was for a reliable
product; in fact they are celebrating the “50th” birthday of Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment. Dr. Forrest Smith, a pediatrician from San Antonio,
created the product in 1963. Until a
few years ago, it was very hard to find the product on the shelves. That all
changed four years ago when Mission Pharmacal purchased the product and decided
to make sure this product was available to get on our babies’ bottoms. Mission,
being a seasoned family company established in 1946, had no problem doing
so!! The launch of Dr. Smith’s Baby
Ointment was very productive causing it to hit the shelves of every, that’s
right, every Walgreen’s, and many other supermarkets and drugstores. It can
also be found now at Kroger, Wal-Mart, and HEB. I’m more than positive that
other major chains will not be far behind in stocking their shelves, as well!
The Dallas
Launch Party for Dr. Smith’s Diaper Rash Ointment was held at the luxurious Ritz
Carlton Hotel in downtown Dallas, at their upscale Fearing’s Restaurant. When
we arrived, we were in awe! The place was beautiful and that is being modest.
After we took some pictures and
tried to get over our shell shock from how beautiful the hotel was, we were
escorted to the amazing Fearing’s Restaurant and they had it decked out! The
room had a 360° view with floor to ceiling glass windows and a chandelier that
was TO DIE FOR! I was already a happy girl and the event had not even started.
As we were meeting fellow
bloggers and chatting away, they were serving some of the most delicious
breakfast treats. Most breakfasts at my house consists
of bananas, cheerios, and maybe a muffin here and there. So this was a very
special treat. They had fruit kabobs, mini biscuit breakfast sandwiches;
pancakes with an amazing blueberry puree, and my absolute favorite were the
French toast bites! Now all these things sound ordinary but they were NOT! My
mouth is still watering.
As I was stuffing my face, the
most stunning woman walked up to me and I was star struck! Ali Landry is
beautiful!!! I was in awe, and slightly jealous all in the same swoop. Everyone
knows her as the gorgeous babe from the Doritos’s Super Bowl commercial. She is
an actress, model, TV host, owner of a clothing line, wife of a famous
director, and most importantly, a momma to three little gems. Her life is all
about her babies and I was thoroughly impressed! She even had her newest
edition, two-month-old Valentin, with her and he was so precious. She truly
disproved my theory that all celebrity babies are raised by their nannies!
We had the pleasure of meeting
several of the wonderful people who work with Mission Pharmacal. The Vice
President of Marketing, Natalie, was a very sweet lady who is a mother of
twins. The Vice President/ Part Owner of the company, Bear and his lovely wife,
made the biggest impact on me personally. They are parents to triplets who are
now in college. They are on the top of my list, of the most down to earth, true
Texan friendly people. We chatted about kids and even took a little parenting
advice from these tendered parents.
Mission Pharmacal gave a sweet
gift to Ali for her newest addition, which was just the cherry on top for how
kind the people are who own and operate this company. I had a genuine good time
with all of the nice people and five star treatments. And the best part was
they gave each of us Mommies a nice stock size jar and tube to take home to give
a try! I am super excited to keep my little guy’s bum happy! Since we all know
“HAPPY BABY EQUALS HAPPY MOMMA!!”
