Last weekend we, as a party of 3, decided the weather was too nice to stay indoors. We jumped in the car and headed for the River Market area of downtown. No plan (which drove our #3 CRAZY), just a few ideas. While Dustin and I did a “tour” of downtown on the blog before, […]

Life Lately
It has been forever since we have posted anything, and yet so much has happened. December & January brought on not only the holidays, but many appointments with social workers to try to get our home open. We traveled to see family both months, and came back to finally hear our home was open to […]

Big Changes
Dustin and I have always had a different relationship than most. We march to the beat of our own drum, if you will. 11 ish years ago, Dustin moved to St. Louis for a change of pace from rural Arkansas. He was in college, and moved on kind of a whim. We met at work […]

Travel Planning: Where to start

Coffee With A Cause
Each weekend at the Texas Farmers’ Market you’ll find Pour & Press, a coffee and pastry company based out of Austin. If you visit their stand, you’ll see my friend Kyle selling some amazing cold brew coffee and a variety of his mouth-watering pastries. What you might not see is the mission that drives them to be out there […]

Little Rock Neighborhood Guide: The Heights/ Hillcrest
If you start in downtown Little Rock, and drive a few miles down Cantrell Road, a neighborhood called the Heights will greet you. With streets lined with quaint homes and other streets lined with houses converted into stores, the area looks like a Meg Ryan chick flick movie scene. The Heights is a little different from […]

Not Your Average Baby Shower Games
When close friends say “We want a co-ed baby shower,” it happens in a big way with my group of friends. While there was a team of us putting on this “Baby-Q,” I was in charge of games. I LOVE games that are fun to play, funny to watch, make people get to know each […]
