Birfday Thursday {Debbie Arnold}
We are on week 3 of Birfday Thursday. I've been so excited to host my friends Laurie and Rhonda and today I welcome another new friend from my new life in NWA and blogger world. I "met" Debbie through Arkansas Women Bloggers (yes, the one where I'm...
looking for rainbows
This post about looking for rainbows among the storms life brings originally appeared on Arkansas Women Bloggers. I wrote the content as a contributor to their site at the time. Last Tuesday Northwest Arkansas experienced some crazy weather. As I was leaving town...
Birfday Thursday {Rhonda Bramell}
Second week of Birfday Thursday, I'm hosting my gal pal Rhonda. When I tell you this gal is funny, I'm not using my usual means of sarcasm. Rhonda was one of my first northwest Arkansas friends. We worked together when I first moved here and...
Pinterest Generation

Birfday Thursday {Laurie Marshall}
I'm starting my Birfday Thursday April celebration with my new friend Laurie. I met Laurie through another awesome friend you will get to meet next week. But, Laurie hates cancer too and was an awesome champion for us last summer when we enrolled over...
fish sandwich lovers
So, last week I had a thought. "It's Ash Wednesday. Know what that means? Fish sandwiches!!!" Of course, I didn't mention it to anyone because I've learned in our culture, liking the fish sandwich is faux pas; makes you some kind of dirty version...

Girls night honesty
This past weekend, I had the chance to attend the Womenade Pajama Party with my gal Rhonda. Just think a bunch of women, many of whom don't know each other gathering in the lobby of a local hotel with a local DJ and Zumba instructors. For my...

let this be the year
Let this be the year! That's been on my mind lately. I guess it could be the fact that I've been staying up late and sleeping in like I'm a college student or the weird combination of foods that I don't normally eat. But, something has had this rolling...
holiday blues
As I've spent the last couple days reading social media and blog posts about the ending of 2013 and 2014, I've struggled to come up with words for where I am. I'll be honest (because you know I usually hold back) I HATE JANUARY - and typically February, too. ...
