“Let’s have an adventure!” We are adventurous. Considering that we trekked from Pennsylvania to Arkansas to live in a temporary apartment for summer, that’s adventurous. In general though, I consider us homebodies. We like to stay home. Except for when we leave the house to go get coffee. Blogging about our big-super-duper-interesting life seems to be a stretch, because like I said, we’re...
The secret is out! It’s a BOY! We are so excited! Though I gotta say, we would have been just as ecstatic with a girl. We had several conversations about wondering whether the baby would be a boy or girl. One of my midwives had a theory that it was a boy because of the heartbeat. Brandon thought we might have a boy...
It feels like an eternity ago… but really, it was just less than six months ago when we took a whirlwind weekend trip to NYC. Brandon had never experienced the city and I was eager to revisit it. The trip has never hit the blog (though I did blanket Instagram with NYC pics, so go stalk there). We stayed in Brooklyn --- ‘cause...
I recently read a trails blog entitled, “Five Reasons to NOT Hike in Arkansas in the Summertime.” Those reasons included ticks, chiggers, poison ivy, snakes and heat exhaustion.

The rain is still coming down. I don’t know how many days in a row that it has been raining here in Arkansas, but it feels like foooorreeeevver (dear little nieces who are reading this blog entry, that is not really how you spell ‘forever’). This isn’t just normal rain. Sometimes the skies turn dark in the middle of the day and then...
Ya know what they say? Never say never. I always thought, “I don’t understand bump photos. They’re weird. Why do people post them?” And then, I had a happy little baby bump and a large collection of friends who happen to be miles and miles away from me. I know what will happen – I’ll go home in August and everyone will be...
