Babymoon in Eureka Springs

In July we found out that our dreams had come true, I was expecting our first child! Once our families were informed and it was Facebook official, we decided we wanted to celebrate. So we headed to our second favorite place in the world (second only to Disney World lol) Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Eureka Springs is definitely my peaceful refugee, and I could be happy anywhere there, but we have just fallen in love with Eureka Springs Treehouses. We were so excited to have the opportunity to stay in one of their Castle Treehouses, as we had stayed in their Paris Treehouse previously, and it did not disappoint.

My Heart is in Eureka Springs

With our third Eureka Springs trip only 42 days away, I was feeling nostalgic and wanted to share some pictures!

52 Week Savings Challenge

Did you know the average person spends over $40 a day eating out? That can add up to over $200 in spendings during the work week. Imagine if you ate breakfast at home and brought your lunch with you just one day during the week. That's $40 you could put towards savings. $40 for 52 weeks would add up to $2080. Who wouldn't like to look at their savings at the end of the year and see they had saved over $2000, just by making one small change during the week?

Honeymoonin' In Eureka Springs

I promise we didn't actually do any mooning'. Actually...there could have been one instance of moonin'. When the time is right, the time is right. We did honeymoon and we honeymoon'd the best way we knew how. We explored back roads, we slept in a treehouse, we hunted for all the springs that were left in Eureka Springs, we made friends, we hit caves (literally, I got a concussion in a cave), the Waffle Box was attacked by a llama, I loved on a baby camel, and we ate...we ate A LOT (I brought home 6 extra pounds to prove it!)

Big In Nashville

Earlier this year I had something amazing happen to me. I was asked to attend the 46th Annual Country Music Awards as a representative for The Artisan Group. I had months for this to sink in and yet it never seemed real, not even when I was boarding my plane, headed towards Nashville, Tennessee. What an amazing opportunity for a small town, Louisiana, girl who grew up on Country Music. I've always thought of myself as a sort of authority on all things modern and classic country, and I would have never thought that would have paid off in any way!
