Oh, hey! What’s that sound? SPRING! Finally. I’m so over the dreary, cold days we’ve been having over here. And of course yet again, we have gotten through another winter with not one good snow. Not one! I blame it on the snowsuit I bought for Iris three years ago. We haven’t had one snow day since I purchased it. When I first moved to NW Arkansas over ten years ago, I swear our winters were more exciting than they are now. My hometown of Memphis (known for its sweltering summers) has even gotten more fluffy white stuff than us up here in the mountains.

Anyway, at least we’ve rounded the corner and warmer weather is ahead. As much as I love a good snow day, summer has always been my thing. Speaking of bikinis, this week is Iris’ very first Spring Break, but (whomp whomp) no beach fun for her. Todd and I still have to work most of the week, so my mom has graciously taken her during the day. Later this week though, we are having a bit of a spring break adventure. We’re heading over to Big Cedar Lodge for a few days to stay in a cute little cottage with some of our best buddies. Until then, we’re putting on our spying goggles and looking out for the cast and crew of True Detective, which is currently filming all around our town.

Catch ya on the other side of spring break.
