HELLO
Mom to Iris. Wife to Todd. Our little family lives at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains in Fayetteville, Arkansas. We love it here and I love sharing little bits of our life.

The Black Crowes + Randoms

After quite a lull in live music
my life was suddenly filled
with concerts last week.
Here’s one quick story
in photos
with another
music adventure
coming soon.

On Saturday, Todd and I
met up with our friend
(and my old roommate)
who now plays guitar for
The Black Crowes.

He hooked us up with
backstage passes.

A cold, but fun night indeed!

So this is a little random,
but here are some photos
that I somehow forgot to post.

Sadly, we didn’t beat Bama
but at least we looked cute?

It was a day that we counted down to for months.
It was a game that we should have won.
Sadly, it was a game that we lost.

Despite the immense disappointment
the excitement that surrounded the game
was incredible.

Here’s the fun we had
supporting our Hogs.
Win or lose.

The excitement invaded the whole weekend.
With friends in from out of town
and a party at Jill & Ben’s.

Todd & most of my friends
went to the game.
But a few of us girls
walked over to Smoke & Barrel
to eat our cupcakes, drink a beer, & watch it on the big screen.

Football Weather

Fall.
It’s my favorite time of the year.

Hoodies.
Cool, clear skies.
Extra hot Chai with whip cream.
And football.

Here’s how I’ve spent
my September so far…

Farmers Market
on the town square.

Tailgating.
I love that we can walk to the stadium from our house.

That’s the real football.
I’ve been spending my time with
fantasy football too.

Todd and I played each other in week one.
Despite the slow start,
The Cuddly Kittens kicked some Butt.

Fantasty Football

This week looks to be even better.
The Arkansas Razorbacks are set to play Alabama
(the number one team in the country) at home.
Bright and early the next morning
I fly to Washington D.C. for work,
with a friend in tow.
Thankfully, I’m able to stay an extra day
to play a tourist in my old town.

Pictures to follow…

Back (b)logged

Oh gosh.

I’m so behind on blogging,
I don’t even know where to begin.

My days have been busy with work
and my nights have been busy with
watching Big Brother with Todd.

Just a few photos from
the last couple of weeks…

Little Rock Adventure

This weekend marks
the third weekend
in a row
that I’ve taken
a road trip outta town.

Little Rock, Arkansas
was the target this time around.
Cory Branan set up
a last minute show,
so we made a night of it.

Checked into the Hilton
where we made our own
hotel bar.

It was so great to talk to someone face to face about
vintage,
photography,
and all the fashion bloggers we follow.

We devoured a fourth meal back at the hotel.

And at three am
we spent five minutes
nervously trying to jump the fence
to the hotel pool.
When all of the sudden
we watched two dudes
just open the gate
and walk right in.
Funniest part of the evening right there.

After just a few hours of
restless hotel sleep
and an 11 o’clock checkout time,
we headed home
tired, but happy.
