Found this little love bud in my front yard. Not sure how it got there but was too pretty to pass up!! I think it's a squash blossom but not sure. Any ideas what type of flower this may be? #pretty #flower #mysterybloom #littlelovebud #nwalife #arkansasisanatural

While Blitzen swims like a fish in lake Beaver, Cosmo is intent on snagging a bite of one of our sandwiches instead. He's a big chicken and will barely get in the water past putting his feet in. Hiking, swimming, enjoying the amazing 70° weather. #sundayfunday #latergram #hike #swim #gimmeabite #Cosmo #Blitzen #amazing #weather #nwalife #arkansasisanatural (at Pigeon Roost Trail, Hobbs State Park)

Last night, I went to Tusk & Trotter 🐷 and had an amazing dinner with three awesome people, @drumofthrones @jpearla , @crogaus . Followed by a trip to the always incredible Crystal Bridges Art Museum. After indulging in some one of a kind visual art from Dali, Van Gogh, Rothko and many other greats, we had a carousel of delicious edible art awaiting us at the beautiful Eleven resturant! Strawberry short cake, warm chocolate molten cake with vanilla bean ice cream and fresh berries, salted carmel & nutella covered cheesecake with a peanut crumble and strawberrry rubarb cheesecake with a vanilla bean drizzle. 🍰 Soooo goooood. Topped off with a hilarious game of cards against humanity and you got yourself a hell of a night! #dinner #tuskandtrotter #dessert #Eleven #crystalbridges #museum #cardsagainsthumanity #datenight #goodfood #goodpeople #goodtimes #bentonville #arkansas #nwalife (at Eleven at Crystal Bridges)

#fbf to a time when my hair was fire engine red, my bangs were rockin, my shades were buggin and my best friend was and still is @ec_lewski . This was the summer of 2008, 19 years old, on Bower street right around the bend from The Fort. 😊 Time sure does fly when you're having fun.💫 Photo cred: Emily Lewis @ec_lewski #flashbackfriday #fbf #redhead #bangin #shades #buggin #bestfriendsfoeva #summer #bowerstreet #hotsprings #arkansas #spacitylife #thefort #timesuredoesfly #funtimes (at Bower Street Spa City AR 🌲)

@drumofthrones & I went for our first hiking adventure today in the beautiful 71° weather!! ⛅⛅ Needless to say, Blitzen and Cosmo had a blast. The trail was lovely and we had ourselves a picnic, also. 🍓 #sundayfunday success!! #hiking #Cosmo #Blitzen #beautifulday #picnicstatus #sundayfunday #nwalife (at Shaddox Hollow Trail)

#tbt to a time when I was a blue and purple unicorn 🌈 And @mel_llorona was the magical wizard that made it all possible. Good times. Good snarl. Good makeup. 👌👌 I still got some unicorn left where it counts. 🌌 😋 #tbt #unicorn #purplehair #bluehair #darklips #snarl #cateye #septum #modgirls #goodtimes #spacity #throwback (at Spa City 🌿)
