How much fun was my 40th birthday celebration with friends in Hot Springs?! They planned the most fun and special weekend. All on Mother's Day weekend and they are ALL mothers! Lucky is quite the understatement.
My 40th Birthday!
12 June 2026
My 40th birthday was on a Saturday this year. So I went to work on Friday, I work with a bunch of men, not thinking anything would happen. Actually I had zero thoughts that it would even be a thing. Went into a meeting and came out to this. Actually, let me back that up. At the end of the meeting, they played a song and a slideshow that had been made entirely from AI of me and getting older... and the photos were terrifying.
Crawfish Boil in El Dorado
11 June 2026
We made a trip down to El Dorado in April for an annual crawfish boil. My parents and brother go every year but this was our first. Actually, let me back up, the girls have been before! But they had so much fun, they actually picked up the crawfish. And we had a great time eating them :)
Stitching Bags and Thangs
10 June 2026
This has been a new little fun hobby. I know I have a machine that can do this kind of thing but this one I can control with my hands! I saw an instagram video a couple months back and thought, hey, I can do that! So I went and bought some things and went to town.
Dance 2026 + Recital
09 June 2026
I had so much fun watching Kate shine during her dance recital! She did such a great job and got up there with no fear, knew her dances and looked like she was having a blast!
Wicked in Little Rock!
08 June 2026
No one mourns the wicked! This family loves Wicked and so does Erin! I actually was introduced to Wicked by Erin many years ago. We've seen it together twice-- one in Memphis and then this time in LR. And this time we took our girls. Kate and Emily saw it in NYC last summer and this was Lucy's first time! It was so great!
BVT: Living Room Redesign
07 June 2026
I have struggled with this room more than any room, maybe ever. Feels strong. It's a great room, great size but it's the first thing you see when you come in the house and I want it to be pretty but cozy and I really wanted it to be a room we all love being in. The main thing throwing me has always been this back wall.
Broadview Bracelet Stand
06 June 2026
Want to see something absolutely precious? A bracelet stand started by some neighbor kids. All on their own! They drug all of these things to the end of the street and went to work! The banner, prices, everything was all them. And the stand kept returning day after day. It was so cute and precious to watch.
Kate got Braces!
05 June 2026
Remember that expander Kate got a little while back? Well now she's ready for braces!! And she did so well. It's amazing looking at the picture above where that tooth to the left of her middle teeth is so far back. It's pulled forward and even with the others now. She has such a beautiful smile!
Easter 2026
04 June 2026
I didn't take a single picture of the girls or our family on Easter! I don't know how that happened. But I did get a few little fun memories leading up and the day of. Above is the kids table and we have so much fun dressing up tables around here. Emily always likes to help and she makes them as colorful as possible. This year we used eggs as the nameplates and it was so cute!
