Bunco: Allyson’s Favorite Things

This bunco theme was so fun! Allyson started this bunco group a few years ago and then decided to move on all of us! So we chose to throw a surprise bunco party for her before they moved to Hot Springs last summer. I made these cute little invites and sent them to the group + her family without her knowing. I'm actually terrible at keeping these things secret so I'm still shocked I didn't make any missteps.

Spring Break 2025

Spring Break 2025 was so much fun! The girls were out all week and I took off some of it to hang out with them and then for us to take a quick little trip. This first picture was sometime during the week when we tried out Problem Child in LR. It was delish!

Chicken Piccata + Orecchiette

I looove chicken piccata. And I've tried all sorts of recipes that essentially do the same thing. This one was wonderful, as always! I loved the addition of the shallots. I also was out of angel hair pasta so I served it over orecchiette and everyone loved that sub!

Chicken and Artichoke Francese

OK, I really hope you listen when I say that you have to make this. It was incredible! And we've made the fried artichokes alone from this recipe a handful of times since. It's so delish! We paired it roasted radishes and the whole thing was *chef's kiss* amazing!

Here are the girls in one of their favorite places-- they LOVE Hugo's! And so do we :) We made a trip up last Feburary for Susan, David, and Bridget's birthday celebrations. We did our usual-- hit the Fayetteville square for lunch, dropped Brian at Dickson Street Books, the girls and I go grab coffee and a sweet treat, then we head on up to Rogers!

Bike to school day 🚲

The kids always love bike to school day so much! Or walk/scooter. IDK what it is and when. I do not love this day. Brian usually takes the kids and parks at Kroger then walks over. Since we live a little bit from the school.  VERY lucky this past spring, the Cherry's let the kids tag along! Love these sweet pics!

Bathroom

I think the best way to appreciate this bathroom is to look back and see what it looked like way back when. Before I took matters into my own hands. Because I hated this bathroom but it's part of the 10-15 year plan. Or if you ask Brian, I don't even think it's on his list. So I had to make it happier. And I did it all myself, knowing we'll redo it at some point.

Peanuts

I am SO BEHIND in the blog world. I came here yesterday looking for a recipe and saw that Valentine's was on my homepage which means I'm about a year behind. I sat down today and counted how many blogs I'm behind and it's around 65! All while life that I want to capture is still happening. So I'm here.. with fantastic peanuts. Just in time for peanut month.. in March.

FP Farmers Market

The girls take garden class at school yearly like every other Friday, or once a month. I actually don't know. But in the spring the school offers after school garden club. They did it this past year and loved it so much! The year ended with a farmer's market for the to sell all the things they had made or grown and it was so fun. I took off an afternoon to go help and enjoyed it so much!
