This is how I spend my
Tuesday evenings after work.
Please don’t report me. ♥

It’s Sunday, so that means it’s time for three things:
Take out from Slim Chicken’s
a Lifetime movie marathon
& a weekend recap blog post.
Friday night we took it easy and doggysat our friends’ dog, Bowsie. This crazy little creature is a Bichon and Pug mix that was rescued by Bryan and Jenny and is quite a looker (and licker).
Sadie had a blast with her slumber party pal, but was a bit confused about it all.
Saturday morning was pretty lazy, but by noon Todd and I were off to do some thrifting and to see some glass blowing in the country. Todd’s stepdad, Ed, runs Red Fern Glass, a hot glass studio where he makes gorgeous chandlers, sculptures, and more. He has an annual Glass Blow Out around this time every year and this one marked the 25th anniversary of Red Fern Glass. Of course the art is amazing, but so is his property.
Pretty drive
Thrifting adventure
I found a cute vintage knitting carrier for a buck!
Vintage summer sandals for 50 cents (in my size, which is rare).
Don’t put heavy on here!
This is one of my favorite thrift stores ever. Green Forest, Arkansas.
What a selection of name pins. Tammi, Mildred, Micky, Tonya, & more!
Headed to the Glass Blow Out…
The property is at the end of a long dirt road
Todd stopped to help two turtles cross the road.
Finally, we were there.
Little garden house
This use to be Todd’s grandfather’s truck
The actual studio
Best Chill Zone ever.
We headed back towards Fayetteville…
… where I then headed out with GL.
We met up with friends at Kingfish, where more than enough photos were taken (thanks to my camera being passed around).
We played a few rounds of Knockoff
I won!
After closing our tabs, GL and I decided we weren’t quite ready to call it a night.
We went across the street to the Walton Arts Center Rose Garden and snapped a few more pictures, taking full advantage of the camera’s self-timer.
Silly girls.
This reminded us of Stitch & Bitch, so of course we took even more pictures.
I don’t know why, but we saw a fresh bagel in the garden and it made us laugh.
Although we were pretty hungry, we didn’t eat it.
Instead, we each got a hot dog from the hot dog stand on Dickson.
Soooo good.
It got crowded quick. Some randos jumped in for a shot.
After stuffing our faces on the sidewalk, we headed home.
Now that my friends is what you call a weekend.
What better way to celebrate the beginning of spring than with… SNOW!
Wait. What?
Yeah, that’s what I thought when I woke up this morning.
It started falling on Saturday and continued all through late afternoon on Sunday. This is especially crazy considering that on Thursday and Friday I shared happy hour with girl friends on a sunny patio…
Fast forward to Sunday and we have at least a foot of the cold stuff. Even though I am beyond ready for sundresses, margaritas, and swimming pools, we did manage to have a little fun…
Sadie & Everett had a couple friends over to enjoy the snow.
Sadie, Layla, Ellie, & Pinky the flamingo
Layla has a snow mustache.
Ellie says, “I’ll just be right here…”
Sadie!
Ooph..
I built a snow lady…
While my 10 year old husband built a snow fort.
He even built a doggie door.
I think Sadie had the most fun of all.
Till next year, snow!
Or so I hope…
I was innocently trying to capture Sadie’s cute yawn, but when I looked at my images on my iPhone, I was shocked to find this mean monster.
Miss Sadie and her sister, Olive, where born THREE whole years ago. I can hardly believe it – my little baby bear is growing up! To celebrate the big day Todd took her to Pet Smart and picked out a bunch of treats and when they came home, I had another surprise waiting for her. I replaced her food bowls with a turkey cheddar appetizer and a water martini with heart shaped ice.
Yep. She’s spoiled.
I take that back. WE are spoiled. Sadie & Olive, we luv ya’ll way too much.
