Write it down: Goals
I recently picked up the book “Girl, Wash Your Face,” by Rachel Hollis, and was amazed it took me so long to join the many women who finished it long ago! The pages are filled with life lessons and spark the motivation to go after every dream you put...
Local Spotlight: Coffee Hub
I’ve been exploring a new local… I made my new home in Ohio! The best part about moving to a new city is exploring the local coffee shops. I think this is the best way to understand the culture and meet some fascinating individuals. I recently visited Coffee Hub...
What to do in Little Rock, Arkansas
I visited Little Rock, Arkansas, on a whim. I knew very little about the area but was attempting to explore the outdoors for a change. I expected to spend hours hiking and evenings relaxing in a quiet city- but wow, was I surprised. Little Rock actually has a thriving...

Local Spotlight: Sneaky Beans
Porches are a big deal in the South. They are the epicenter of family gatherings, morning coffee, and late night soul searching. They are a way to appreciate the beauty our warm weather brings. There is one porch that supports more stories than most and it belongs to Sneaky...
