Hot Springs {Part Three}

 Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing my third and final part of our Hot Springs trip!

Monday, December 22


We started our last day off with breakfast at The Pancake Shop. My mom and step dad ate here back in the summer, and it was also highly recommended by a family friend of Caleb's.




After we ate, we went to the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. I did not love being so high up- I am usually not afraid of heights but for some reason I didn't love this one. It was pretty neat, though- just away from the windows 😉.



We then made our way to find a waterfall.....I a NOT a hiker but somehow got roped into a hike for this. Once we got back to the car, we saw that there was a shortcut to the waterfall 🙃. Oh well.

















Later that day, we went to Garvan Woodland Gardens for the Christmas lights and to see the famous chapel there. It was BEAUTIFUL. Such a fun evening!

Tuesday, December 23

Tuesday morning, we all got up pretty early to all head home.




Caleb and I made a detour to go to Oxford for a bit. We ate at one of my fave's- Ajax on the Square! We did a little shopping before heading home.

We had such a great trip, and I loved sharing it with you all! Have a great Thursday!

    Your family is so adorable! I love the pics of you and your son, or you and your husband. I've been to that chapel! It's in Eureka Springs, right? I went to a wedding there many years ago when my guys were all in elementary school. It was amazing! I love all the nighttime pictures with the lights. This trip has brought back so many great memories for me!

    What a neat place to go hiking, especially the unusual chapel. The restaurant looks like a big rip-off, high prices for what amounts to a plate of starch.

      The chapel is gorgeous- the pictures truly don’t do it justice!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...
