An Arkansas Mama's journey to natural, simple living.
Do you have special memories of visiting the zoo as a child? I do. My Mother would take us to the Little Rock Zoo quite often when I was growing up. We all loved it! Now that my children are getting of age to really enjoy seeing the beautiful creations, I want to take advantage of it! We have animals, many types actually at home from rabbits, pigs, chickens, cats and a dog but their is something about seeing all {Read More}
To say we knew what to expect at the City Museum wouldn’t be totally truthful. We actually found the City Museum by way of the Aquarium that is inside on the third floor. I was intrigued and it looked like the perfect way to spend a very cold day. It is housed in the 600,000 square-foot former International Shoe Company. When I told Bryan we were headed to a museum for the day this was not what he expected. It {Read More}
We love making homemade bean burritos. They are favorites of Bryan and the kiddos. They are super frugal to make and pack a punch of fiber and nutrients, whats not to love? It is easy on days that I am home all day to cook up a large batch of homemade pinto beans and then use those to make our own homemade refried beans. We can control everything that goes into them and they are not full of preservatives. I {Read More}
If your family isn’t taking a vacation this summer, Little Passports can help your child “travel” and learn about different cultures around the world.

Traditionally, people prepare their houses for Midsummer celebrations by decorating their homes with colorful flowers and wreaths. Little Passports has fun facts for {Read More}
Reality is hitting me that in a very short amount of time I will be bringing home a new baby! I am excited, nervous, anxious…almost as if it were my first again! In some ways it will be. After my complications, I felt so blessed to have two healthy happy babies so we decided to be ever so thankful for our blessings and stop there. It took quite a bit to resolve in my heart but I reached that happy {Read More}
Over the last weekend in May we had the chance to visit the Little Rock Zoo. I haven’t been there since I was a child but have very fond memories of visiting with my family. This time it was our first visit as a family with our children, why did we wait so long? Half-way through the day we met the kids cousins and they had a great time exploring until the Tornado Warning was issued. We had seen about {Read More}
I am clearly going through my nesting period right now as I am going through everything I can in an effort to clean out and de-clutter with a new baby coming in August. I recently went through my repurpose clothing bin and I have quite the collection. It did however stir the desire to start sewing and crafting again, which I am ever so excited about! Here is a small basket of the fabrics I am wanting to use in {Read More}
