do you have this condition??

Yesterday we were sitting in a meeting and I looked at Alex and he was looking pretty salty, so I called him on it. There is only one term for his salty expression and it started a long conversation about "resting b**** face".  Apparently it's a problem for a lot of people and may affect you or a loved one.

If you're not sure you have this condition, this article gives a very thorough description. I also recommend this article or this article to help you determine if you're unknowingly suffering. Even Hollywood A-lister's suffer, so you're not alone.

happy friday

This week we got back into the routine of life. We caught up on house work and work work, we got to spend time with friends and cooked in our own kitchen and we even got to sleep in our own bed. It was a good week and I'm looking forward to a restful weekend. The only excitement on our schedule is: today is National Doughnut Day!!  To celebrate this fantastic "holiday" I will be eating far too many doughnuts and you better believe there will be sprinkles involved.

This week I found a few links that I wanted to share with you, so enjoy!

Happy Weekend!

it's june already?!?

May flew by so quickly that I keep asking myself how it can be June already?! It feels like just yesterday we were packing to go to Oregon. In May, we were gone five weekends in a row- Oregon, Little Rock, Salem, Memphis and Little Rock again! Therefore, I have decided that Alex and I will not be leaving our little corner of the world until July.

The furthest we're going is to Food Truck Friday in Tower Grove Park. We were all over last month and I'm not too keen to repeat it just yet. I love adventure and spontaneity but I'm finding that I enjoy a bit of a routine and consistency too. This month, I'm looking forward to waking up in the same bed all month! It's the little things in life right?  

goodbye's are never easy

This is not an easy post to write, but my Grandpa Bob passed away early Sunday morning. He had a quick battle with cancer and while I'm glad he didn't have to endure the pain for long, that doesn't mean I am ready to say goodbye.

I am forever thankful for everything he taught me and for all the memories I have of him. It's hard to process that he won't be here to help me plan adventures, to chase Moose around, to play dominoes with or to finish a bowl of chocolate ice cream with before bed. There is so much more that I will miss, it hurts. But, he was an extraordinary man and lived a wonderful life. I am so thankful that I was able to call him Grandpa and that God put him in my life.
