Out and About // KNWA News Station

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

/></a></p>
<p>After the turkey was eaten, all the pie was gone, and the relatives had left- it was time for me to enjoy the rest of my Thanksgiving break.  I spent Friday behind the scenes at <a href=KNWA and Fox 24 in Fayetteville.  That’s right, I was privy to all the craziness viewers don’t get to see when the cameras are off.  Living in the River Valley I don’t get either news stations, so it was treat to FINALLY get to see my guy on the news.  Usually JR is out in the field reporting stories, but Thursday and Friday he was behind the desk filling in for the main anchors.  It was a lot of fun to see each newscast come together, and the people there- very cool.  And so here’s my plug for NWA readers- for all your news, sports, and weather tune into channel 8 at 9:00, and 9 at 10:00.

<p>Christmas lights are being hung, trees are being decorated, and I’m getting excited!  I absolutely love this time of year.  I was one of the many crazy people out at 3:00 am for Black Friday… I see Black Friday as the kickoff to the Christmas season.  And so the countdown begins, 27 days to go!</p>

Out and About // Devil’s Den State Park

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Before it becomes too cold to enjoy being outside- I’m spending all the time I can outdoors.  Plus!  The fall is the best time to go hiking or mountain biking… the leaves, crisp cool air, and no mosquitos biting!  This weekend we loaded up the mountain bikes and went to Devil’s Den State Park.  The bike trails in the park follow the the ridges above the river- a lot of fun downs and steep ups!  It was a great day to be out.  If you are into camping, hiking, biking or geocaching- Devil’s Den is a such cool place.  There’s caving too, however— the caves are temporary closed due to White-noise Syndrome.  Boo.

Out and About // Hawksbill Craig

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

Friday night I met up with Erika, but before we could start talking photography I had to hold her sweet baby boy.  He’s going to be a heart breaker.  Such a cutie pie. Talking photography now, we spent several hours sharing and swapping ideas for the website and photo shoots.  Erika has lots of great ideas for revamping the website- I’m excited!!  With that said- be sure to check out the site from day to day!

Moving onto the weekend- Sunday afternoon we went hiking at Hawksbill Craig (one of my favorite places).  It’s a fun hike, and the views are… what for it… breathtaking!  Hawksbill Craig is said to be the most photographed place in Arkansas, and if you have been there before then you definitely understand why.  I’m loving the fall, and the cool weather… but this getting dark at 5:30, I’m not digging it.  Once the sun set, my toes began to freeze.  I think it’s getting time to retire the chacos for the year.

Shoesday // Fun Flats

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

There are plenty of reasons why a bride might decide to wear flat shoes for her wedding.  She might be having her ceremony on grass or sand, or perhaps she just wants to be comfortable.  Though some brides think they will never be able to find cute flats- don’t fret!!  There are actually some great styles out there!  And when you are still dancing at the end of the night instead of limping like the bride who chose to wear sky high stilettos, you will be glad you went with a cute pair of flats!  Check out these sweet styles!

Out and About // Magic Screeeeams

Monday, November 1st, 2010

For a good scare and fun night out we went to Magic Screams for Halloween.  Let me set the scene for you….

It was pitch black outside, scary sound effects played over the loud speakers, and ghosts, ghouls, and goblins had taken over the theme park.  IT. WAS. AWESOME.  For October Magic Springs is transformed into a frightening (but fun!) theme park, Magic Screams- tada!  In the evening, actors in scary costumes, masks and makeup wander the park, looking to scare visitors (they got me- several times).  The Phobia House of Fears was one of the two haunted houses… scared of spiders? clowns? tight spaces?  The House of Fears had them all.  The Murder Mansion was the second haunted house, from your first step in you were in the midst of a murderous rampage- hello scary!  After putting my brave face on and walking through both haunted houses, we raced between rides trying to ride them all before the park closed.  And to cap the Halloween weekend off I saw Paranormal Activity 2.  Well… I saw more of the inside of my jacket than I did the movie, it was pretty scary.

Hope you all had a fun Halloween weekend!
