People love lists, and we love to see our hometowns on lists. So when Travel + Leisure named my hometown, Fayetteville, Arkansas, number 7 on its list of America’s Quirkiest Towns, I saw it shared around a lot. As much as I love it here, and I do, indeed, think it’s quirky (we prefer the […]
Getting Creative at the Museum
We are so lucky to have, a relatively short drive from home, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. This place is not something you’d expect in a place that’s still sometimes thought of as the middle of nowhere, but it’s great to be able to see amazing art (we have “Rosie the Riveter” and the […]
Take Yourself on a Field Trip {Creativity Boosts}
Today I have a challenge for you to try today, over the weekend or next week: take yourself on a field trip. As grown ups we often get so into our routines and schedules that we don’t take time for anything out of the ordinary (read: fun). And shaking things up is one great way […]
