Located less than 4 hours from Kansas City, Eureka Springs, Arkansas is an ideal weekend getaway. It’s been a popular destination since the 1800s and still provides that old-world charm with its Victorian era architecture, rich foliage and rolling hills.
I know a lot of people who want to start riding bikes (as they should - it's awesome!) and I know how overwhelming it can be, but don't fret! Here is my best advice if you're contemplating taking the plunge.
If you haven’t been to Vietnam Café in Columbus Park, you need to go. Like today. Vietnam Café is fresh, authentic and ridiculously affordable. Not to mention their pho (pronounced fuh) is sensational.
Homemade granola is so fun. It’s healthy, easy and makes your home smell better than any Yankee Candle. I’ve tried a lot of recipes over the years and Alton Brown’sis hands-down the best. It’s great all by its lonesome, swimming in your favorite milk or served on yogurt with berries. ORRR, if you want to get crafty with it you can package it up real cute and give it to people you like – just be sure to include the recipe, they’re gonna want it!
Camping is the best. It gives us city-folk time out in nature – a time to get away from the noise and fast pace of everyday life. Plus, its affordable – making it accessible and relatively easy to get started.
