Community Bakery, Little Rock, AR

Grab a great treat at this local favorite!

by Maddie Daniel | January 24, 2012

Birthdays are a special time in my family.  We all get together to play games, catch up on the latest news, and most importantly, eat cake.  For as long as I can remember, our cakes have come from Community Bakery.  There is an important reason for this: they are the best!  My family are not the only people who agree; the Arkansas Times and Democrat-Gazette consistently vote Community “Best Bakery” in Central Arkansas.

Juanita’s Mexican Cafe and Bar, Little Rock, AR

This old favorite has a new location with the same great atmosphere

by Maddie Daniel | January 17, 2012

One of the most fabulous bars in Little Rock is one that has been around for ages.  I have seen more shows at Juanita’s than I can remember.  I have eaten their salsa and cheese dip until I could eat no more.  I have sipped their margaritas with satisfaction.  This place is a true piece of Arkansas.

Opened in 1986, Juanita’s Mexican Cafe and Bar is a great atmosphere for food, fun, and entertainment.  …


Crater of Diamonds State Park, Murfreesboro, AR

Fun and romance only 2 hours from Little Rock!

by Maddie Daniel | January 10, 2012

For many women, there is nothing more romantic than diamonds.  They “last forever,” “begin kisses,” and “are a girl’s best friend.”  While most girls want the diamonds in a lovely box, there is something satisfying about having a unique piece.  Maybe even one you found yourself...

Lucky for Arkansans, the only open-to-the-public diamond site in the United States is located here in Murfreesboro!  Although digging through the dirt may not seem like …

Museum of Discovery, Little Rock, AR

A Little Rock favorite gets a facelift just in time for the new year!

by Maddie Daniel | January 07, 2012

Like most young teenagers whiling away the summer, I often got bored with my surroundings.  My mother did what all good mothers do, and found a place for me to use my best “skills.”  For a few summers I was a volunteer at the Museum of Discovery.

I loved my time at the museum, doing puppet shows, helping with traveling exhibits, coaching school groups in “The Imagination Station”—basically exploring one of the best museums Little …

Top Ten Bucket List Attractions, Little Rock, AR

Start checking these great places off your list!

by Maddie Daniel | December 18, 2011

Adventure is everywhere in the Natural State, so here are ten things to put on your bucket list:

1. The Big Dam Bridge is a part of Arkansas’ RiverTrail System, one of the greatest in the country.  The Bridge was the longest pedestrian bridge in the world when it was built in 2006.  It is worth the walk to see the views of the Arkansas River, Pinnacle Mountain, and gorgeous sunsets from the top.

Porter’s Jazz Cafe, Little Rock, AR

Great place for brunch, jazz, and reminding us we are not far from New Orleans!

by Maddie Daniel | December 13, 2011

After a hard day at work (or Christmas shopping), sometimes a relaxing night of jazz music is just what the doctor ordered.  Porter’s Jazz Cafe in downtown Little Rock is a great place to listen to the talent Little Rock has to offer, perhaps while having an excellent cocktail or meal.

Porters is located in a historic building, and entering will take you back in time.  The French art deco furnishings, the smooth jazz, …
