Lions, did you know pigs can’t look up at the sky?
Neither can we right now… too busy looking ahead at all the awesome coming our way!
ROAR STOPPER ALERT! Big THANKS to everyone who came out and made 'kids on the lake' another heart-melting, chaos-filled, fish-scented masterpiece. From tangled lines to untangled hearts, you brought the magic. We love to see it.

The Hannahgram: Hog-Tied & Thriving
This weekend, I shot my first hog. Named him Winnie (because why wouldn’t I emotionally bond with the target?), and then dropped him with a single shot. Grew up deer hunting, but nothing prepares you for that moment when your pork roast charges out of the brush like he owns the place. Anyway, Winnie’s in hog heaven now, and I’m one step closer to being completely unrelatable at brunch!
