This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Today I wanted to combine two of my favorite things, breakfast and dessert, to make one mouthwatering dish: Blueberry French Toast Shortcakes! I was sent juicy blueberries from Rainier Fruits so I decided to make my favorite homemade blueberry pie filling. Then I added sweet cubed brioche bread and whipped cream and voila!
Dessert is served!

It’s #SummerDessertWeek and I’ve teamed up with 25 amazing bloggers and 6 wonderful brands to bring you more than 70 summer dessert recipes and 6 awesome prizes!

🌳 ✨️NWA Must See : Listening Forest by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. 
My family and I had the pleasure of experiencing this nighttime interactive exhibit at @crystalbridgesmuseum last week. It was unlike anything we have ever done before and we spent two fun filled hours exploring the lighted forest and all the lights, music, sculptures, and sounds within. Hands down one of the best experiences we have had so far in Arkansas!

It's #WhatchaReadingWednesday (a day late, whoops!). I was so excited to find this Choose Your Own Adventure book at @samsclub and it's a #StrangerThings story! I loved these books growing up and I am super excited they are making a comeback. This easy read is perfect for throwing in your bag and picking up anytime you have a break and want to read a chapter or two of a story. Super excited to read this one and you know I plan of reading all 25 endings! ✨️
