I woke up in the BEST mood and cannot stop smiling knowing I’ll be with two of my favorite people on God’s green earth this week. Lifelong memories with beautiful souls will be made. 😎✌🏻
I’m officially off work until Monday the 28th and doing my first vacay with two of my five ride or dies,
@o_wile
and
@mashsmashh
(watch out Austin 😉) in the meantime. BUT that doesn’t stop my work peeps love…. ❤️
My most valued accomplishment on this INDEPENDENCE DAY is that I am free: FREE from a man that abused me for over a decade 2) free from people’s opinions that judged me when I divorced him 3) free to to be happy with a home at peace
*LIFE UPDATE*
I am beyond thrilled and humbled to announce I'm moving home to join the
@4029news
team as a Breaking News Anchor in June! I'll definitely miss Savannah but am excited to be returning to Arkansas and be part of such an amazing team!
Even when life seems too heavy to handle, I’m remembering the sign
@TheBigGuyWJCL
keeps on the anchor desk
@WJCLNews
…
“No matter how you feel,
Get up, Dress up, Show up, and
Never give up”

Real talk…
Being a single mom is hard, especially when you work odd hours. I now have my daughter essentially full time and figuring out how to get her to school on time looked like it was going to be a struggle but I prayed about it and put it in God’s hands… 🧵
Nights without power: 3
Nights without much sleep: 6
Tornadoes that hit our area: 7
My dog going missing because of storm damage: almost endless
Having my dog home, seeing the heart of NWA while it rebuilds better than ever, and not having an alarm set for tomorrow: priceless
While at KNWA & Fox I’ve been truly blessed to work w/ some of the sweetest people imaginable. Even though the AM Crew isn’t who I normally work w/ I love them nonetheless. Thanks for sending me out in style. Especially my boo,
@TheJaclynHouse
, my homey since college. 😘
Today marks one year since a VERY momentous moment in my life and while it may still be cold outside, I am feeling the warmth and love from so many unexpected aspects of my life while the sunroof is open giving me light from all other directions. Find the joy.
Feeling festive today and wearing a “magic” dress. Who says meteorologists can’t wear green? 🤣
Thankful for our director Kourtney, who spent a minute making sure I could pull it off and not “key out.”
Quick shout out to my teammates: my boss offered me a hotel room but the Marriott wouldn’t allow my dog so I declined. Once our engineers heard, they arranged for me to be picked up at my house tomorrow. I’m feeling very blessed right now. Stay safe everyone! See you in the AM!
Two internal and 7 external stitches later, I am officially home, curled up with my sweet girl, and have my very own Harry Potter lightning bolt wound. 😂
Moment of bragging: I didn’t shed one tear through any of it (the injury or treatment). I credit my daughter’s presence. ❤️
With Severe Weather Season getting kicked off, it’s unbelievably important to have a plan- even if you’re traveling. If you’re at an airport, find a windowless interior space or bathroom to seek shelter.

@TaraBull808
And ALL of this is why
@KeaunuReeves
will always and forever be my celebrity crush. His heart and soul still bring so much love and light into the world even after experiencing so much devastating heartbreak and pain ❤️
🎶Reunited and it feels so good🎶
@4029Phil
and
@YunaLeeTV
have your top headlines,
@4029Majestic
has your latest forecast and I’ve got breaking news to get you caught up on before you head out the door.
#SeeUsNow
Brunch with one of the best people you can have the honor of knowing? Yes, please! It was priceless getting to catch up with the one and only
@Rick_Katzfey
❤️ And I swear we barely even talked about the weather 🤣
Drop a ❤️ if your pet can communicate with you better than any person even if they can’t speak words. It’s been a tough couple of days with the loss of a loved one but my dog knows and won’t leave my side.
In honor of it being
#BillMurray
day, I mean
#GroundhogDay
, I had to throw on my favorite new Tshirt from one of the nicest viewers ever. Thanks again for sending this my way,
@HRTarver25
! P.S. Hope you got to get some golf in today, sir! 💚
Everyone missing loved ones this holiday season, know you are not alone. We lost my Uncle Mike this year and as I stand in his study, I still see him there and hear his voice. It’s comforting and sad all in one. He would want me to find only joy in it. Hope you find the joy too.
It’s Finally Friday but it’s bittersweet. Today we say goodbye to
@cfryenewsguy
and wish him and his fantastic family good luck as they start a new chapter in their lives in Cleveland. You’re pretty fly for a Frye guy! Anyone else love the ‘90s pose?! 😂
One of my closest friends who doesn’t live anywhere near here just sent me these with a card that said “Happy birthday, M! Better early than late. :)”
Moment of truth… first time I’ve been sent flowers in over two decades and it made me cry.
True friends are priceless. ❣️
Our Master Control Operator, Greg, doesn’t just regularly send me dad jokes, he does a great job of being the Station Dad too. Today he brought in a breakfast casserole to warm the morning crew from the inside out. ❤️
Update: still have fever, chills and body aches but am better. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out to check in on me, whether it’s a quick “How are you feeling today?” To “Can I get you anything? Or run an errand for you?” It means the world. Thank you. ❤️
My weekly “If you keep spoiling me like this, no man is ever going to want me” came today when I got into the vehicle and our photojournalist Sean already had my seat warms going.
His response, “Nah… people need to get better about doing the little things for each other”
#TRUTH
Just had one of those moments where I had a question and wanted to ask a loved one for the answer but realized they died a couple of months ago. Not the first time it’s happened in my life and I doubt I am alone.
Thank you to everyone who recommended churches for me and my children to try out. The search is officially over. Not surprising to me that it still involves a drive down to Fayetteville but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do when you find where you belong. ❤️
What it looks like after doing the 5 & 6pm shows yesterday and then getting called in early for the morning shows today because of cyber crap. It wore out my little poodle 🤣
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, my friends! I never take selfies and the one time I try to the man, the myth and the legend
@DWilliamsWJCL22
tried to sneak up on my in the live truck so this is what you get. 🤣🍀
Current mood: “I’m not spoiled. I’m well loved.”
But when you get back to your desk after the shows and find that the Assistant News Director unexpectedly brought you
@ChickfilA
, how can you not feel beloved?! ❤️
My career will never be more important than my family but the way God has put people in my life who have offered and in Kendall’s case volunteered to help and make sure I can do two full time jobs (being a mom and having a career) has been a blessing beyond belief.
Psalms 105:1
We’re live in the River Valley all morning collecting turkeys to help out families in our area this holiday season! Make sure you stop by, say hi, and donate a turkey to help out your neighbors in need!
Today’s cold front may have brought frigid temps and brutal winds but it also gave us a beautiful sunset. Check out these gorgeous colors!

The fact that I can still make my coworkers laugh even though I personally/professionally feel like I’m at my worst warms my heart more than you know.
#CircadianRhythmIsAskew
I hope and pray each of you has a friend in your life like
@o_wile
, who while you can have the heaviest and deepest of conversation it always end with a laugh and an I love you. Find someone who looks at you like we look at each other always and forever. ❤️
Driving home from my ex’s today with my daughter she saw a car with bumper stickers and said, “If I ever had a sticker on the back of my car it would say ‘Believe in yourself. Positive vibes only.✌🏻!’ ” ❤️
Followed by: “You’d probably have a weather sticker or dog sticker.” 🤣
After walking out of the studio just now and finding a random hash brown on my desk from our Asst. News Director Katie, I decided I’m not spoiled just well loved. I hope and pray each of you feel loved today too!🥰
My daughter just asked me, “Why do seagulls not fly over the bay?”
Me, “Why?”
Her, “Because then they’d be bagels.”
Then immediately she said, “Someone made a fitness app for insects but they still haven’t worked out the bugs.”
Recently discovered my 8 year old daughter has been using my anti wrinkle moisturizer after getting out of the shower every morning before school. Between the moisturizer and what I consider a pretty good gene pool, by my calculations she should look 40 when she turns ~73. 🤣
UNBELIEVABLE! I went to a local retailer today and there was still milk and bread! I'm wondering if people realize we're under a Winter Weather Advisory and expecting a couple inches of snow north of the tunnel?
Been on a Greek food kick lately. Made spanakopita last week (which a coworker said was like a party in their mouth 😂) to making gyros today with extra taziki of course. Starting to think my subconscious wants me to get away from this weather and head to the Mediterranean. lol
Happy Mother’s Day! The last several days have officially gotten me “back to my roots.” And as a single mom trying to juggle countless seemingly endless balls, I couldn’t be more grateful for every single little thing that has made this a near perfect experience.
My birthday isn’t until tomorrow but someone decided to brighten this dreary day by surprising me early! Thanks,
@ChelseaHelms1
! She knows me too well: a new dress, beautiful earrings & tumblers! I’m feeling loved & spoiled too! You’re the best! 😘

Friday night includes a sick baby using me as her personal pillow and servant. But as a mom, I will never complain about either of those roles when illness is involved. ❤️
This classic French onion soup features sweet onions simmered to perfection, creating a rich and savory broth. Topped with melted Gruyère cheese and served with toasted baguette slices, it’s a comforting and flavorful dish that’s sure to please.😉
