AMIN here, y’all! 🎉 Today’s all about celebrating my incredible wife, Brittany! 💜

From the moment I met you, I knew you were someone special, but every year you continue to amaze me in new ways. You are not only my partner in life but also one of the hardest-working and most inspiring people I know. You care deeply for others, and you light up every time you see your patients, from the littlest ones to those facing the biggest challenges. No matter the situation, you lead with kindness, fairness, and respect.

One of the things I admire most is your love for learning. You never stop pushing yourself, whether it is diving into research, mentoring residents, or building something bigger than yourself. When most people see a problem and ask why, you look at it and say why not? That mindset is what makes you unstoppable.

You have taught me so much about patience, about dreaming bigger, and about the power of showing up for people even when it is hard. You make me a better person every single day, and I am endlessly grateful for the laughter, love, and lessons you bring into my life.

So here’s to you, Britt. To your heart, your brilliance, your courage, and your spirit. May this year bring you all the joy you pour into others, multiplied back to you a thousand times. I will be celebrating YOU today and always.

Love you forever,
Amin 💙✨

Starting our day the hip way at Hip Cafe in Fayetteville Arkansas

It’s the ultimate breakfast and brunch destination for foodies like us. With a menu that caters to everyone, including fantastic plant-based options, this place is a dream come true in Northwest Arkansas

🍳 We got here just in time for breakfast (served until 10:30), and then we couldn’t resist exploring their fully vegan-friendly sandwich menu. And let’s not forget the daily baked goods – most of them are vegan too! 😋

This place screams “Fayetteville.” It’s got that hippy spirit with funky vibes. It’s a great space for a quick breakfast or a camp out study spot. There’s plenty of available outlets and indoor and outdoor seating. It looks like the space used to be a car wash which gives it a fun and fresh layout.

🍰 Hip Cafe doesn’t stop at serving delicious meals; they’re all about spreading joy. They offer small batch catering and can craft custom cakes and treats for your special moments. Just give them a call, and they’ll work their magic!

🌏 And kudos to them for keeping their environmental commitment strong. They use fully compostable take-out wares and encourage you to stick around and enjoy the vibe.

🙏 Let’s show some love to this small business that’s making a big impact on our taste buds and the community! 💚

Culinary Adventure at The Oyster Bar

We went on a super quick trip to Little Rock, Arkansas. The main goal was a dental conference (yes, we have day jobs!) but that left us with just enough time for one superb Little Rock meal! Taking advice from local friends we found ourselves at The Oyster Bar.

Nestled in the Historic Stifft Station/Hillcrest neighborhood since 1975, this gem is a seafood lover's dream come true. 🦀🍤 From the moment we stepped in, we could tell that they mean business when it comes to freshness. Daily deliveries of top-quality ingredients ensure that every dish is a masterpiece.

But what makes The Oyster Bar extra special is its history. 🏡 The building itself, a relic from 1924, once served as a neighborhood grocery store. Fast forward to today, and it's been beautifully remodeled and restored, all while retaining its original charm with an epic patio scene.

We got the Shrimp with sides of grits and fried okra and a plate filled with calamari. If you like your grits buttery then this is the spot for you. The fried okra is seasonal and we were so thankful we caught it in season because it was a highlight of the meal. Even being far from the ocean we were impressed with the calamari.

Sometimes the dish can taste stale and rubbery but this tasted fresh from the ocean all the way to Little Rock! Has anyone been to The Oyster Bar, if so let us know what you thought and what you got in the comments!
