Y’all. I just cut my hair for the first time in a year! Last summer my sweet mother-in-law lost her hair as a result of chemotherapy. I told her that I wanted to grow mine out, and that I would make a donation to Locks of Love in her honor. In order to donate, your […]

For Earth Day this year, Anthropologie created an entire theme around recycled wine corks and even hosted a “Crafting with Cork” day in many of their stores. After receiving the invite, I immediately called to reserve my spot at the event and was asked how many children I would be bringing with me. “Ummm…..ZERO?!” Then […]

The Mayo is a gorgeous historic hotel in downtown Tulsa that was recently renovated after being abandoned for 20 years. It was built in 1925 at the height of Tulsa’s oil boom and hosted […]

Thanks to the record-setting snowstorm that blanketed Oklahoma this week, we still have about a foot and a half of snow on the ground at our house. While I’ve quite enjoyed being snowed-in for a few days, cabin fever has definitely started to set in now (although, I certainly can’t complain about being stuck indoors […]

We recently welcomed a furry new member into our family….a 5-month-old(-ish) Chocolate Lab puppy! My brother rescued this cutie after it was dumped on the side of a country road and fell into a deep hole where it was trapped. (Luckily Trent was working nearby and heard him barking!) Since my brother and sister-in-law already […]

I cherish days like today! It is cold and snowing outside, so we are snuggled up at home by the fire. Watching the snowflakes fall reminded me that I still needed to post the video from our holiday vacation. Jason and I spent the week after Christmas skiing in Park City, Utah, where several feet […]

Well, now that the leftovers are in the fridge and the china is washed and safely stowed away, I can finally sit down to recap our Thanksgiving.

When my besties Christian and Bethany were in town last weekend they were laughing about the random assortment of items I keep in my car and decided I needed to blog about it. So you actually have them to thank for this post! Before I show you the junk in my trunk, let me first […]

The past few weeks have been especially hectic around our house with Jason starting law school and me beginning a new full-time job. Thank goodness we only have a dog and a cat to keep alive; several of hubby’s classmates have young kiddos and I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be […]
