Locks of Love 5

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 […]

Put a Cork In It 18

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 […]

Special Delivery 8

One of our friends from work recently had a precious baby boy and we wanted to do something special for her, so Amanda and I teamed up to make dinner for the proud new parents. We were inspired by an article about putting together a “Welcome to the World” meal where each dish is given […]

Making Memories at The Mayo 2

This past weekend Jason and I joined his classmates at The Mayo Hotel for Barrister’s Ball, law school’s version of prom. 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 […]

Snowmageddon Scarf 2

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 […]

Design Hound 3

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 […]

Ski Trip 2010 2

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 […]

Thankful 5

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. I hosted the big meal for the first time this year and, thankfully, it went pretty smoothly. I always imagined hosting Thanksgiving to be a really stressful and […]

Sanity Savers: Part 3 2

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 […]

Sanity Savers: Part 1 14

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 […]
