I hope you are having a relaxing Labor Day weekend! We are enjoying some quality time together before Jason starts back to law school on Tuesday. Yesterday we had a cute visitor at our house! Zoe, my friend Amanda’s little Yorkie, spent the day with us while her humans went to Norman for the OU […]

We’ve all heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I have to admit I’ve never been much of a breakfast eater (most likely because I’m not a morning person!). However, I know that when I skip breakfast it affects my energy level for the rest of the day. Over time […]

I recently read a statistic that said every minute invested in planning will save you ten minutes down the road. I can personally attest that not only does a little planning ahead help with time management, but it also saves money and reduces stress. Don’t we all want more help in those areas? Um, I […]

One of the things I miss about living in a big city are the abundant shopping options. Tulsa isn’t exactly the end of the Earth, but the choices here are much more limited than what I’d grown accustomed to while living in Austin. For instance, there is not a single Container Store in the entire state […]

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 […]

If there has ever been a month that challenged my sanity, this October has been it for sure. So, without further ado…. My second sanity-saving tip is creating a monthly menu rotation. I’ve written […]

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 […]

This weekend I decided to do something about the chaos inside my jewelry box because all my necklaces were somehow tangled together into one giant ball. (Perhaps it’s a good thing they come from Target, not Tiffany’s!) Anyway, after I spent a sweet forever unraveling them, I decided there had to be a better way. […]

Summer is a terrific time to complete a few organizing projects, especially on those triple-digit days when going outside after 7 a.m. is not even an option. While tackling some clutter this week, I was reminded of my favorite tools for corralling personal keepsakes: My mom purchased this chest from Lillian Vernon when I was […]
