In my opinion, good […]

My newest niece is due to make her grand debut later this month and I am over-the-moon excited about meeting her! Earlier this summer I had the honor of designing the invitations and stationery for her baby shower. The hostesses decided on a cowgirl theme, which is appropriate given the fact that my brother and […]

You know, the silly game where a folded sheet of notebook paper would predict who you’d marry, where you’d live, and how many kids you’d have? For some reason, I was reminded of them this week and thought it’d be fun to make a […]

With Thanksgiving less than a week away, I have two things on my mind: pie and a nice, long nap. Seriously, I can’t even tell you how much I’m looking forward to that after-pie nap! Apparently not much has changed over the years. My family frequently reminds me of the Thanksgiving when I was about […]

Wow, I can’t believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away! This will be my second year hosting and I’m really looking forward to it. Putting such a big meal together always seemed like an overwhelming task, but last year I learned that starting preparations a few days in advance not only makes the process […]

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 […]

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 […]
