Becky Walker
I fell in love with my husband, Dustin, when I was a wide eyed 15 year old. I have been a mostly loving wife since June 5, 2010, and a mom since February 16, 2012. I live right by Tinker AFB, and I have three little ones- Lyla, 6, Karrick, 2, and our bonus baby Juliet, almost 1 year old! Along with serving as Community Engagement Manager for OKCMB, I work part time from the closet under our stairs teaching English to Chinese students early in the morning! The most relaxing part of my day is when I drink my whole cup of coffee -HOT- while it’s still dark, and the rest of my house is still and quiet. During the day, the kids and I are out and about, exploring the city and avoiding the laundry. I do my very best to run a happy and healthy household for my husband and the little people God has entrusted to me.

My Husband is a Better Parent than Me
Before the birth of my first, I just knew I would be a totally chill free range parent. I would allow my daughter to try new things without interfering and accept that bumps and...
Toddler-isms: My Baby Said WHAT?!
My daughter is about three and a half years old. Her name is Lyla, and until last week, she couldn’t say her “L” sound correctly. We never stressed about Wywa learning the correct pronunciation,...
Dear Mom, Thanks for Fighting
Before 2014, I knew little about breast cancer. Though most people I knew had someone in their life touched by breast cancer, my awareness of the disease did not go far beyond the pink ribbons or the occasional...
How I Got My Toddler to STOP Asking “Why?”
I recently read an article claiming that moms are asked, on average, 23 questions per hour by their preschool aged children, (or about 300 per day if you're staying home)! As the mom of...
Potty Training Stinks!
So far in my 3.5(ish) years of parenting, I have found that the trials I have struggled with most are the ones I was completely arrogant confident about pre-children. I worked in child care...
Even Mamas Make Mistakes
After a hot summer day out running errands, my daughter, Lyla, and I walked through our front door. Her three year old self bounded cheerfully down the hall from the entryway to the kitchen,...
My Mid-Del Summer Bucket List
The OKC metro has so many wonderful communities! When my husband and I decided to purchase the house he grew up in, in Del City, I wasn't really sure what the area had to...
Don’t Wait…Celebrate!
Finding out about our second pregnancy was just as exciting as finding out about our first. With our first baby, we didn't tell our family until 8 weeks, and friends didn't follow until weeks...
