Infamous tornadoes, blistering summers and ice storms that rival Elsa’s. What good things could anyone say about Oklahoma weather? Well, as an Okie transplant that’s lived in many states and traveled to many more, I happen to love the seasons here…within reason. I love the progression each year brings and the unique gifts proffered […]
When my oldest son started school, I quickly realized that with the busyness of the school year, there wasn’t a lot of time to make magical memories and I became a little bit obsessed with squeezing all of the special activities I could think of into our ten weeks of summer vacation. Cue the exhausted and […]
I don’t know about you, but as a mom of littles it can be hard to find time for me to find time for my spouse—let alone myself! The only time we get is in the wee hours of the morning (and I’m NOT a morning person to say the very least), or in the […]
We are in the home stretch of this school year, and if you’re anything like me, you might be mildly panicking at the thought of keeping your kids from whining “I’m bored” every two minutes for the next three months. To preserve my sanity, a friend and I decided on themes for each weekday to […]
School is almost out and summer is right around the corner! It’s the perfect time to make new friends, and spend some time outside! We would love for you to join us and our Neighborhood Playgroups for our SECOND annual summer park hop series! Park Hops are free play dates for mamas and kids of all ages! […]

And there’s sooooo much more to do with pesto than just putting it on pasta. Below is a quick and easy […]
I have a confession to make: I wish I had been a party-planner. Every single thing about it thrills me! The planning of themes and menus, the invitations, the decorating, and most of all the coming together of friends… It’s all wonderful. Before I became a stay-at-home-mom to three little people, I was a public […]
The morning air is crisp, soft with dew. The sun warms our skin, and the foliage begins to turn a deep green. Ahhhh spring is finally here, and it’s time to bring out the gardening gloves and dig into the rich soil. Gardening can be a cathartic, therapeutic experience. It’s so rewarding to sow […]
To camp or not to camp, that is the question. Sorry, Shakespeare, but for me, there is no dilemma. Camping ranks right up there with the Zombie Apocalypse for fun. I will participate if it’s a life or death survival situation, but otherwise—um, no. My social media feeds are brimming with photos of smiling families […]
