To all the mamas out there... We finally GET IT when we become one. Agree? Greatest love of all! … [Read more...]
Basic Black and White
Classics are classics because they are just that. You can never go wrong by putting together some classic pieces and look stylish and look put together no matter what the occasion. Dress it up or down with your accessories and tweak it to your liking and your personal style. But in my opinion, a crisp white shirt and simple black skirt is one of my can't-go-wrong outfits every girl needs in her wardrobe. My key to take it from OK to WOW is 2 … [Read more...]
Mother’s Day Sponsor Love
Our heads are spinning for ideas for Mother's day, which is less than a week away, and I'm always FULL of wonderful ideas of what I know I'd love (other than no back talk, listen to me, and just let me have some peace and quiet! LOL!). From the beauties at Luxe Objects... bracelets for layering…. cute little dishes to put beside her bed or sink to put the bracelets … [Read more...]
Sopapilla Cheesecake
On the morning after Cinco de Mayo, it does seem that this is coming a day late. However, I was a bit too excited with yesterday's news I was sharing, AND I thought I might let you recover from all of your margaritas and tacos. Today I'm sharing with you something I learned at camp. Yes. At camp. Last week. Not a peace song, Not a new secret handshake. This. This was the VERY last piece of Sopapilla … [Read more...]
#WesternAveOKC #WesternAveScout
Don't be fooled if you don't recognize the number. Answer your calls. Because this is what happened to me. For real. I get this call a few weeks ago and the area code was not 405, nor was it one that I knew my family resided in, so I was like, hmmmmm… a solicitor. Screening it. Nope. Not gonna take it. Then I was like, just answer it. So I did. The lady asked for me, and I, on the defensive said, "who is calling????" and she sweetly … [Read more...]
Friday’s Fabulous Five
Five things that are pretty stinkin fabulous as I'm thinkin about this past week…. 1. The most spontaneous things are some of the best things in life. Agree? 2. I feel like there are higher forces that be at work here…. in other words, things happen the way they are SUPPOSED to happen…. even if it all seems chaotic… it's ok... (This would be me "bumping into" my other half with my son and two other boys in the middle of … [Read more...]
#TBT: Camping Out
This is where you get the auto responder message, and yup. I'm out of the office. Camping, yet again, with my daughter…. Got the LITERALLY last minute call, on the eve of the big departure about 5:30 pm, so OFF in a whirlwind I go! Three years in a row, gone camping with the little miss…. … and loving every minute of it. #pricelessmoments … [Read more...]
S’mores Waffles
You read that right. S'mores waffles. I didn't come up with this one. Actually, I heard this at the salon last week as I was getting my hair cut and colored (and as my mom would say as I was growing up, "I heard it at the beauty shop!"). The gal next to me was saying she was at the Arts Council Festival of the Arts the night before and had the MOST amazing s'mores waffles. My ears PERKED up. I'm like whaaaaaaaaa? ya. I said, "sorry not … [Read more...]
Does Your Cell Phone Have You Covered?
This weekend entailed a trip down I-35 to Plano, Texas for a soccer tournament, and amongst all of our gear that we had with us, the one thing we could NEVER forget is our LIFELINE of all lifeline: our cell phone. This issue that is up for discussion today is one that has slowly "annoyed" me more and more with each trip I venture down this strip of highway. It's not that I cannot live for 3 hours without my phone, but for the mere fact that we … [Read more...]
Finding Love in What You Do
The word "work" can be interpreted in so many ways. When many think about the word "work", it can have a negative connotation that goes with it…. like an exertion of labor. Something you HAVE to do…. {grunt!} And we can all agree, that those of us who have a job of sorts, technically speaking, we "work", right? It makes sense, right? Do you love what you do? Then it probably doesn't feel like work all … [Read more...]
