If you even knew what my schedule was like this week with extracurricular activities, I think you'd pass out from being exhausted. And you're not even the one doing any of these things. I still say, I have so much respect for people who have more than 2 kids. God gave me 2 hands, and I have a spouse (that makes 2 of us) to handle it all. How others do it it's beyond me. My life isn't always this busy, however this time of year it always … [Read more...]
From the Archives: Healthy Living Manifesto
Next week marks the beginning of a round of holidays coming up. I thought this post would be great to "re-share" as we are going to be seeing LOTs of food and opportunities to be unhealthy in front of us. A little reminder never hurts, right? via Now I know ALL of these things can't be done, but it's a great thing to shoot for as many as you can, right? … [Read more...]
Use This for That: Hair Conditioner
What??? Hair conditioner to shave your legs? Yup. Try it. I did when I ran out of my shave gel. Lo and behold, my legs felt silky smooth (I sound like a commercial, right? lol!) So, find a situation like this..... and bring some home with you like I did.... and your legs will thank you! … [Read more...]
Accent Tables
A cute accent table is like having the perfect accessory, but with function as well. Love cute little accent tables tucked next to the right chair, the right corner, the right place. Here are some living areas I found on Pinterest that showed some beautiful accent tables being put to good use. These little accent tables are smaller than end tables and add a cute touch to … [Read more...]
Black and Gold
One of my favorite color combos that exists is black and gold. Love it for the home. Love it in bags. Love it on shoes. Love it on clothes. Love it everywhere. And getting dressed up in a black and gold dress is classic and timeless I think anytime of year. Here's my take on a great dress from a super local retailer, Rakota Remington. I shared my love for this GREAT shop HERE. I had to wear shoes that weren't the "look good but can't … [Read more...]

4 Ingredient Mexi Chicken
Ok, 5 including the taco seasoning. Now, lemme just tell you guys, I've said it before and I'll say it again. The way I cook, I just throw stuff together, keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. Most of the times it comes out pretty good (I think!). And know this too... I come from an UBER traditional Greek family, where I did not have "casseroles" or anything with "pre made" or processed in it. This isn't a huge processed meal, but it … [Read more...]
Easy Breezy Outfit
Going from here to there, traveling by car, air conditioning, heat, humidity. Issues, right? What to wear on a day like that? Something easy breezy. Bottoms that are comfy, warm but not too hot, a lightweight top that is thin enough to not get hot in, but yet covered enough to keep you warm when you hit those highly air conditioned areas. Shoes? Something that slides off and on easy. What does that look like? Something like … [Read more...]
Weekend Fun
This weekend was the infamous OU vs TX college football game, where school spirit is an understatement. So we did what so many Oklahoman's do, and head south to the big D for a little weekend getaway. We had 4 tickets, but we decided (IIIIII decided) to do what is true to US. In other words, do what we REALLY feel like doing, not just because "everybody's doing it." So what is that you say? Well, The Mister took mini-me to the game because … [Read more...]
Thinking of Five
1. This. 2. This weekend's weather forecast high temperates is going to be in the mid to upper 80s. Really???? *#@*#&*#@%!!!! Ugh! This makes it SO hard to dress, agree? It's mid October! 3. This new show.... The Goldbergs on ABC. It's like The Wonder Years of today, meaning flashback of life. The difference is this show is set in the 80's, and for those of us who grew up then, hearing Whitesnake Here I Go Again on a tv show … [Read more...]
