On Sunday afternoon, we drove out to Red Rock Canyon, a state park near Hinton, Oklahoma. It’s about a five-mile drive off Interstate 40. It was a beautiful day! We stopped by the Cherokee Trading Post on the way out and the Indian Trading Post on the way back home. We enjoyed a couple of...
For my son Sullivan’s 9th birthday, I threw him an adventure party in Oklahoma City’s Boathouse District. We had a lot of fun celebrating with his friends. You can see by this picture they all showed up wearing the same amazing smile. Ha! But, the best thing we gave him for his...

American Girl Doll Store Bridgette: My American Girl We visited the American Girl Doll Store in Dallas for the first time last weekend. In addition, we went to celebrate the safe end of another school year. We had a great time! Here are some pictures from our trip. Kit Kittredge American Girl Doll...
Twist me and turn me and show me an elf, I looked in the water and saw myself! The end of the school year always brings a lot of fun events like the school talent show and field day. Last week, we celebrated Bridgette’s bridging ceremony marking her passage from Daisies to Brownies. Her...
It’s not easy keeping my kids fueled up. They stay so busy with schoolwork and a variety of extracurricular activities and they are always hungry. I’m always worried about their nutrition and whether they’re getting enough of the right stuff. To ease my mind, I depend a lot on...
Boy’s First Communion We celebrated Sullivan’s First Communion on Sunday. I was so proud of him! He’s been looking forward to this all year. At the end of the day, I tucked him in bed and I said, “You’re growing up so fast. You’re becoming a young man right...
It’s Easter Weekend, one of my favorite times of the year. Doesn’t Bridgette look fantastic in her little fasicnator? Oh, I’m so proud of my baby girl! I love how the Duchess of Cambridge has inspired this new trend in hats. When I told Bridgy they were called fascinators she...
Here’s sweet Bridgy in her Daisy Girl Scout smock. I haven’t sewed her Daisy petals on yet, which has led to loads of mother guilt. She has her bridging ceremony from Daisies to Brownies in a few weeks, so I better get busy. By the way, she lost a tooth yesterday. I think this means my...
There were four of us huddled together in the same bed. Two of us were crying and two of us were not. Someone said, “Don’t Cry.” But, someone else said, “Don’t Stop.” And, then: “Let them cry their tears of grace.” I wondered what it meant and then...
We bought the Frozen DVD on Tuesday. We’ve only watched it 9,000 times since then. Awesome! Bridgy loves to sing Let It Go. Really loud. And play Frozen. All. Day. Long. I’m never letting her go!
Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas My favorite Christmas movie is The Family Stone. If you’ve never seen it, you’ve got to get yourself a copy. I watch it four or five times a season with Juliette. We love the Rachel McAdams character. This song has a special place in the...
