Sister Trip to Pawhuska, OK Part 2: Where We Stayed; What We Did; What We Wore
In part 2 of my Pawhuska recap, I’m going to share the remaining details about the trip my sister and I took a few weeks ago. If you saw part 1, I shared all about the food! The food really did deserve a post all its own. We did, however, do a few more things…

Sister Trip to Pawhuska, OK Part 1: THE FOOD
My sister, Monica, and I spent a weekend in Pawhuska, Oklahoma-our 3rd and favorite sister trip we’ve taken. We spent a weekend in Eureka Springs one year and stayed in the haunted Crescent Hotel. Another year, we went to Laurel, Mississippi, and ate the best greens and cornbread. Those trips were great, but it’s hard…

Spring Break in Fayetteville, AR
Over spring break, we spent a few days in Fayetteville. Tylar flew into Fayetteville with UK softball for their series against the Razorbacks, so we made the much quicker trip there to see her. Before getting into Fayetteville, we had so much fun in Fort Smith at Temple Live seeing Geoff Tate in concert (originally…

Tiger Apparel
I’m still a sports mom. While Brodie doesn’t focus on sports with the intensity of Tylar (it’s not the focus of his entire life), he is still on the basketball, golf, and this year baseball teams at school. After awhile, I always feel like I’m in a rut when it comes to what to wear…

Snow Day
Living in the great South means that snow is fairly rare. I remember Scout seeing snow for the first time in To Kill a Mockingbird and thinking the world was ending. While it isn’t that unheard of in this part of Arkansas, it still isn’t part of our routine. Tornado warnings are routine. I would…

Jesus is King!
Last weekend in Lexington, I attended church with Tylar and Grant, and the sermon was about government and Christianity. Ooh, that could have been sticky! Instead, it was such a good reminder of our role as citizens of a country and our role as God’s children. Both are important: one is the most important of…

Outfit Ideas for Work
Since I’ve started my new job after retirement, (yes, weird), I began keeping up with some of my work outfits. For many of them, I used either tops or pants that I had owned for years, but I did add in a few new pieces. Here are some tops I wore with my Worthington black…

Our Visit to Lexington
Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Lexington, KY to see Tylar and Grant. It was so nice getting to see them both, along with Koda. We went to eat at several unique restaurants, toured the Buffalo Trace Distillery, drove through the rolling hills to see the gorgeous horse farms, and walked around the Distillery…
