I was recently invited to attend an event at The Mayo Hotel in downtown Tulsa sponsored by CP Solutions, one of my local print vendors. Had I known that I’d be asked for an interview, I might have put on some lipstick.

You know what one of my very favorite things about spring and summer is? Shopping for fresh produce at the farmers’ market! Call me a weirdo, but it’s seriously more exciting than a trip to the candy store for me. I’m so thrilled that our local farmers’ market opens for the season in a couple [...]

Happy Founders Day to all my Delta Gamma sisters! Yesterday I celebrated 139 years of DG sisterhood with these beautiful faces. My favorite part of Founders Day is always looking around the room filled with amazing women of all ages and backgrounds, and realizing that we’re each united together in the bonds of Delta Gamma. Whether [...]

One of the things I miss about living in a big city are the abundant shopping options. Tulsa isn’t exactly the end of the Earth, but the choices here are much more limited than what I’d grown accustomed to while living in Austin. For instance, there is not a single Container Store in the entire state [...]

The Mayo is a gorgeous historic hotel in downtown Tulsa that was recently renovated after being abandoned for 20 years. It was built in 1925 at the height of Tulsa’s oil boom and hosted [...]

Thanks to the record-setting snowstorm that blanketed Oklahoma this week, we still have about a foot and a half of snow on the ground at our house. While I’ve quite enjoyed being snowed-in for a few days, cabin fever has definitely started to set in now (although, I certainly can’t complain about being stuck indoors [...]

“Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” – Joe Fox (Tom Hanks) in You’ve Got Mail Well, it doesn’t exactly feel like fall here in Tulsa, Oklahoma but that back to [...]

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate most about Tulsa is its rich architectural history. The city has some really fabulous buildings, many of which were built by wealthy oil tycoons in the first half of the 20th Century when Tulsa earned its reputation as “Oil Capital of the World”. The discovery of oil [...]

We’re here! Actually, we’ve been full-fledged Tulsans for about a week now. And what a week it has been! First, with the help of family and friends, we packed all our earthly possessions into this U-Haul truck. The following morning, we closed on our home in Austin then began our trek up to Tulsa. Our [...]
