I love OXO products. They make really functional – and easy to use – tools. As part of the pantry organization project, I realized that I needed a better storage system than plastic bags. See what I mean? Not-so-great (and kind of messy) storage: Enter Oxo’s POP Containers! Airtight, stackable and easy to open and […]

I’ve Found a New Secret Getaway
The Boy and I found a new getaway over the weekend – a spa that’s not super crowded and only costs $18 for the day. That’s right: $18 for 24 hours. Here’s the catch: it’s a Korean spa. King Spa and Sauna is tucked away in the Korean section of Dallas, amidst discount import stores […]
Fun Place 2
After our delicious sushi lunch, we headed to the clapboard house next door. It’s now home to Sara Sara Cupcakes. Before I mention the cupcakes…how fun is their brand? Loving the hot pink mixed with the white. It’s everywhere, inside and out. And even better is the back story to the shop that I uncovered […]
Fun Place 1
We met up with The Boy’s old friend, Philip, to collect our OKC Marathon packet and enjoy catching up on 20 (!!) years of past history over lunch. Philip suggested a new local sushi joint, the Pachinko Palace. Why? Because he had a pachinko game growing up and thought the name was fun. Plus it […]
Help for Beauty Flunkies
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, I am a Beauty Flunkie. It’s hard for me to follow directions for the latest beauty trend and it’s hard for me to remember to touch up my makeup throughout the day. Let’s not even talk about remembering to put on lipstick! Don’t look, Ethel! Those […]
48 Nights in Review
Last night gave me an opportunity to cross yet another item off my 101 List – #19, Dine in a Guerrilla Restaurant. Are you getting the idea that I structured my 101 list to be infinitely do-able? Yes, well, that was kind of the idea! The Boy and I, along with friends, headed to 48 […]
101 Things: Thing 1
We’re already a week into March and it’s high time I started my 101 Things list. Thinking of what I’ve wanted to do has been infinitely more difficult than I expected. The essence of a 101 Things list is to identify things you’ve never done before – but wanted to, or things that you’ve thought […]
Review: Cowtown Diner
While our men were off running a marathon, BFJ’s wife, Stacie, and I checked out a local Fort Worth diner for breakfast. That’s the way to live, eh? Y’all go run…we’ll go eat country cooking! Anyway, we’d heard good things about a new joint, the Cowtown Diner. It was convenient to our hotel…but even if […]
Gold Stars All Around
We’re folks who operate on our own timetable. That means we DVR nearly everything and catch up on our favorite shows when we have time. So last night we finally sat down to watch Sunday’s premiere of Undercover Boss. Wow! Fantastic reality show – for now anyway. Until it gets old and tired (like The […]
Attitude of Gratitude: Best of the Best Edition
You know, there are just certain things in life that cause unwanted stress. Things like car repairs, house repairs and body repairs. Anyone can find the best place to buy electronics. Or an excellent sushi restaurant. But the thought of shelling out (potentially) lots of money on something that matters a great deal, well, that’s […]
