Lemonade House Grille
Are you obsessed with burgers and fries like I am? I absolutely love a good burger any day of the week. I would pay alot of money for an In-N-Out burger, but alas, being in OKC we dont have one close by. So…I have been on the lookout for a local burger place that makes me just as happy. That’s where the Lemonade House Grille comes in. This little hamburger joint has some quality burgers and unique, amazing flat fries. They specialize in freshly squeezed lemonades with many flavor combinations to choose from or make your own. The Lemonade House Grille is located at 1444 N. Kelley, in Edmond. They…

Musical Swings Art
Musical Chairs are so last year! We had the privilige of visiting the art installation, Musical Swings, thats in OKC for a couple of weeks. It was such a great experience! The Swings were created by Dalytous les jours, a Montreal-based insteraction design studio. They are an exercise in musical cooperation. The swings first premiered in 2014 in Green Mountain Falls, CO and has since traveled aroudn the US. Each swing is a different note, and represents one of 4 instruments: piano, harp, guitar, and a vibraphone. Individually, each swing sounds great. However, when you swing in time with other swings, you produce different notes creating even more beautiful…

Just Keep Sewing, Just Keep Sewing….
My daughter has been begging to learn how to sew for over a year now. So after teaching her the basics…plug in the machine, turn the light on, thread the needle and press this peddle and try to sew a straight line….and that being the extent of my knowledge I decided to enlist some professional help. I found out that during the summer the Edmond Recreational Center had a sewing camp for young girls. So my daughter and her friend went. They had the nicest teacher and learned so much. They completed a new project everyday. My daughter’s love for sewing was born. When we found out that the…

Devils Den State Park So I wanted to share with you some of our favorite places that we have visited in the past. Devils Den State Park in Winslow,…

Diamond Painting to Zen…
You guys…..I found an amazing, relaxing craft. If you like the Adult coloring books, you might also love diamond painting! It involves a picture with a grid and a color key map. You get thousands of colored drills, that are like tiny rhinestones either squared or circular. You’ll receive a special tool to pick up the drill pieces to apply to the photo. You will place the tool first in some wax and then you will be able to easily pick up the drills one by one, or up to 4 pieces at a time. There is something so very OCD satisfying about placing the drills onto the grid photo.…

Crispy Tater Wedges In The Oven
Need an awesome side dish? Maybe you just want a tasty salty midnight snack!? These crispy tater wedges will hit the spot. I love to make these for my family for a side dish with dinner, but I especially love these for a late night snack. Pre-heat that oven to 450F. Peel and wedge-cut the potatoes. Toss in bowl with olive oil, salt and pepper. You can really amp them up with garlic and parmesean cheese or even with dry ranch mix. Place on a cookie sheet {I recommend putting down foil first to help with a fast clean-up} on their sides. Bake for 20-22 minutes. I dont tend to…

Smoking the Pork Butt
I LOVE PULLED PORK…..Smoked pulled pork is even better. So here we will go over smoking pulled pork at home. Last year my darling husband bought me a Masterbuilt Bluetooth Electric Smoker and I have been working on mastering the art of smoking meat. I am definitely not a master of it but I am learning and enjoying every moment of it. Yes, I named my smoker Sir Smokesalot! The app for my smoker recommended naming it, so it had to be something fun! haha First thing I do is preheat my smoker. I set the temperature to 240F to get it going while I prep my pork butt. I…
