    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.

    Musical Swings Art

    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…

    Camping and Hiking

    We love to go camping!  If we could live in our camper and travel around the world we totally would be those people! Being outdoors just really rejuvenates our souls. I feel so close to God and so happy and at peace. We feel better mentally and physically. Seeing all these beautiful places is worth the cost it takes to travel.                                         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,…
