What a 5.6 Magnitude Earthquake Feels Like Earlier this month we woke up to some major shaking on a Saturday morning.

1. What We're Eating This Week... I'm cooking two of my favorites meals this week. The temperatures are finally cooling off in Oklahoma so it's time to enjoy some of our Fall favorites.

Here's what I've read so far ( and the books I'm waiting to find in my mailbox). Pretending to Dance By Diane Chamberlain Aside from the fact that I always Continue Reading
