We spent a few hours at @philbrookmuseum We saw the Frida Kahlo exhibit. The last photo was taken by a lady that approached us. She said they were taking photos of the house and caught a few with us admiring the fish pond. . . #daytrip #daytrippers #tulsa #philbrook #explore #museum (at Philbrook Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQRyUKrkWB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Subtle Sundog The difference between a rainbow and a sundog is that rainbows signal the end of rain whereas a sundog signals that rain is on the way. . . #weather #sundog #goodluck #sky #myview #oklahoma #nativeoklahoma (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChJBZsYLjja/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Newest 5 Star Review of "Fate Will Twist the Both of You." Fate Will Twist the Both of You: 1998: Sportswriter, Kate Donnelly, has just taken a new job at an entertainment-focused New York-based magazine. Before leaving on her first assignment, she is invited to a party at a family friend's house. She suspects it is set up because her dad's friend's son, Darius, will be back in town after performing on Broadway. She isn't interested in getting involved with anyone. She already endured a horrific breakup a couple of years ago that she wasn't willing to repeat. A twist: Kate learns while on her first assignment that Darius is someone that her boss desperately wants to interview for the magazine. Kate undertakes the task of trying to obtain an exclusive interview. Upon meeting Darius, she sees what's the appeal. He's attractive both inside and out. But she's on a mission but she soon finds out Darius is on a mission of his own: her. She resists him for as long as she can. LINK in BIO Available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Climbing back. The road has been rough. My husband and children help but this isn't their burden. Moving forward, I resolve to do better. I resolve to be nicer to myself. #selfcare #selflove #encouragement #aspire #aspiretoinspire (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7wnlrLbCz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Devil's Food with Vanilla Frosting The frosting was an afterthought, so I used what I had to making frosting. I chose a lattice design with the small amount I had. I piped it on with a Ziploc bag.

Daughter's Art Her words of affirmation are precious. My husband and I are doing our best to raise confident children. I guess I was having a bad day and Olive is a crafter/gift-giver. She lives making cards for people. I'm going to keep this with me. "I love you. You are kind. You are smart. You are beautiful so don't think you're not." ~Olive . . #daughter #daughterart #shehasmyheart #precious #sweetgirl #myheart #artbyalloyd #affirmations #encouragement #mommylife (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CguCFC3Lu6Y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Writer's Block just... sucks. I have ideas, then I get distracted or pulled away because I someone needs me. Then it takes so much time to get back where I was. Still working on Book 3 but to keep things from getting stagnant, I have a Book 4 WIP, too. That one comes in bits and pieces. With going back to school in August for my Master's degree, I will have less time to write. It'll all be good. I have faith everything will work out in the end. . . #authorsofinstagram #aspiringauthor #romancenovels #novelist #authorsofig #Muscogeeauthor #nativeauthor #okieauthor #okie #oklahomaauthor #writing #writingisart #writingcommunity #indieauthor #selfpublished (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgkWqL8AES-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tater Tot Waffle Benedict 🥔The tater tot waffles were a little tricky. The tots need to be thawed before putting them in the waffle iron. To speed it up, I microwaved them for 45 seconds. 🍳Eggs were baked in a muffin tin. 400°F for 12 minutes. 🥓Heated Canadian Bacon in the stove. 🥄Hollandaise sauce . . #cooking #dinner #supper #dinnerideas #yum #yummy #tasty #mealideas #cookingisfun #feelgoodfood #homemade #meals #keto #ketorecipes #ketomeals (at Broken Arrow, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFaKhzrEoD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
