Stillwater or Bust
A family adventure to Stillwater's WONDERtorium.

Now that the girls are three it feels like another opportunity to try new things! This is a…
Editor's note: This is part three of a three part series. Read part one here and part two here. Waking up with the official data of being pregnant did not feel real. From a mental standpoint, I understood the numbers that not only…

Editor's note: This is the first part of a three part series. Each of you now have heard of an individual having issues starting a family or know someone personally. You see stories of infertility on the news more frequently.…
It feels like 2017 is a heavy year. In another attempt to step out of my comfort zone, I decided it was time to try something new. In December Ediblend closed their location by St. John’s for two weeks while…
During the holiday season time always flies. Well, the past year went by more quickly than I would have ever imagined. We have been living on Tulsa Time for one year! Getting to celebrate the entire Christmas season in Tulsa…
The Central Library located in downtown Tulsa is rising to the top of our weekly to do list. This library location received a massive make over. Erase from your memory any thoughts you have of the downtown library. I promise…
There are moments in life when I freeze. My heart and mind want to do so much yet for some reason I am frozen. I have know Melissa Bryce Gamble since the day I was born. We each share an Aunt…
With school being back in session my mind finally decided it was time. Time for my twin toddlers to go to the chiropractor. Both of my girls pass the baton once one is sick. They were born early and do…

Tulsa offers many options for kids of all ages. But when you have two year old twins, you realize some options are not fit for your kids! We are always on the hunt for places to go before 10 a.m.…
Walking outside feels like I am walking into a steam shower. My Grams reminding me that she grew up here with no air conditioning makes me forever thankful for this invention. It also reminds me to not complain too much.…
Blythe & Reese have been in separate rooms since they were 6 months old. Reese had a series of breathing issues and ear infections. It just made sense and helped us all tally up more sleep hours. That choice to…

Water is at the top of my toddlers' lists of favorite items on Earth. Unfortunately for me, the fear factor has never been there. Last year the girls wanted to jump in every fountain they saw. It sounds a little wild, but…

Hi, I’m Jen! My five-year-old twins and I love Tulsa and like to explore places around town that are fun for kids and their parents, too. I work part time and am also involved with numerous nonprofits. My favorite show is Gilmore Girls, and java is in my hand 24/7. Raising twins, I strive to show them they are each unique and one of a kind. Hugs, embarrassing Mom dancing skills and good intentions are how I roll. I cannot recreate anything on Pinterest, but for our family, we are perfectly imperfect.
