It’s crunch time, people.  Just a few days til our Fall Issue goes up, and we couldn’t be more excited (except maybe if we were actually finished with it!).  It’s one of our most colorful, which always means it’s one of my favorites.  AND, the featured couple are some of my favorite people around.  Check back Monday and enjoy!

While we are working, you should browse:

Or actually, Tulsans, please browse after you go check out  Guthrie Green  - the new park that just opened in the Brady Arts District!  They will have festivities all weekend (music, art, etc.) and the weather looks to be gorgeous!

It’s getting cooler, but maybe not quite enough yet for a campfire.  Until you’re ready to really roast those marshmallows, check out this S’mores Krispies recipe.  This is happening soon at my house.

I’m a little obsessed with the Land of Nod Blog lately.  So many great ideas!  Not that I need it, but I thought this DIY Dollhouse was way cool.

Speaking of my obsessions, I’m in the midst of a major gallery wall revamp in my house.  To mix frame colors or not to mix?  To put paintings next to photos?  To add in shelves for tchotchkys?  My brain hurts.  Which do you like best?

And finally, to get you in the mood for Monday’s Fall Issue…the home belongs to an architect and a designer that just got married.  Could you date an architect?

See you back here Monday!

Road Trip time! The Prairie Hive gang is hitting the highway this weekend with a road trip to be featured in our Fall Issue (check back on September 10 to see our destination!).  With summer drawing to a close, my guess is there are lots of families out there doing the same before school starts.  Whatever your destination is this weekend (even a hammock in the back yard) – here are some great finds from this week!

Speaking of road trips…a great guide for families with kids from the Land of Nod blog!

While we’ve still got a few weeks of sandal weather left…check out these DIY fabric sandals.

If you’re craving a s’more…here’s an upgrade, made indoors.  (Although it’s actually cool enough now for a fire!)

Looking for a spot for my Okie Chalkboard…

I’m a huge Roald Dahl fan…who knew he had a cookbook?  Sounds very charming, and a good read as well.

Enjoy the wonderful weather and have a great weekend, everyone!

It seems like this week has been all about vacations, be it road trips or cross country treks.  Did you take some time off?  After probably the most low key celebration ever this week (which was exactly what my busy household needed!), it was back to the grind around here…

Between fireworks and veggie burgers, I did manage to find these:

Adorable DIY Tie Dye Sheets.

I can’t decide which I love more, the ceiling or the bar cart.

Gorgeous agate clocks.

Just the dessert for that bin of blueberries in my fridge.

Put these on my shopping list: Mad Scientist Blocks.  (Although I don’t think my 6 month old will understand “N”anotechnology for a while)!

Enjoy the last bit of your holiday week!!

Well, it’s here.  Starting today, it looks like the temps are going to hover around the 100 mark for the next week or so….and all of us Okies are crossing our fingers that we aren’t in for another record-breaking summer like last year.  What are you doing to keep cool?

If you’re lounging inside…here are some of my faves from this week to keep you busy:

An INSANE popsicle recipe roundup.  Coconut Nutella or Carrot Cake + Almond Butter Pops anyone?

I’m totally inspired by Emily Henderson’s office organization.  Almost enough to start mine…

DIY of the week: Gold Tube Bracelets.  Perfect for people like me who are kind of afraid of the bead store.

So I tried these this week: Refrigerator Oats.  Good, in kind of a weird way.

And just to make you smile…Hey Girl, how about those dishes?
