Hiking Oklahoma: Kite Trail

While the rest of the Internet has fully embraced fall, southwest Oklahoma can’t seem to make up its mind. Some days don’t get above 50°F and others we’re still seeing high 80’s. So when we found ourselves with a warm day, we headed straight for the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and checked out Kite trail!

Fall Bucket List Check-In

Happy fall!! I hope everyone is enjoying cooler temps, pumpkin carving, and whatever else you do to live it up in autumn. We only just got cooler weather in past week, but I am so glad it finally arrived. How’s your fall bucket list going?

Slow Cooker Tomato Soup

Tomato soup is an absolute classic, and what could be better than an easy homemade version?? I grew up on the Campbell’s can, but I love that this version doesn’t have any chemicals – just basic ingredients and a set-it-and-forget-it process!

Hiking Oklahoma: Elk Mountain

One of the great advantages of moving west is a change of hiking scenery! My east coast self equates hikes with forests, rivers and mountain views. Here in Oklahoma it’s more cacti and rocks, but we’ve still managed to find some mountain views at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge Elk Mountain trail.
