One of my dreams is to fill in someday for Al Roker. I may not be living that dream yet, but one of our local kiddoes may have the chance. Her name is Sami Isler and she has made it to the semi-finals of the Today Show's search for a kid reporter. The...

Move over Punxsutawney Phil, today is a day to celebrate Dan, George and George.   Huh? You ask.   We made a big deal about Groundhog Day, but did you know today is National Weatherman's Day?   It happens every February 5th-- A day...

There's something in the air this morning... and for once, I'm not talking about the weather.   Rather, it's the buzz. The electricity and the excitment surrounding the Inauguration of our 44th President, Barak Obama.   The weather today...

    I don't know about you, but I walked to school as a kid. Whether it was 10 degrees or 100,  my mother dressed me appropriately and sent me out the door.    I envied the children who got to take the big yellow bus....

We've been spending a lot of time with the Boy Scouts this year.  They're helping us Regreen Green Country by planting trees in areas that were devastated by last year's Ice Storm.  Can you believe it's almost been a year since we suffered...

I'm going to clue you in on a on-going conversation that we have behind the scenes on 2NEWS Today.   It's about bananas.   Justin came up with the concept and Erin and I agree.   Here it is:     If you buy a...

Okay, so I owe you guys an apology, and an explanation.   Many of you have asked why it has taken me so long to blog again, basically since the December Ice Storm. The reason is simple... I've been busy getting married.   You see, in January,...

You know the old saying, "If you build it... they will come".   Build it they did, and boy did folks ever show up.   Saturday, October 11th was the first annual Soap Box Derby in Sand Springs.   The idea? Build a car. Take it to...

If you watch the weather on Channel 2, than chances are we eat at least one meal a day together, right?   You eat, what mom says is "the most important meal of the day"--  BREAKFAST-- with me. We also sometimes have lunch together.  ...

If you're reading this, then chances are you've seen the video of me with the HUGE falling tree behind. If you haven't seen it, CLICK HERE to watch the video. I know, I know… it was a very dangerous situation. I'm very lucky... and... what was I...

By now, if you've read any of my blogs, you know they tend to revolve around 2 things:          The weather…and children. This one is no different, except...        It's...

"There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, There's a bright golden haze on the meadow, The corn is as high as an elephant's eye An' it looks like it's climbin' clear up to the sky…." (Chorus…ALL SING OUT LOUD….come on you know the song!) "OOOOOhhhhh…….....

   Someone once told me, the way people feel about the weather is kind of how they feel about their hair. No one is ever happy with what they're given. If someone has straight hair, they wish it were curly. Curly haired folks want...

No doubt when it comes to the weather where we live, it's either feast of famine. Consider this statistic that Dan passed along to me for Tulsa for the past two months:   The first 16 days of July we picked up 5.76" of rain.   The...

Oh-- the things that you remember about your childhood… Isn't it funny how memories come back like little snapshots? It always makes me chuckle to think of the random things I remember about my early childhood, and this week's book compels me to tell...

Excuse me for stating the obvious. But…. Green Country is really, really, really GREEN right now. I guess it's the one bright spot in the first half of this Summer's flooding rains. I couldn't help but notice how lush everything is on a...

Okay, so this has not been a "typical" summer for us so far… but one of the things I love most about a "typical" summer is all the time you can spend outside. As a child, I remember slapping on the sunscreen and spending hours outside. We'd literally...

As a young child, I loved a good Thunderboomer, although the reason why might surprise you. Oftentimes a thunderstorm meant the power would go out, and that was a GOOD thing. Here's why: for us kids, there was nothing more magical than spending the...

Ahh-- the official start of Summer is almost here-- but for most kids-- School is out--and that means Summer is already underway. One of my most favorite Summer pastimes is reading. It's a hobby I started as a young girl through...

There's lots going on across the area this coming weekend... Country Fever in Pryor...  the Okmulgee Pecan Festival...  Hogs and Hot Rods in Collinsville... and a one of a kind event right here in Tulsa. It's called "Just Plane Fun", and...

Ahhh-- the weekend is upon us!!! I'm not quite sure who came up with the whole idea of weekends... and don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for 2 days.. but wouldn't it be nice if we could somehow extend that to 3.. and still get the day job done during...

When it comes to life, personally I can think of no greater accomplishment than that of Parenthood. There is nothing I want more someday than to be a Mother. The time, the place, the right situation hasn't come along for me just yet, but hopefully it...
