😅When the week is hectic and you just need a quick 😅When the week is hectic and you just need a quick, no-fuss escape with your husband, may I suggest sneaking away to historic Route 66? We did just this and finally tried out Red Light Chicken located on 11th Street—and wow, it did not disappoint! 🚗💨 I would describe it as the ultimate “no-frills, all the flavor” neighborhood spot. The energy is lively, completely unfussy, and full of that classic Mother Road charm. With plenty of easy parking right behind the building, it’s tailor-made for a spontaneous, “let’s grab a bite just the two of us” kind of evening. No reservations are required—just pure, relaxed comfort. 🍗 They served us some of the best crispy, golden-brown fried chicken I’ve had in a while. You can get their bone-in fried chicken and massive tenders regular or with some serious spicy heat! Either way, you can’t skip the Southern comfort sides. The mac & cheese and the green beans with bacon are savory perfection, and the warm honey butter rolls are delicious. It’s fast, casual, incredibly satisfying, and the perfect reminder that date night doesn’t have to be complicated to be perfect. ✨ 📍 Find them at 1401 E 11th St (Suite D) right in the heart of Route 66. #TulsaOK #Route66 #TulsaEats #DateNightTulsa #TulsaFoodie

Downtown Bixby is having a moment, and I am here f Downtown Bixby is having a moment, and I am here for it! I was so excited to look into a gym I passed recently that caught my eye. I love the idea of going to a place that’s not overwhelming and crowded— cue Push Performance Training, Bixby’s premier boutique strength and personal training facility. 🏋️ WHAT I LEARNED: Push Performance isn’t a crowded, chaotic commercial gym. It is a highly focused, results-driven space dedicated to a single mission: helping you break barriers, build functional strength, and move better than you ever thought possible. It is led by elite head coach Jonathan Catlett, and a powerful community tribe that cheers you on. I actually had the opportunity to train with Jonathan in my early 20s, and I can definitely say it was the exact catapult I needed into my fitness journey! 💼 FLEXIBLE TRAINING OPTIONS: Whether you want 1-on-1 expert eyes on you every single workout or just a comfortable workspace, they have options built for you. Plus, they offer 24/7 open gym access so that you can train on your own summer schedule, day or night!

🔥 Parents of Tulsa, welcome to the ultimate energy 🔥 Parents of Tulsa, welcome to the ultimate energy-burner! 🔥 We checked out the brand new Fun City Adventure Park, and let me tell you, my two boys pushed their limits, conquered the courses, and are currently fast asleep in the back seat. Mission accomplished. 😴🙌 If you have high-energy kids, this place is an absolute game-changer. Here is a quick breakdown of what my boys couldn’t stop talking about: • The Ninja Warrior Course & Battle Beams: They spent solid time channeling their inner stuntmen, trying to knock each other off the beams and racing through the obstacles. • The Trampolines & Foam Pits: High-flying flips, safe landings, and zero screen time involved. • Bumper Cars & Climbing Walls: There is so much packed into this indoor space that they didn’t even have time to say “I’m bored” once. My favorite part was that the facility is CLEAN, and the layout makes it easy to keep an eye on the kids while they explore. If you’re looking for the perfect weekend activity or a spot to host an epic birthday party, this is it. We will 100% be back! Check them out! @funcityadventurepark #FunCityTulsa #TulsaParents #TulsaKids #BoyMom #TulsaOklahoma
