As many of you know, from watching every major news station in the last few weeks, Oklahoma has been torn up by tornadoes! And, I use ‘torn up’ as an understatement to reality. So many areas are, truly, disaster zones with devastation for miles. It has been heartbreaking to be so close, yet, so far, to so much of it – as you sit in your living room watching the footage and there are people, from your own state, walking around and wondering where their living room is and/or used to be. 

There is a common thread amongst the survivors, the community, the state, as well as the national news stations have witnessed it, too, and it’s “Okie Strength” and “Okie Pride”. “Okie Pride” radiates from every Oklahoman photographed, interviewed, or standing by on the sidelines. There has been a lot of question – “Why do you live in tornado alley?”, “Why don’t you leave?” And, without hesitation, Oklahomans say, “Because, it’s home”. 

With everything that has gone on, “Okie Pride” is on fire across the state! Not that it wasn’t here before, it’s just bigger, better, and stronger! Products/merchandise are popping up everywhere! Many of them, it’s their way to show support and raise money for storm relief. And, some, just for fun to show that you care about your home state and/or care about the people of Oklahoma. 

Here is just a glimpse of all the products available to show YOUR ‘Okie Pride’!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner…Summer is a comin’….

It seems like Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial-official kickoff to summer! 

So, before you head out to the lake and your pool parties, make sure you have all the necessities to have some fabulous fun! 

Summer Fun from Ribbons

The perfect pit stop, for me, is Ribbons on Peoria. It’s an adorable boutique, with a wonderland of fun, that ranges from clothing to jewelry to home decor and more. You can leave there with JUST about everything you will need for your outdoor activities. Food. You might have to go to the grocery store for food. But, Ribbons has the perfect totes and coolers to carry it in and you will look good while doing so too!

And, don’t forget about your kiddos too! You know they have grown and are going to need some new clothing and swimsuits this summer. Ribbons has you covered for the growing tots too! 

It’s a super cute store that I know you will NOT walk out empty handed! And, you will be ready for summer too! 

Happy Shopping!
