I had the chance to listen to a webinar a couple of weeks ago, and the topic was managing work-life boundaries during COVID-19. We are all facing so many challenges with the onset of COVID-19. Everyone is struggling, but in different ways. Whether you have children or no children; Maybe you are caring for elderly parents. Maybe you are having…

The Bachelor Recap: The Women Tell All
Before I get into the recap of the Women Tell All, we need to address a couple of things. Bachelor nation has undergone some changes over the last several weeks. It seems like Chris Harrison is out, Emmanuel Acho is in. Rachael Kirkconnell was canceled and Rachel Lindsay is off instagram. It’s clear that that the show is in need…
House update
If you are new around here, you can read some background on what is going on with my house here. While we have made some good progress over the last week, there is still a lot that needs to be done. Three of our bedrooms, including our master bedroom, were unaffected, so we are able to remain in our house…
Easy 15 Minute Lunch (or Dinner) Recipe: Italian Pasta Salad
Since Aaron and I are both working out of our home (for the most part), and we now have a major renovation on our hands, lunches need to be quick and easy. I’m trying not to get a ton of dishes dirty right now because our water will be off once during the repipe. So, I figured I’d share a…
Work Wednesday: Three Ways to Prevent Burnout
Back to semi-regular scheduled programming. I am by no means a house restoration expert, and while I do plan to share what’s been going on in my personal corner of the world, this isn’t a space dedicated solely to home renovation.

Ways to help I’m going to lump this post into ways you can give…
My thoughts and recovery from Winter Storm Uri in Houston, Texas
When I last posted, on Friday, February 12, things looked a whole lot different. We knew that we had the possibility of snow headed to Houston, but we didn’t really know what would lie ahead. We were wildly unprepared, and this comes from a girl who is pretty well prepared in most circumstances (hurricanes, earthquakes, etc..). Here I am, more…
Second COVID-19 Vaccine + Valentine’s Days in Years Past
Happy Friday ya’ll. Remember this gorgeous weather Houston was having earlier this week? When Aaron and I were spending our evenings outside? Houston weather Yeah – that didn’t last long. This weekend we are in for some cold weather, and we might even get some snow on Monday. I would love to see some snow, but meanwhile, we are prepping…
Heart Healthy Month + What we’ve been up to
Many of you probably know that February is American Heart Month, or the month where we take a deeper dive into our cardiovascular heath. Heart disease remains to be the No. 1 killer of Americans, and because I have a family history (my dad’s side of the family has had some heart issues over the years), it’s a perfect time…
4 Tips to Maximize your Productivity While Working from Home
Raise your hand if you are still in the working from home group, or what I like to call the WFH group. Well, that makes (at least) two of us. In fact, it’s been nearly a year since I cleared out my office down in the Med Center – and moved it all into the dining room in our old…
