When Aaron and I first got married, I really didn’t think we needed a Costco membership. My mom had one, so I knew what types of items they had, but I really didn’t think two people needed to buy a bunch of stuff in bulk. My parents gifted us a Costco membership for Christmas a couple of years ago, and…
This weekend was kind of a busy one for the Gomez fam. I was happy to wrap up some of my work projects last week, and I have one big project I fully intend on finishing this afternoon. I hope your week is off to a fantastic start, too! Friday morning started off with our virtual Board of Visitor’s meeting.…
Happy Friday, ya’ll! We made it. I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel this week. We have our virtual Board of Visitors meeting this morning, and I have another project I’m trying to knock out by Monday. If you are from Houston, you should be familiar with the Nutcracker Market.

In fact, I drove right by it every week, but in the four years we lived near Downtown, we never once explored the Houston Arboretum and…

The only option was to hold the party outside. That way, everyone could have his or her own table to carve and the ability to social…
I had zero desire to get a workout in yesterday. But, I got a quick 30-minute virtual workout in (Kira Stokes app anyone?), and it felt so good to get the body moving after sitting at my desk all day. It was one of those days where I was scheduled in back to back virtual meetings. I just got the…
I’m sure that 2020 will go down in the books as a year none of us will ever forget. When the ball dropped to close out 2019, I don’t think any of us foresaw living through a pandemic. Now, I’m a pretty optimistic person, but I’ve had my days this year where I got in my feels and started putting…
