Happy Friday! I always get some of my best work done on Fridays – seriously. When I was working from my office in the Med Center, it was casual – so we could wear jeans every Friday. And, since many people were working schedules that allowed them to have Fridays off, it was pretty quiet in the office. Friday coffee…
Life Lately + Houston Summers
I hope you all are having a great week. I’m sharing some things that have been on my mind lately, along with some fun things to do during Houston summers.

Explore your own backyard: Biking Buffalo Bayou
I’ve done a couple of these posts about exploring some fun things to do in your own backyard. And today, I thought it would be fun to talk about one of my favorite things to do in Houston: biking. Houston might not seem like it would be a city filled with bike trails, but it has miles upon miles of…
Saying goodbye to Buttercup
Happy Monday, everyone. I wish I were here today with better news. There is really no easy way to say this either, but we had to say goodbye to Buttercup on Friday afternoon.

Before and After: Home Renovation
I promised I’d share some more about our home renovation that we needed to do after the freeze. A couple of weeks ago I shared the before and after of my home office. I’m still loving the fact that I’m back in my home office after three, long months. It dawned on me that I need to do a post…

Weekend Recap
Happy Monday – I’m back today with a recap of our relatively low-key weekend. It was raining all day Friday while I was working, so I knew that would be the perfect evening to just stay in. Aaron was on board, so as soon as I stopped working on Friday, it turned into pizza night at the Gomez house. We…
Happy Friday + Home to me
Happy Friday, friends. If you had a short week, I hope it was good to you. It’s been raining here in Houston for the greater part of the week, which tends to be an excuse for me to kind of slow down a bit. I’ve been especially nostalgic lately, especially as the fog lifts on the pandemic, and we begin…
