I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Aaron has been out of town on business since Thursday, so I’ve been flying solo. And, while I was bummed I had to miss out on this trip, I had some things that needed to get done in Houston. On Friday, I had two contractors lined up to come to house to…
Spicy Seared Tuna Bowls
Happy Thursday, friends. I’m looking forward to closing out this work week in one short day. In the Gomez household, we have been trying to switch up some of my weeknight dinner menus lately because I can tend to make the same things on repeat. So, I created a new recipe: spicy seared tuna bowls. This is based loosely off…
A Year Into the COVID-19 Pandemic
I saw this post on Shelly’s blog, and I thought it would be a fun exercise to answer these – and be able to look back and remember this time in our lives. What was life like early in 2020? January 2020 was fabulous. We were excited about the year ahead, and we made a trip to visit some of…
First pool day + protecting your backyard furniture
Happy Tuesday! My week is off to a wonderful start already. Don’t you love it when you can check some things off your to-do list? I know I sure do. One of the items on my to-do list for the month of May was to get our pool ready for the summer. Because it was covered all winter, it needed…
Celebrating our moms
How was your Mother’s Day Weekend? I know this can be a tough day for many women, and I hope that you feel celebrated no matter which stage of life you are in. And, to all the moms, grandmothers, mother-in-laws and the women in our lives who have supported us like moms: thank you. Since my mom is in California,…
Happy Friday+Crockpot Ranch Chicken Recipe
Happy Friday! I’m so glad it’s almost the weekend. It’s been a good week. Our neighbors bought some mulch in bulk, and they asked if we wanted their extra. I’ve never mulched a darn thing in my life, but Aaron says it’s good fertilizer for the soil. So, we took them up on their offer, and we’ve been mulching our…
Happy Cinco de Mayo
Happy Wednesday – and Happy Cinco de Mayo! This is one of my favorite holidays. So, in lieu of my typical “Work Wednesday” post, I figured I would share some memories of Cinco’s past. And they’ve been good ones because your girl likes a marg. So, it all started when I was in college. I went to Baylor, and Ninfa’s…
Treat Yourself
Have you ever stopped to think how the pandemic has affected you? I think in our quest to return to any sense of normalcy, that we can forget – or ignore – the stress we’ve all been through over the last year. Some of you are still working from home, some of you will be working from home forever, some…
Weekend in Review
Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend. Today is going to be one of those days that is filled with meetings. It’s hard to get actual work done when I’m in meetings all day, but luckily, my schedule clears up slightly for the remainder of the week. Here’s what’s on my agenda today: Training – new intranet Anniversary…

Here is part I, and you can read part II here. Day 3 It wouldn’t be a bachelorette…
