When you live in an ever-growing metroplex and want a small escape from that life, heading into the country is the best remedy. So that’s what I did. Earlier this year I found myself in the Texan wine country, Fredericksburg, and since then I dreamed of coming back with my beloved for a quick weekend…

My Stay at The Marriott at Legacy Town Center
One of my favorite things to do is play tourist in my own hometown. There’s just something about packing for a trip that gets me excited, even when that trip is just a 20 min drive to a neighboring city. Recently, Norberto and I had the surreal pleasure of staying at the Dallas/Plano Marriott at…
Gone with the Summer Wind
My favorite thing about the changing of of the season is reflecting on the memories this past season has brought… and embracing all that is coming. The kids are back in school and pumpkin spice everything is already hitting shelves everywhere, a bit early for my fancies; but it feels like summer is packed up…
End of Summer Beach Trip
This past weekend my little one, Norberto, and I packed up our bags and our puppy and drove south all the way down to Port Aransas. Its almost that time of year when the kids go back to school, and we hadn’t taken a single family trip yet this summer. With Norberto’s busy work schedule,…

A Stay at the Murchison-Honaker House
Few places inspire awe and reverence like the Murchison-Honaker House. Nestled in the historical town of Farmersville, this Victorian style home built in the 1800’s greets you and provides an enchanting escape into another era. I had the pleasure of calling this place home for a ladies retreat earlier this month and still dream about…
Embracing What Is
I wanted to create a photograph that reflects how I’ve felt my 2018 went, and how in 2019 I am choosing to accept it as such. Embracing what is seemingly out of place, yet understanding it is exactly where I am supposed to be in life.More than that, I wanted to create something that inspires…
A Holiday Greeting
As we celebrate the ending of 2018 and begin prepping our agendas for all that 2019 will bring, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to you for helping me make this little space in the internet the home it is! To be able to share a bit of my world with…
An Evening at Enchant, Arlington
Nestled in Arlington, Tx is Enchant Christmas: The world’s largest Christmas Light Maze. It is truly a magical place that makes the holidays come alive! Upon entrance to the light maze itself you are given a fun little adventure book to follow and try to find where Eddie the Mischevious Elf has hidden eight of…
