It’s rare to have both my mom and sister off at the same time and as we grow older, its even more difficult to spend quality time together. So, as my sister is on maternity leave and my mom on a working hiatus to help with the baby, the three of us, plus babe, took a trip out to Richmond to visit our friend’s new doughnut and deli shop. The Grove is a quaint little […]
Some images from the last days of my spring break. I was able to get lots of work done the earlier half of the week and spent the last few days outside enjoying the a m a z i n g weather, visiting museums, grading papers outside in Brazil’s patio, and relaxing in the backyard with Baby Girl. Can’t believe it’s spring already…
I’ve been dining out with my brother and sister lately and one of our new favorite spots in town is Local Foods down in the Rice Village. This gourmet sandwich shop uses fresh and, wait for it, local ingredients. Each sandwich order, as if it wasn’t already enough, comes with two sides ranging from quinoa, or homemade cous cous to delicious cabbage slaw. The vibe here is chill with locals coming in and out, hanging […]
There are so many hidden gems in Houston that I need to explore and try out so I’m making it my goal to do just that this year. A very late resolution, but better late than never, right?

A quick run down Alabama Street to satisfy my craving for something sweet. I can always count on Petite Sweets to still be open after six on a Sunday. Then, a quick turn sown Shepard to pick up an issue of Lula, only to realize after getting home that I already had this issue in a different cover. Sigh. I’m losing my marbles. But the pretty flowers by the magazine shop provided a good photo […]
* * Met up with Andrew for lunch at Downhouse Friday afternoon. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him, I blame him of course, but it was good hang out, grub, and grab some delicious gelato at our favorite spot, Cricket’s. It’s almost Halloween and I love how everyone is celebrating All Hallow’s Eve with little touches of gore and horrors here and there. I like to look at these photos and dwell on […]
Spent Saturday out and about, catching up on a few exhibits I’ve had my eye on. (Plus, it’s always a good excuse to wear all my sundresses) First, brunch at Downhouse, where the waiters are dapper, the Bloody Marys are spicy and the pulled pork sandwiches are very very delicious. A large mirror from a neighboring antique store caught our eye, so we made a quick detour there. But the rest of the day was […]
