Funny how I consider myself well-versed in the kitchen these days (a whole lot more than I used to), but I had never made RICE KRISPIES TREATS until the other day. Every person I have ever known has made these at least once in their life, but not me. Then I got a newsletter from […]
Week 3 is upon us and the Texans are heading to primetime (which usually doesn’t fair well for them) to take on the New England Patriots, sans-Brady. Here are some of our favorite stats for this Week 3 matchup. (Although the Texans 2-5 record for Thursday games isn’t necessarily a favorite stat.) I love living back […]
Week 2 is upon us and the Texans take on the also 1-0 Kansas City Chiefs at NRG Stadium. Here are some of our favorite stats for this Week 2 matchup (including congratulating the Texans on their 100th franchise win!). I love living back inside the loop and so close to all the Texans excitement, which you […]
I’m an absolute sucker for health and wellness trends. Most things (not all, i.e. bangs) become a trend for a good reason – they have provided some major benefit to a large majority of people.

It’s no travel secret that Cabo is one of the best vacation destinations, especially from Houston, just a 2.5-hour flight out of the recently renovated Houston Hobby Airport or Bush Intercontinental. For starters, the airport is clean and efficient; the flights are direct and affordable (thanks to Southwest, United and Spirit), and the weather and beaches are […]

In fact, the baseball legend says his life […]
“DISASTERS ARE OUR BUSINESS. VETERANS ARE OUR PASSION.” Meet Team Rubicon Houston is no stranger to some great philanthropic groups, but one of the latest ones we learned about (thanks to Houston Astros outfielder COLBY RASMUS) is Team Rubicon. Team Rubicon is the only nonprofit disaster response organization that repurposes the skills of military veterans, uniting their skills […]

When your beloved pup gets to a certain age, preservation and quality of life truly become top of mind. Denali, my sweet teacup chihuahua (who weighs 20lbs and most certainly isn’t a teacup like his papers say) is now 12 years old. Seems like just yesterday I got the Miami-born pup who now happily lives in Texas. I decided […]
