The fall of 2019 was clearly a busy time for many couples, judging by all of the babies I am seeing making their appearances this summer.

We are happy to partner with Next Level Urgent Care for this comprehensive guide to in-person and virtual events in August. All thoughts and opinions are our own. It’s August! This is the time that we generally shift gears from summer to back-to-school time. While school preparations might look a lot different this year, we […]
Okay, 2020 is officially – a giant pile of poo. Yeah, I said what I said. We’ve only made it to the halfway point and we have a pandemic, social unrest unseen since the civil rights era, economic recession, murder hornets, Sahara dust, a Tiger King takeover, massive fires, neighborhoods sliding into the ocean, a […]

Road trips are not a new thing for us. Packing up the SUV for a long voyage is our forte. But traveling during a pandemic is not. The 12 hour drive from Houston to our family lake house at the Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri seemed a bit daunting with so much uncertainty surrounding us […]
