Tips to Maximize your personal + professional life
Spring Break 2023 was our first trip to Disneyland in California and it was a BLAST! But to make the most of it you need a strategy. Here are my tips for a fun-filled family vacation at the *original* happiest place on earth: Buy your tickets for your days in the park as soon as [...]
Our little town of Dripping Springs might as well be called Drinking Springs thanks to all the breweries and distilleries in the area. If you're headed to the Hill Country for the weekend here is my brewery tour guide. I'll list out highlights below (good for families, food situation, etc.) for each brewery but I [...]
Washington, DC has a special place in my heart. I first lived there in the Summer of 2006 during my internship designing the Penthouse Apartment at the Ritz Carlton. Having previously lived in Manhattan, I came to realize that DC was exactly my pace. A global city full of art, culture, and food but on [...]
On an early Friday summer evening I sat down at a picnic table with Thelma and Kenny Coleman, the owners of Ghost Note Brewing, to share a pint and hear how their business came to be. I'm honestly not sure if there is a nicer couple out there than Thelma and Kenny. Warm smiles and [...]

If I had to pick one time period to go back and live in, it 100% would be the late 1950s to early 1960s. The music, the fashion, the martinis...it all sounds so fabulous to me. If you're like me and want to throw on a Sinatra record, lay poolside and feel like Midge Maisel [...]
Looking for a fun weekend activity with the kids? No matter where you are in the Austin area, Marble Falls is a worthy drive for a fun day at the farm. We first found Sweet Berry Farm last fall when looking for a pumpkin patch. One of our favorite things to do in DC was [...]
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I've been in the throes of a design renovation for our 1915 Victorian beach house in Galveston, TX. I've had a ton of people ask, "Why Galveston?" We started going to Galveston for Thanksgiving a few years ago when we were still living in Washington, DC. We [...]
