christmas at the brochu’s.

Christmas is certainly one of my favorite times of year. December is one of the few months that Houston has temperatures cool enough to wear a scarf! Between the parties, friends, family and beautifully wrapped packages, Christmas is a blast. The one tradition that D and I started almost a decade ago involves our Christmas tree ornaments,…

vegas= happy place.

Vegas = Happy Place. MY happy place to be exact. If you’ve never been to Las Vegas, or at least not in recent years, it truly is sensory overload.  Everything from the gleaming lights, fantastic music, awesome collection of shows, delectible restaurants…. the list goes on.
