There are those properties that you feel fortunate to have found– the Solage Resort in Calistoga, California is one for me.

I was devastated to see the beach in Cancun after Hurricane Wilma got a hold of it. Honestly, I’ve been to some pretty awesome beaches, but Cancun always held a special place in my heart. I’ve spent years telling D how incredibly blue the water was and about the waves to play in all day long… Here…

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,…
