A few weeks ago I made a fabulous mid-winter trip to the glamorous and art-filled Palm Springs, California for the 2018 Altitude Summit. I represented It’s Not Hou It’s Me and networked with small business owners, designers, photographers, bloggers, sponsors and creatives of all sorts at the overflowing-with-color Saguaro Hotel. I spent most of my … Continue reading

Ironically, I wasn’t going for any wedding related activities and instead of donning matching “bride squad” t-shirts, I was accompanied by my mom for a spontaneous weekend trip to visit her sister.

It’s a quick drive (relatively speaking in terms of the size of Texas) and filled with exciting things like casinos, crawfish, gators and, of course Mardi Gras.
