I can't get over the detailing of our gorgeous room. The bath tub was my favorite part! Below I am going to attach more photos of our room!
My husband and I had the opportunity to have a relaxing and much needed staycation at Hotel Alessandra-a new luxury hotel in Houston, Texas. It is stunning to say the least! My husband and I were always on the go and traveling the world before we had babies. Now, it's hard to do so. I am with my babies 24/7 and I don't enjoy being far from them when we do decide to have a date night, etc. Therefore, a stay-cation is the perfect get away for this mommy & daddy! Right in your home town, you can relax, spend some alone time yet be super close in case your babies need you or vise versa! It seems as if I need them more, LOL. I just love them so much, can't get enough!
Anyways, let's talk about Hotel Alessandra, shall we?! The hotel has a lot to offer. From the moment we arrived, I was impressed. We were greeted with huge smiles by the polite Valet & Hotel Alessandra Team. Hospitality at it's finest! Right when you walk in, the 1st thing you see is a beautiful grand stair case that welcomes you to the reception desk, where you will be able to check in. Also situated on the 2nd floor is Lucienne- Houston's upscale Mediterranean Restaurant and Bardot-a sophisticated bar and lounge. You have all of the fine dining/lounging right in the hotel and that is so convienite! Although, if you decide to venture out into the city there's no need for an Uber! Why?! Because Hotel Alessandra offers their guests to be chauffeured around in a Maserati. Complimentary! How fabulous is that?! Pretty awesome if you ask me!
We spent our day relaxing and pampering ourselves with a couple's massage at Spa by Alessandra and oh was it a phenomenal experience! I highly recommend taking time to rejuvenate yourself every once in a while. You and your partner deserve it!
I am so grateful we were able to experience this luxurious hotel. We are looking forward to spending another one of our staycation's at Hotel Alessandra. We couldn't of expected anything more or have been more pleased with this hotel and their professional team!
This is the beautiful view at night of Hotel Alessandra/ The Valet.
The beautiful Lucienne. I almost forgot to mention how Executive Chef Jose Hernandez will be the one preparing your delicious meals. 20+ years of experience around the world. Check him out!
Bardot Bar & Lounge. Very swanky!
Where we spent most of our day! Spa by Alessandra. It was so refreshing + very professional.
Here's what our room looked like! How pretty? I love the dark and rich pop of green velvet.
Also, behind that amazing and unique mirror wall lays the bath tub! How incredible?!
The view at night time. So breath taking! Look at that. Reminds me of NYC!

Hello sweet friends & happy Monday! Another week is upon us, and it's going to be a great one, I already know it! Valentine's Day is just 2 days away. Can you believe it? Oh my goodness. I have always been one to love and celebrate this holiday of LOVE, but I started enjoying it even more when I met my sweet Brett.
This is going to be Brett and I's 3rd Valentine's Day celebration together. I started to spoil him from the very beginning of our relationship With a Valentine's Day Breakfast and a romantic Dinner for Two at home. Well, now dinner for 4 and we couldn't be happier with our kiddos by our sides! We are homebodies and always have been, even before the angels came along! All of our Valentine's dinner date nights were homemade by me, for him, at our home!
I didn't share what I make him for breakfast on the menu. Although, I will share it here. I make him Red Velvet Heart Pancakes w/ a cream cheese mixture topped with pecans and maple syrup. It is one of his favorites, considering he loves Red Velvet + Cream Cheese. Plus, how could you not make heart shaped pancakes for your loved one on Valentine's Day?!
Of course, we have all of our Holiday meals in our dining room. Our tablescape changes as the seasons change. It is something that I am constantly updating. This tablescape happens to be one of my favorites ( they are all to be honest!) I absolutely adore the color pink, and my fine American Beauty China is beyond perfect for this holiday. I cherish this china so much, my grandma (Nana Morris- my dad's mom) passed it down to me, and it stays displayed in our china cabinet year round. I will put it out on Valentine's Day and sometimes Mother's Day! It is so gorgeous and I am so grateful that my family and I are able to enjoy it now.
What are your Valentine's Day plans? I would love to hear.
Hi lovelies. Happy Wednesday! My hubby and I just got back from Las Vegas tonight, and we had an absolute BLAST. George Strait + Super Bowl + Louis Vuitton shopping...wow! It was a great weekend get away with my hubby. Although, I am beyond happy to be home and all snuggled up with our precious babies! It's just not the same without them.
Valentine's Day is right around the corner. I previously showed you guys my version of the perfect Valentine's / Galentine's Day outfit, but I figured I could share a dressier option!
Red + Lace. You can not go wrong with that combination!
P.S- I linked my exact dress. Although if you'd rather not spend over $100, I linked some other alternatives that are absolutely stunning!
Hi Gals! Valentine's Day is already right around the corner. Can you believe it!? I love this holiday so much, a celebration of LOVE; the most beautiful thing. Married, in a relationship, or single, I believe everyone should celebrate! Rather it's a romantic candlelight dinner at home with your spouse, or a Galentines Day brunch with your girlfriends... let's ALL celebrate LOVE & let's look FABULOUS while doing so!
The skirt already has a lot going on, so I paired it with a simple black turtle neck bodysuit & black OTK boots! Depending on your climate situation, you can dress this skirt for cooler or warmer weather. If it were to be warmer out for instance, I would pair this skirt with a sleeveless black bodysuit and some black pumps, TA-DA! Giving it the same, simple look.
This skirt is just too cute not to have in your closet. Who doesn't love a skirt with hearts all over it?! It's appropriate for so many events and not to mention it is currently 47% off! What a steal!
What are your Valentines Day plans?!
P.S- Stay tuned for my Valentines Day Tablescape for a date night in/Galentines Day Brunch!
I put together this beyond perfect Valentines day outfit. Guys, does it or does it not SCREAM Valentines Day! When I laid my eyes on this pretty little skirt, I knew it was going to be apart of my 2018 Valentines Day outfit, without a doubt!
Hey babes! 1st off, Happy freaking New Year! I've been MIA trying to recuperate my household from the holidays and travels. Although, I am back! & Guess what?! Today is my birthday. Yay! I am another year wiser. Today, I am 23 years young. I love reflecting on how far I've come each year, what I have accomplished, what kind of maturity from experiences I have gained throughout the year, and just celebrating another year of this precious life with the ones that mean the most to me!
I must say, I am feeling pretty dang good about 23! I am so happy with where I am today and the person that I am. I absolutely love being a young mother and wife. There's just something so special that comes with getting older every year. To celebrate, I am going to share 23 things about me!
1. The Lord is my savior. When I say that, I mean it. I am a very religious person and God is number 1 in my life. I believe that he has blessed me with more than any person deserves and I pray and thank him every single day I wake up and night before I go to sleep for what he has blessed me with. I give all my praise to the man upstairs. He has given me everything and more than what I have ever dreamed of.
2. My family is my everything. Everything I do, I do it for them. I am very family oriented and they come before anything and everything. I have always dreamed of becoming a wife and a mother since before I could remember. That is something I always knew I wanted to be in life.
3. My husband, Brett; he is my bestfriend. An angel sent to me from above! I have never met such a genuine person in my life. He is so thoughtful, kind, caring, hardworking, and intelligent. I can always count on him and I fall more and more in love with him each and every day. He deserves the world and that's what I strive to give him day by day, just as he does for me.
4. Being a mother is my greatest accomplishment. There is nothing that brings me more joy than being a mommy to my precious Sophia Grace and Noah. I love my babies so much and I thank God every second for blessing me with these precious, healthy angels. They are the light of my life, the reason for my existence. I love them more than you could ever know...
5. I grew up in Sugar Land, Texas. Growing up, I have always had a very close and tight knit family. I love my mother, father, brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews very much. To this day we are all super close, and I can count on them all for anything and everything. They're now a huge part of my babies life and this is just the beginning of many more happy years to come!
6. Brett and I were dating for 2 months before he popped the question.
7. I was just 19 years old when Brett proposed to me. 20 years old when we got married. Best decision of my life.
8. I love being in the kitchen. Cooking & baking is my hobby. I prepare a hot breakfast and dinner for my family every day.
9. I have had a passion for fashion since before I can remember. I have always loved clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry, etc. When I was a little girl, I would piece all of my outfits together, whatever trend I liked.
10. I am OCD, I love a clean house! If things are out of place, I get very stressed out & can't think straight.
11. I love fresh flowers. There's always a fresh flower arrangement in our home!
12. I love country music. I grew up only listening to country, and it is hands down my favorite genre of music. Garth Brooks & George Strait being my top favorite artist!
13. I am very loyal and love hard.
14. I believe trust has to be earned, it is not given.
15. I am a homebody. My favorite kind of night is staying at home, watching movies, and snuggling with my hubby and our precious kiddos! I could do this every night, every week for the rest of my life and be so content.
16. I love Diet Coke.
17. I am a huge planner. I absolutely adore planning for holidays, parties, events, etc.
18. I love interior design. I designed our entire home, inside and out.
19. I always have to have my nails, eyebrows, and eyelashes done. That's a must in my book!
20. My favorite color is pale/blush pink. Although, the combination of black and white makes my heart happy!
21. I am a scary movie kinda girl. My husband absolutely hates them, but I always make him watch them with me! I just can't resist.
22. I love to travel. My husband has taken me to a lot of places so far. Out of all of them Greece was my absolute favorite. We are currently planning a trip back!
23. Pearls are my favorite! So classic.
Well, there you have it! 23 things about ME! I thought that this would be a good way for you guys to get to know me a little better. Thanks so much for following along thus far, I can't wait for this journey to continue into 2018. It's going to be a great year! After all, it is my "Jordan" year, right?!
