Soo & the City Blog

Things have changed, and so have I. After a break since 2022, I’m starting fresh in Ann Arbor, Michigan—a charming college town known for its small-town vibe, big nature scene, and four seasons (including snow!). What I love most about Ann Arbor is that it’s everything Houston is not—focused on non-materialistic values, outdoor living, and a slower pace. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family, which is why so many people move here for exactly that reason. From outdoor adventures to charming spots, I’m exploring it all and rediscovering myself along the way.

That said, Houston will always be home. It’s where my friends, family, and real estate business are, and I visit often. I’m excited to share the best of both worlds with you!

Seasons are changing, and so is the #house! We’ve hit a big milestone: windows and doors are officially in! I’ve been impatiently waiting for this day, and now that we’re closed off to the outdoors, we can focus on the inside. Roughs are underway, HVAC and plumbing are happening now, with electrical next. I can’t wait to see the Sheetrock go up! More #renovations updates to come, stay tuned! 🙃

Catching up, in Detroit. Dangerous. Love Detroit. Reminds me of home.

11 years today. I don’t know where the time goes. From ‘just us’ to sharing life with the boys, it’s been a journey filled with life’s biggest experiences, ups and downs, and so much joy. So, so thankful for it all.

There’s just something so exciting about seeing contractors on your job site. It’s been a long time coming and we’re finally hitting the ground running, or walking…either way we’re finally moving forward!! 🙃🚜🚧🤸🏻🤸🏻🤸🏻

Don’t you love Fridays? I’m finally getting some down time before the kids get home and thought I’d time myself for the first time.😄😋TGIF!🙃

These last days of summer have been so good…soaking up the sun, bike rides, beach days, Lake Michigan, much needed r&r, and those omg breathtakingly perfect sunsets—this is everything. Now who’s ready for school?? 🙋🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️😄 #familytime #lakemichigan #michigansummer #mamametime

Soaking in our last bit of summer by the lake—first time staying in Charlevoix area, didn’t know it was exactly what we needed. 🌅💛 #LakeMichigan #FamilyTime

Summer, in Michigan, with friends, and family. My absolute favorite combination of things. The best. @uyenv @moomersicecream @visitmackinacisland @missionpointresort

The days always seem to fly by and over halfway through summer I’m reminding myself to savor every day and remembering how important it is to have downtime, at any stage of life. Cheers to you-time! Thanks for the great service and staff @cauayanislandresort
