After my family’s Christmas Eve party, I woke up early on Christmas Day ready to greet the day 🙂 I was the first one to wake up. So I made a pot of coffee and sat down near the fireplace and just relaxed. Ahhhhh, I love the smell of Christmas and being surrounded by […]

With food a plenty… like traditional food such as whole roasted pig (lechon) and noodles (pancit palabok) and of course desserts. We had some healthy snacks too. I ate my heart out […]

I’m back to my regular schedule and routine at home. It took 2 days to feel like myself again and get my energy back. But I’m up and running and excited to get ready for the next trip. I received some emails regarding Dreams Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta, so here are my thoughts. Why […]
We hosted Friendsgiving at my house this year, I hope it will become a yearly tradition. We have a few young kiddos now in our circle of friends, so we asked everyone to come early around 4pm so we don’t keep the kids up too late. We had a great time catching up with […]
