Well hello again, it has been awhile. I have been busy the last several days spending time with family and friends, and taking care of family matters. But the calm is here and my schedule has finally slowed down. I think this is longest time I’ve disconnected from my computer, which at times can be […]
Thank you all for the comments regarding my wedding dress sneak peek. I loved reading all your sweet comments. I forgot to share with you that the sample dress I tried on was my size and it fits me perfectly, except for the part around the hips which will be taken in during my fitting […]
I mentioned last week that I was doing something very exciting this past weekend that was wedding related. I was very excited to shop for my wedding dress. My mom, my aunt and my girlfriend Sarah came with me to try on dresses. I should mention ahead of time that I will not be showing […]
We’ve had a cold December so far. Because it has been chilly, my cravings for fruits and salads has been completely non-existent. I crave hot breakfast, soups, hot & hearty grains and just hot food in general. I am still in love with the Carrot Cake oatmeal and have been making a big pot each […]

I can already tell that this blueberry crisp will be my go-to summer dessert. I’ve made it several times now, I’ve made it for company and served with a side of ice cream. I’ve also made it as our breakfast for the week. I found this recipe from the Bread and Wine: […]
My “about me” page is going to be updated soon, just posting my old one as a blog post so I have a way to archive it. A lot of things have changed since I started my blog in 2010 (I got married, I became a new mom, we bought a new house and […]
First, thank you for all the get well wishes from the last post. My eyes are doing much better. It just a matter of time before my cornea heals completely. My nephew Jonah turned 2 weeks old yesterday. He makes a lot of facial expressions already and I try to capture it each time I […]
I am in the bay area getting ready for my friend’s wedding. We had rehearsal dinner tonight and the whole day has gone by so fast. I flew out of the Long Beach airport around noon. (I just looked at this picture and realized I matched my luggage, not intentional) I packed lunched at home […]

We visited another location for a possible wedding venue. This location has a spectacular ocean view, surrounded with lots of greenery and very private because it’s tucked in a residential area.
