Last Saturday, I attended the “Be Fit and Pain Free in 2011” event hosted by Kathy Kaehler and sponsored by Salonpas Pain Relief Patches. SALONPAS is a pain patch with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) medication you can put on your body for relief. So instead of taking an aspirin or ibuprofen, you can just put a […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
Today had so much potential. We had plans to go hiking, stopped by the farmers market afterwards and maybe grill some fresh corn when we got home. Well, it’s not happening. After being spoiled with mid 70s temperature the last few weeks, the rain surprised us today. Instead of showing you some pictures from […]
I am a morning person. I like waking up early and getting a lot of things accomplished before I head out the door for work. There’s nothing like a hot cup of tea or coffee and a tasty breakfast plate that gets me excited to start my day. I had a great start to my […]
600 miles and 24 hours later, I am home sweet home. I don’t know when I’ve felt more tired, driving solo for 4 hours or the morning after a long race? 4 hours is the longest time I have ever been driven straight and I did it twice in the last 24 hours. I did the […]

Some of the treats found at Disney for the month of February are bright pink cupcakes… and heart shaped cookies to celebrate Valentine’s Day. So many choices, so little time. But we had to make a decision, so Chris and I decided to enjoy a sundae to satisfy our sweet tooth 🙂 I got a […]
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (4/5 stars) This story was beautiful, haunting and suspenseful. It was a quick read, perfect for a day at the beach. I had goosebumps when the twist was revealed and also felt sadness. Maybe I will go back and re-read in the future….just to figure out if there […]
During the first few months of my pregnancy, I had food aversion that included vegetables. Sadly, I did not eat my usual vegetable servings but I did eat a ton of fruits. Summer fruits were in season and I just could not get enough. I was also tired all day, every day. I baked breakfast […]
Our Easter Sunday was spent relaxing all day. The Easter Bunny did visit my nephew Jonah and brought him some goodies. This is Jonah’s first Easter (he is 6 weeks old) so the Easter Bunny had to warm-up to him. Can we be friends Jonah? Hmmm, let me think about it first? Did you bring […]
I love the time in between Christmas and New Year, my friends and family are usually off of work and it’s the best time to spend time together before we welcome the new year. Chris was on vacation for a week. We were able to enjoy our days doing something outdoorsy, like hiking. When evening […]
This week is my first week back at Disneyland after the summer break. The fiance and I and several friends have Disney annual passes. We love going to Disneyland once a week to have dinner, check out the fireworks, go on rides and watch shows. Going to Disneyland is stressful when you only have a […]
In the spirit of celebrating Halloween week, I wanted to celebrate the recent opening of my online store with Open Sky with a sale. One of the reasons I started my blog was because I wanted to share with my friends and family ways to live a healthy lifestyle. I wanted to share the recipes […]
This weekend I enjoyed myself being surrounded by wedding DIY projects and doing arts and crafts. I really love doing creative and hands-on projects like scrapbooking and other crafts. I love that the you can see the finish product in a matter of days. So you get to enjoy your labor as soon as you are done. […]
