Thank you everyone for all your sweet comments on the engagement pictures sneak peek. I received a few emails with funny comments from friends. Funny comments such as “Oh go get your own barn”, “The pictures are channeling Bella and Edward in the woods” and “Keep the boots on, if you know what I mean”. […]
Exactly two weeks ago, the fiance and I had a fun time frolicking in the wild to take our engagement pictures. You can see the behind-the-scenes look of that day here. We were in our natural surrounding as we both like nature and often go on hikes together on the weekend. Today, I was […]
I make it a habit to drink a big cup of water before bed. But the last few nights, I have been waking up in the middle of the night because I had to use the bathroom and usually it is hard to go back to asleep. I try to read a book or listen to instrumental music on my […]

I love attending our mommy and me events but I especially love it when we have it outdoors and visit a place we have never been before. We recently met-up at an arboretum and wandered around the place, letting the little ones play, while us moms caught up with each other. I’m kind of embarrassed […]
I’m enjoying a glorious three day weekend. I had Good Friday off and will be spending our Easter Weekend going to church, doing egg hunts, cooking for family and making fun treats. I want to share an Easter treat I made last year that everyone enjoyed. I love how cute these chocolate bird’s nest came […]
Wow, what a great trip we had at Mammoth Lakes this weekend. I will be recapping the trip soon including plenty of pictures. It’s amazing how a 5 hour drive away from L.A. exist a completely different world of just pure nature. I wish we could have stayed longer. But since it’s Wednesday, I thought […]
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 […]

This morning, the temp was down to the 60s. wearing tights, pants, sweaters and boots lighting scented candles nightly, part of the reason I love this season going to the children’s museum on weekends, H loves it there. He loves to drive the big […]
I’m thankful for sparkling water, it is my daily “fun drink” without any sugar. I’m thankful for podcasts, my commute will never be the same again. I’m thankful for our neighborhood, that the streets are safe and there are plenty of trails for me to walk around. I’m thankful for my husband’s ability […]
You know summer is on it’s way when you have fresh, sweet and juicy pineapples at the farmers market. We have been enjoying pineapple the last few weeks and it inspired me to make this dish. I love eating pizza but I don’t like the bloated feeling I get afterwards. I made my own healthier version […]
I’m inspired by quotes I read and love saving them so I can be reminded of them in the future. Picture below was taken at the flower fields in Carlsbad, a full afternoon just enjoying the flowers…..slowing things down.
