I am going to split my bridal shower recaps because there are so many things I want to remember during these special celebrations leading up to the wedding. They are going to be very detailed recap, they are for me and to preserve each precious memory so I can look back down the road and not […]
I had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday. Thank you to everyone who greeted me and sent birthday wishes my way 🙂 Normally, I would plan to travel around my birthday, but with the wedding and our trip to Mexico being a month away, we decided to stay local. It was low key, relaxing and just […]
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 made it to the gym early this morning and took Body Pump class. It was my first time doing the new release, which was launched at my gym two weekends ago. I like the new release because there’s a lot of variety. I actually finished the bicep track, when normally, I would have to […]

Even though we had a rainy St. Patrick’s Day weekend, I know that Spring is on its way. Look what’s blooming now in my garden. Even though I have neglected my garden recently, I haven’t had time to do some weeding and I go for days without watering the flowers because of my busy schedule, […]
It was just a year ago that our little bundle of joy came into our lives It has been a whirlwind of a year, a year of joy and a year full of happy memories. I keep reminding myself to write down his birth story so I don’t forget the small details, but I still […]
participating in the Easter Egg hunt at our local park this past Sunday. The city did a great job putting the event together, it was not chaotic and the kids enjoyed themselves. H was grouped with the 4 year old age group and was a little overwhelmed during the hunt when all the […]
Accidental tasty salad. Sometimes random leftovers make great meals. The week is coming to an end, which means I am trying to eat all the leftovers before cooking a whole new batch of dishes. A mish mash of flavors that surprisingly went well together. A bed of arugula and fresh spinach, tossed in Shiitake Sesame Vinaigrette. […]
I am still on a pumpkin high. After incorporating pumpkin on several creations in the kitchen lately, I am still not sick of it. That’s good, because there was a big sale last week and I stocked up. The nice folks at Julian Bakery sent me a few loaves of their bread to sample. They […]
Happy Friday! How quickly the week went by. It is a short work week for me as I am again going out of town today for a dear friend’s wedding. I am flying out and heading up north. A lot of you commented that you were inspired to go visit the mountains and head up to Mammoth. […]
It’s that time again, the Orange County Fair is back for it’s annual summer fun. We took advantage of the $2 admission on Sundays and headed out to the fair around 11am. This weekend was opening weekend so even though it was packed, it wasn’t as crowded as usual. Ironically, most of the food I […]
Overnight, I became an auntie to my baby nephew Jonah. He was born at 1am today. Happy Birthday little guy! A picture of me and my very pregnant younger sister during her baby shower a few weeks ago. I can’t believe she is a mom now. I grew up with my 3 younger sisters. Then […]
