Hola from Puerto Vallarta! We got married yesterday and it was everything I had envisioned it would be…and more. What a very special day it was. I will share the pictures once we are back from our trip and once we have the pictures from our photographer. What did I do the morning of the wedding? […]
Hello friends, this morning Chris and I are on our way to Mexico to start our wedding celebration. The wedding is not until Monday, May 30th, so we will have a few days of sun and relaxation before we tie the knot. While I am enjoying my vacation south of the border, I have some […]
Operation tropical therapy has begun. Our vacation and wedding celebration is finally here, we leave for Mexico tomorrow morning. I’m starting to get that vacation itch, so close. Yesterday, Chris and I enjoyed our day out and about picking up some items for the wedding. It was a beautiful day in SoCal, but even more […]
Last weekend, I spent a fun afternoon hanging out with my L.A. blogger friends. We had a picnic at the Hollywood Bowl. I’ve only been to the Hollywood Bowl a few times and these were my best seats so far. We couldn’t get any closer to the stage, unless we were performing. We parked right […]
My living room this past weekend looked like a wedding central galore. Now, everything is put together and will be boxed today ready for Puerto Vallarta. Besides our luggage and possibly 2 boxes we are checking in, I will be carrying-on my wedding dress on the flight on Friday. I’ve got to make sure it’s […]

Note from the future: My appetite is definitely back now that I am well into my 2nd trimester. I am still craving salty food. Here’s the journal I wrote about the food I ate during the first few months of pregnancy. I would consider my morning sickness mild, but it was still rough to […]
This weekend we celebrated my niece’s 3rd birthday. My niece Jazaleia (Jazzy for short) is my only niece and the only grandchild. She is the cutest and most adorable little girl and all her Aunties spoils her with attention. I love spending time with her. She’s at that age where you can have a […]
Me, my mom and my two sisters left our hotel early in the morning to board the first boat out to the wedding venue. We arrived at the wedding venue at Las Caletas after forty-five minutes on the boat. We were immediately escorted to the bridal casita, where we relaxed until it was time to get […]
Baby H’s 1st birthday party was a blast. We celebrated his first year of life, as well as our first year anniversary as parents. It was a wonderful day surrounded by family and friends and the birthday boy showed off his walking skills to all the guests. Oh, how I love this boy 🙂 We […]
I am so glad I took the time to cook and bake some food before the baby arrived. It has really helped me to continue to eat healthy food after we brought our new baby boy home. Sometimes food is the last thing on our minds, while we continue to learn and adjust to our […]
To keep my workout from being boring, I am always looking for new cardio routines. I’ll try them at the gym and will repeat the ones I love. Currently,I have about four HIIT workouts that I’ve printed and keep in my gym bag. I found a few workouts from a recent Shape magazine, the one where […]
No, not the coffee kind, but the study-your-butt off grind. The other day I was driving from work and the temperature read 92 degrees…that is hot, even for Southern California standards. That’s why today was one of the days I was glad to be in school, indoors and I felt cooled all day. I also […]
Part I of our New Year’s Eve celebration was our lobster feast meal with our friends. The second part of our celebration was at my parents house. As tradition goes, we welcomed the new year surrounded by our family and friends. For as long as I can remember, I’ve spent New Year’s Eve with my […]
