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 […]

I’m changing the format of my book reports. The once-a-month book reports were getting too long and by the time I sit down and write about the books, I’ve forgotten my review already. I’ll be posting the book reports in real time, so that they will be fresh in my mind. I’ll post as soon […]
I have a current favorite salad. I eat this when I don’t get a chance to pack my own lunch, and these days, it has been happening more often. I asked the restaurant for all the ingredients so I can try to replicate it at home. What I find unique about this salad is […]
The Opposite of Everyone by Joshlyn Jackson This is a story about a tough divorce lawyer with a troubled past is forced to revisit her childhood when she discovers her estranged mother is probably dead and may have left another child behind. I like books who have strong heroines that don’t take any […]
What a great weekend I had. Thank you for the sweet birthday wishes to Chris. He said Thank You to you all. I got to bond with this little one (Jonah, my newborn nephew, 3 days old). His face has a lot of expressions and he has a strong grip too. I let him hold […]
I am packing tonight for a very exciting trip. It seems that each month gets busier and busier, but I have managed to stay sane and stay healthy. This weekend is a much needed break. We are taking an early start on Labor Day holiday weekend and heading out to the mountains tomorrow. It will be a long […]
In 98 days, I will be running the inaugural Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon. My first and only half marathon race so far was in December 2009 at the inaugural Rock N Roll Las Vegas. I wanted to stay local this time around. I couldn’t be more excited to be training for a race that […]
I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]
My little man turned 2 in March. Last year we threw a huge party, so to change the pace, we kept it simple this year. We invited immediate family over for a late morning brunch and cake. At 24 months, H knows that the week was a special week of celebration for him, balloons and […]
