The readings, the words we spoke…everything in our wedding ceremony had special meaning. It wasn’t traditional, it wasn’t too serious…it was us. We incorporated a few things that was special to us. We tailored our vows with some of our own words. Even though I didn’t meet our officiant until the day of the wedding, we […]

My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts.

We are currently in the hottest […]
Is it spring yet? I wish. We are having some very unusual weather in SoCal these days. It has been really cold. It was so cold, we went home early from Disneyland because it was TOO cold. I bundled up really well too, Me and my sister staying warm inside It’s A Small World ride. […]
Our summer bucket list this year involves a lot of planned family time, with a few family road trips together and some wish list of places to visit. Visiting an aquarium was on our list and since our little hula girl/my niece had a performance at the Long Beach aquarium with her dance group, it […]
I’ve got plums. Tons of plums. My friend Sena has plum trees in her backyard and I went to town picking at the ripe, juicy fruits. I have never picked plums straight from the tree. It was a lot of fun picking them. Some of the fruits were so ripe that only a slight touch […]
