This year’s Halloween festivities was a little different from the years past. With a growing little pumpkin inside my belly, I avoided our annual trip to haunted houses and scary mazes, and opted for a more kid friendly (more calm) environment. It was our first time attending Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland and it did not […]
A long time ago, a wish started growing in my heart At first, it was a quiet wish that nobody knew Then it became an out-loud wish that grew and grew and grew. Until one day, my wish came true Marianne Richmond Arriving March 2013!!!! Pregnancy update coming soon 🙂
Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth (one of my favorite places to go and relax) and spent a few days relaxing at a beautiful cabin surrounded by majestic mountains and fresh air. We go to Mammoth every year, twice this year, and this year’s second trip couldn’t have come at a better time. There […]
I’ve been drinking a lot of tea lately. Chai tea with almond milk to be exact. Our house is filled with different candles in each room. I’m currently loving the Spiced Cider scent from Bath and Body works. I bought it last week and the large jar is half way done. I love that it’s […]

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 […]
I made breakfast last night in the form of overnight oats. Usually overnight oats are made with uncooked oats but I wanted some chewy oats this morning and used cooked steel cut oats instead. It worked. I put in 1/2 cup cooked steel cut oats and 1/2 cup plain greek yogurt. I used Fage […]
The week has just started but I feel like I’m getting ready for the weekend again. I have the next 2 days off from work to go on a fun road trip 🙂 Well, it will be fun once we get to our destination. During my gym session this morning, I actually noticed the improvement […]
I spent the afternoon with my niece, taking pictures of her frolicking in the garden. I love taking pictures, a ton of pictures. It’s even better when the subject is so much fun to play with. My sister dressed her up really cute. I wish I had outfits like my niece when I was little. […]
On Saturday mornings when we don’t have anything planned for the day, I come home after my workout with baking on my mind. I take my time making and eating my breakfast and then I read cooking magazines and go over recipes on my laptop that I have bookmarked during the week. I think of […]
It’s Friday, BEE Happy!!!! My niece Jazzy a few years ago 🙂 Flashback Friday Exactly a year ago from today, I was on vacation in Boston. We had planned the trip in the summer not paying close attention to our travel dates and realized that we will be out of town during Halloween. Boston […]
Here are some of my healthy eats lately. Obviously I am just showing my healthiest meals here for ideas. I also still eat Mexican food and fried fish tacos, pizza and other not so healthy foods—but I try to limit that to weekends. My breakfast staple is always a bowl of oatmeal or some kind […]
I have never made tamales or pies before. I just thought that these recipes are labor intensive that it would take a long time. But I should just get my hands dirty and really start making pies. As for the tamales, I think I will leave that to the professionals. Side story: I used to […]
