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 […]

This week, I am participating in the life documenting process called Week In The Life. You can do this any way you want and it looks different for everybody. This is my first time doing this so I just did what came easy to me and what I can do with the time I have. […]
Last night, Chris and I went to his work event at the aquarium. It was windy and raining the whole night so we were wearing our rainy day clothes. We were served catered Italian food for dinner and we dined next to the fishes. Attending events at the aquarium is fun because we get to […]
After coming home from a weekend trip to San Francisco and indulging in the delicious food and eating my way thru the Ferry Building/Farmers Market, I came home with a happy heart and happy belly. I came home excited to cook again, but usually after each of my travels, I come home with a low […]
I’ve enjoyed a lot of sweet treats this weekend and as much as I’ve enjoyed every bite, it always leave me wanting for more and more sugar. I’m glad it’s Monday because I’m back to my routine of eating healthy food, which means I try to get my dose of vegetables and fruits in during […]
A few weeks ago, my aunt cooked a very simple okra dish. It was simple, with just a few ingredients and it was very tasty. After eating it a few days in a row, I told her “I can eat this everyday”. If I can find okra easily (frozen ones don’t taste as good), then […]
For someone who loves to bake, it’s amazing that I haven’t made a lot of different kind of bake goods. My comfort zone in my kitchen and for using my oven is usually cookies, snack bars, quick breads and muffins. I want to venture out of my comfort zone. I want to try something new. […]
At the beginning of the year, I told myself to try a new recipe every week. Any recipe, whether as complicated as baking bread from scratch, to dinner recipes and as simple as simple side dish or a smoothie recipe. It’s just a simple challenge that I try to do, to avoid ruts in the […]
