Hello friends 🙂 Whoa, I can’t believe Thanksgiving has come and gone. The first few weeks of November was actually nice because I started thinking about everything I was grateful for and each day I stopped and think about everything in my life I’m grateful for. As the Thanksgiving week approached, each day went by […]
I was one of those women who got pregnant and felt the symptoms of morning sickness right away, I felt off and not myself as early as 4 weeks. This is a snaphot of how I felt the first trimester. Looking back, it wasn’t really that bad. But when you are in the middle of […]
As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I bought several books to help me prepare for the baby. I haven’t bought an actual book for a really long time, except for cookbooks. I read books on my Nook app or Kindle, much more convenient to have all the books in the one location […]
During the first few months of my pregnancy, I had food aversion that included vegetables. Sadly, I did not eat my usual vegetable servings but I did eat a ton of fruits. Summer fruits were in season and I just could not get enough. I was also tired all day, every day. I baked breakfast […]

I don’t know exactly when something becomes a tradition, but we have been making pizzas in our house quite often recently and it has become our Friday night tradition. The weather is cold right now and when Friday afternoon comes along, all I can think about is resting my feet, putting it up and spending […]
I have spent the last two weekends traveling. Which means, I did a lot of laundry and packing and unpacking in between trips. It also means, my workout and my healthy food choices have been inconsistent. I try to pack as much healthy snacks with me while I am away from home and make conscious […]
Summer. is. over. (not the weather, but the activities) We had our families over for a pool and barbeque party. My niece Jazzy is a water baby. She has been known to stay in the pool until 8pm. This little lady loves swimming. The weather was blazing hot, so either you had to be in […]
Happy Lunar New Year from Disneyland! Chinese New Year is tomorrow Monday, January 23rd. Disneyland looks festive with all the Chinese New Year decorations up. They even have egg rolls, edamame and other Asian inspired cuisine available for a limited time inside the park. How fun 🙂 ************ The last couple of weeks, we […]
I took a break from going to my Mom’s book club this summer, the schedule just didn’t work out, but I’m back. All The Light We Cannot See was the selection for the month, although I didn’t finish the book in time, I still had fun meeting with mommy friends, eating pizza and getting […]
When I first started the blog, I knew very little about designing a blog. I didn’t spend a lot of time fretting about the design because I just wanted to get started. I just wanted a medium where I can talk about the fun stuff that happens in life, a place where I can post […]
Some fun highlights from this week. We had our usual Sunday evening at Disneyland this past weekend. I got my highest score on Buzz Lightyear ride! Chris sent me flowers at work for my birthday. The lilies finally bloomed and they are so beautiful. Definitely the bright spot in my office. They remind me of […]
I created this pancake and topping combination during my run today. During my cool down, my mind started thinking about breakfast. I had a nice and short run this morning, trying to keep my legs fresh for my 10K Turkey Trot tomorrow morning. I have been eating a lot of red food lately and it […]
