I’ve seen other bloggers document “a day in the life” and it inspired me to do the same. I love recording and taking pictures of our daily lives, especially these first several weeks after Hawke was born. All the pictures were taken from my iphone. A few of them are very grainy since I […]
I’ve missed this place, this blog is my creative space and I miss it. It has only been a month since I’ve given birth and already I feel like I am starting to see the flow and rhythm of having a baby at home. Don’t get me wrong, I am still adjusting, but I do […]
Hello friend 🙂 I hope your weekend is going well. With a newborn at home, my days and nights are starting to blur these days. I constantly look at my phone to check what day/date it is. But I do know it’s April, and this month will be a special month for me since I will […]
Our little man is already 2 weeks old. His full name is Bradley Hawke, but we call him by his middle name Hawke. We have been calling him that even before we found out he was going to be a boy. His first week at home, all this baby wanted to do was sleep. I […]
I am so glad I took the time to cook and bake some food before the baby arrived. It has really helped me to continue to eat healthy food after we brought our new baby boy home. Sometimes food is the last thing on our minds, while we continue to learn and adjust to our […]

Black Friday turned out to be “Buy Nothing Friday” for me. I’ve done the crazy bargain hunting and shopping before. When I lived in San Diego, I used to do Thanksgiving Day midnight shopping at the Carlsbad Factory Outlets. It was a crazy shopping experience. I remember standing in line for 15 minutes to get […]
The holiday season is upon us. Everything we do has new meaning these days. I find myself saying to Chris, “this is going to be the last holidays where it is just going to be the two of us” or “next year, we’ll be pushing the stroller past these Christmas decorations”. It really helps me […]
playing with bubbles whenever we can, it gives us something fun to play with during this heat wave going on a date night. We had dinner at BJ’s Restaurant and watched the movie Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates painting my nails neutral color. I didn’t use get manicure and giving my nails […]
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 […]
We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration. This is our last Vday as a family of two and Chris gave me a very sweet card, in which he signed it from him and baby :), so cute. Valentine’s was celebrated during the whole week, and I was happy to be surrounded by pretty things, love […]
I love baking. I make decadent dessert recipes and I make healthy ones. The cookies I have been enjoying is definitely on the healthier side. Eating cookies is not the healthiest food you can eat, but if you can make them healthier and still taste good, this is how I imagine they would taste. These […]
A “Lightest Sea Breeze” drink includes cranberry, grapefruit juices with a dash of fresh lime juice (alcohol optional). But the post title is not about the drink, it’s about our day in Manzanillo, Mexico. It was the hottest day and most humid day during our cruise. The post should have been called NO Sea Breeze. […]
Not technically Wordless Wednesday. I gotta say something, always 🙂 These are pictures from the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The island is very small, I think it’s only a few miles wide. One of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Mexico and Caribbean beaches. When I went for a […]
