We went to a pumpkin patch and Hawke loved banging on the pumpkins and he really enjoyed being surrounded by pumpkins. Our Fall project life pages looks so festive. This is our first time visiting an actual working pumpkin farm and it was really neat to see it all. We want to visit during […]
I made a simple pumpkin oatmeal bake on a Sunday afternoon, with the intentions of having it for breakfast for the next 5 days until Friday. Lets just say that by Wednesday, it was all gone. This happened last year, when I was 4.5 months pregnant. The first trimester was over and I was happy […]
I started doing scrapbooking again and I am using Project Life books to document our every day life. I feel creative when I do it. I’m happy when I’m doing it. I’m happy knowing I’m helping preserve my family’s memories and especially love doing the baby book. I like documenting our every day life […]

It is our family’s tradition to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. ‘Twas the night before Christmas, our families gathered to celebrate together. With food a plenty… like traditional food such as whole roasted pig (lechon) and noodles (pancit palabok) and of course desserts. We had some healthy snacks too. I ate my heart out […]
My sister Janell baked some tasty cupcakes this week and she sent some my way. She knows a few things about cupcakes, she used to work at Frosted Cupcakery in Belmont Shore. It’s so nice to have another baker in the family 🙂 It feels great to come home and have baked treats waiting […]
Happy weekend everyone! I love trying new things, especially new food and new workouts. Here are some of the new things I’ve tried lately. Kettle ball workouts. I love these workouts because it combines cardio and muscle toning in the same workout. It’s a fun change to my workout routine. It also left me sore […]
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. […]
I’ve been looking forward to this weekend for awhile. It’s my first three day holiday weekend off since I started a new role with my work. I started the weekend being active meeting friends for a hike. Running outdoors is sooooo much better than running on the treadmill. I’ll take trail running any day. The […]
savoring and slowing down during the holiday season by being less connected to my phone and internet. I post pictures on social media, but I try not to linger and scroll mindlessly taking a trip to the mountains to play with snow and experiencing our own version of California winter planning our holiday […]
Even though we love to eat fresh, home cooked meals whenever we can, I also prepare for those times when the husband and I get home really late in the evening and just want to eat something that comes from the freezer. Some of our frozen food staples are thin crust pizza, veggie burgers and […]
My toddler is starting to show interest in cooking. He watches me whenever I’m in the kitchen, cooking, baking and prepping. Mama, what’s that? I’m cutting onions. I love onions. I want some. (Grabs raw onions and take a bite. Sames goes for cauliflower, tomatoes and any fruit he sees me cutting). Weekends are […]
