listening to the loud rain and strong winds outside. The first rainy week this year. being thankful that the whole family is healthy this week, after baby was sick all of last week and then later hubby and I caught the bug going around renewing my annual pass for Disneyland. I’m looking forward to […]
Here are some of my project life pages for the month of January. I take a lot of pictures throughout the week so not having enough pictures is never an issue. It’s actually a challenge picking the amount of pictures to print, so some weeks, I make small collages to fit in all the pictures […]
Our first Valentine’s Day as a family of three was a memorable one. I’m always mindful of those “firsts” moments, now that our family has grown to three. I know that baby won’t remember his first year, but it’s special to include him in all our celebration and I want to look back on his […]
I travelled to Portland a few weeks ago. The purpose of the travel was for pure exploration and to be adventurers. To go to a city where we didn’t know anyone, sightsee and explore a new place and check out the food scene. See, my high school friends and I all love to travel and […]
I made healthy cookies. They are made without added sugar, the sweetness comes from banana and shredded coconut. I made these to enjoy with my afternoon tea at work and also to bring during my recent trip to Portland. I’m planning to make another batch to stock up my freezer stash 🙂 The first […]

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 […]
When I make a batch of pasta, it usually means that I will have plenty of leftovers. Which translate to having leftover dinner as soon as I get in the door after work. I love eating home cooked meals on weeknights. It is even better when they are available in no time Peanut Sesame […]
I was MIA all weekend and for had a good reason. My fun filled weekend was spent in Las Vegas for a friend’s bachelorette party. We left Friday morning to start the festivities and came home late Sunday. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas right? and definitely off the blog 🙂 It was a […]
Here are the items I’ve prepped recently. This baked chicken is a favorite in our house. The little man loves it too, so I bake it in large batches and freeze the leftovers. I first made the recipe when I did the Whole 30, and have made it several times since then. I’ve […]
spending time with grandma and grandpa O and playing games at their house. Uncle Mark was in town visiting. going to a baby shower that was catered by The Habit burger (yummy) with an under the ocean dessert table theme (so cute) going to Mila’s 1st birthday and she was so adorable eating […]
My mom recently passed away. It was sudden, in a sense, that I didn’t really get to say goodbye when she was still conscious. Our family has been surrounded with love and support the last few weeks, we are grateful for that. This is my new normal, something I have to accept. I sit […]
When I was doing Whole30, I got really good at reading labels and it opened up my eyes. Even my seasonings and dried herb mixes had a ton of ingredients I couldn’t understand or pronounced. I made this taco seasoning back in March and this week I made my second batch. It’s great with […]
I travelled to Portland in January and I sorted thru my pictures recently to work on my travel album. I realize I didn’t want to print every picture I took, or the album would come out too thick once finished. Then I got to thinking, I could post a ton of pictures on the blog […]
