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 […]
I’ve never once considered making my own bread, that is until I started dating my hubby and he made me a home made bread. He used a bread machine to make the dough and I watched how easy it was to make delicious bread at home. Ever since then, we’ve made many breads at […]
I am in love with all the spring season colors that are popping up right now. This time last year, I was in survival mode taking care of a newborn that was only a few weeks old. This year, I can appreciate my surroundings so much more. It’s amazing how better sleep and consistently working […]
I’m surrounded with so many signs of springs. New flowers and pretty blooms, burst of yellow colors everywhere like these lemons I purchased at Costco. I wish we had a lemon tree, but since we don’t, I’ll be happy purchasing them at the farmers market or Costco. Any recommendations for lemon recipes? I think I’m […]

It’s that time again, the Orange County Fair is back for it’s annual summer fun. We took advantage of the $2 admission on Sundays and headed out to the fair around 11am. This weekend was opening weekend so even though it was packed, it wasn’t as crowded as usual. Ironically, most of the food I […]
There is something in the air that made me crave rich and thick soup for dinner tonight. Oh, I think it has something to do with the cooler weather and early sunsets and that fall is here. I get off work later than most people and currently have a long commute home. Most nights I […]
I haven’t been cooking or baking in the last few weeks, it is just too hot around here and I get sweaty just thinking about me standing in the kitchen. There have been lots of Trader Joe’s salads, sandwiches, fish tacos and anything that can be cooked or re-heated on the toaster oven. I recently […]
Weekends are for waking up late and then making almond flour waffles to start out your day. Weekends are for being at the pool all day. Weekends are for spending time with my niece and being surrounded by her cuteness all day. Weekends are for enjoying ice cream. Weekends are for long and leisurely runs […]
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger This book has been on my to-be-read list for a long long time, since I’ve watched the movie in 2009. I loved the story then and love it even more after reading the book. Even though I already knew the plot, I still had tears while […]
I was excited to wake up today because we had a special family event to go to AND because I was excited to try my new cup of pumpkin pie that I picked up this week. Pumpkin pie in a bag Pumpkin Pie coming right up. The coffee aroma filled our dining room and I […]
As I write this post, I have “Somewhere over the Rainbow” by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwoʻole playing in the background. It brings me back to the exact moment as I walked down the aisle beach. Since Chris and I already had our first look and our moment together before our walk down the aisle, we were […]
Me, my mom and my two sisters left our hotel early in the morning to board the first boat out to the wedding venue. We arrived at the wedding venue at Las Caletas after forty-five minutes on the boat. We were immediately escorted to the bridal casita, where we relaxed until it was time to get […]
