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 […]

Landline by Rainbow Rowell This book follows a couple and their relationship, from the day they met in their college years to their married years. The main character Georgie, is realistically portrayed and I can relate to some of her inner dialogue (especially the subject of being a working mom). The […]
My family is in the midst of preparations in welcoming the New Year. Every year as the new year approaches, part of our tradition is to have an assortment of fruits in the house. 13 variety of fruits to be exact. Having 13 different kinds of round fruits during New Year’s Eve is said to […]
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. […]
After a week of all work and no play, I was looking forward to this past weekend because it would mean that we will be doing all play, all day. On Saturday, we spent the whole day at KIIS FM’s Wango Tango concert at the Home Depot Center. […]
Because there are no words to describe the beauty of this place, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Pearl Farm was the most secluded island we stayed in during our honeymoon. It felt like a private beach playground. Watching the sunrise. Happy Friday!!
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (4/5 stars) This story was beautiful, haunting and suspenseful. It was a quick read, perfect for a day at the beach. I had goosebumps when the twist was revealed and also felt sadness. Maybe I will go back and re-read in the future….just to figure out if there […]
I have to admit, after spending a few weeks in paradise, I felt some post vacation blues after we returned. It didn’t help either that it took a week before my food allergies was gone and I felt normal again. Being at the beach or doing some sort of water activity for almost a month, […]
