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 […]

Even for someone who enjoys working out, it was still hard to get back into my workout routine after being away from the gym for a week or so while I was sick. I eased into my workout by doing light cardio on alternating days. Once I was feeling well enough to take the intensity […]
I have been reading a lot of textbooks lately and I missed the time where I read books for pleasure. Today got me thinking about that special book in my life. The book that I can read over and over is Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. I lost count how many times I’ve read […]
What do I consider sweet celebrations? A whole day of spending quality time with my family and enjoying some sweets and some celebrations. This weekend my nephew Jonah is one month old. Look how chubby his face has become. My teeny tiny little chub chub. This is his favorite sleeping position. My younger sister Berna […]
I had a rare 3 day weekend this past week. I love my job but I hate that the holidays we have off from work are the major holidays only. I can count in one hand our work holidays, sigh! I was already in celebration mood on Friday, we stopped by the donut shop to […]

I love it. I […]

“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
