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 was just a year ago that our little bundle of joy came into our lives It has been a whirlwind of a year, a year of joy and a year full of happy memories. I keep reminding myself to write down his birth story so I don’t forget the small details, but I still […]
I make it a habit to drink a big cup of water before bed. But the last few nights, I have been waking up in the middle of the night because I had to use the bathroom and usually it is hard to go back to asleep. I try to read a book or listen to instrumental music on my […]
I tried a new cupcake recipe and I’m glad I found this in time for summer. We have a lot of social events we are looking forward to this summer, which makes me excited to see our friends and family, as well as bake new treats to share. I love experimenting in the kitchen, and […]
Instead of making New Year’s resolutions, I thought it would be a better idea to choose a word for 2014. My one word for 2014 is CHOOSE. I decided on this word because I feel that there are a lot of things that I can’t control BUT I can choose on how I react to […]
We had a fun and very busy weekend. I hope you had a fun weekend too. I’m a creature of habit. I love structures and routine so I don’t mind Mondays too much because that’s the beginning of our weekly routine. My Monday morning gym routine –> 35 minutes HIIT treadmill workout. Done! Breakfast was […]
Thank you so much for the sweet comments on the pregnancy announcement! We are so excited to be on this exciting and happy journey and we can’t wait to meet our little one in March. I have been journaling from the very beginning of the pregnancy. it’s just a matter of transferring what I wrote […]
It has been that kind of week where I am just craving carbs and can’t get enough of it. When I do eat a lot of carbs, I make sure that I eat healthier carbs by choosing whole wheat or whole grains when I can. For breakfast, I made pancakes using Kodiak Pancake mix. Eating […]
I made it to the gym early this morning and took Body Pump class. It was my first time doing the new release, which was launched at my gym two weekends ago. I like the new release because there’s a lot of variety. I actually finished the bicep track, when normally, I would have to […]
It was definitely a pancake weekend for me. I made pancakes twice, on back to back mornings. I enjoyed them after the hike on Saturday and also made them the following morning. I normally don’t eat pancakes for breakfast because they don’t satisfy me. I can eat a plate full, be stuffed and feel hungry […]
