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 […]

I haven’t done my nails since summer but last week, I wanted to add a little shine and color to my nails. I chose Essie’s Shearling Darling nail polish and I think it’s the perfect holiday plum and hue. Picture taken during a date night with the hubby 🙂
Before I met my husband, I’ve never had fresh and live Christmas tree. I grew up using a fake tree that we re-used every year. I guess it was easier for my dad to rely on a boxed tree that he can assemble easily. Having five girls in the house, he really did not have […]
Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We had a brunch gathering on New Year’s Day at my sister’s house. We ate and chatted while watching the Rose Parade on TV. Which one was our favorite float?….DISNEY!! (of course). I loved seeing the characters walking along side the children, and the fireworks […]
The Opposite of Everyone by Joshlyn Jackson This is a story about a tough divorce lawyer with a troubled past is forced to revisit her childhood when she discovers her estranged mother is probably dead and may have left another child behind. I like books who have strong heroines that don’t take any […]
Being a newlywed, the most common questions you hear are? How was the wedding? How was the honeymoon? How’s married life treating you? When are you going to have a baby? I’ve had my share of conversations with friends and family with all the questions above. Sometimes I give short answers, sometimes lengthy answers, it […]
It’s another scorcher of a week here in SoCal. This year I’m really looking forward to Fall season, more than I’ve done in years past, but it looks like Summer wants to stay awhile longer. I’m normally an outdoorsy girl, but lately, I’ve been overheating from the 100 degrees weather we are having and opted […]
Thank you for your sweet comments on the blog’s new design. I remember when I was little, and I would get excited when I have a fresh new notebook to write on. I would draw colorful and bright flowers on it and would wear out my colored pens. I feel the same way with the new […]
First, I want to thank everyone who gave me ideas on honeymoon locations from the last post. It’s so hard to choose when there are so many great locations. It’s Friday, it’s time for a giveaway!! A few weeks ago I reviewed Julian Bakery’s delicious bread. I made the Banana Grilled Sandwich using their low carb […]
