{being inspired} – spring colors

04/14/2014 2 Comments

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 out can turn my attitude around. I have renewed energy for this season to come.

Blue tint mason jars and bright yellow flowers, coming home to this beauty just makes me feel good.

High Altitude: 16 – 17 weeks

We announced our pregnancy to close family and friends when I was 16 weeks pregnant. It was so exciting to share the news with everyone and it was great to see everyone’s reaction and surprised faces. I remember thinking at this point that I finally have a baby bump (when in reality and after looking […]

Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl watching Planet Earth Live was really fun. It was my first time going to the venue and I’m glad I finally went and even better, went to a Planet Earth Live event. We saw spectacular footage from the BBC television series Planet Earth, first time high-def is being shown […]

{recipe} Italian almond crusted salmon

I made this almond crusted salmon twice during the month I did Whole 30. I bought 2 Costco size salmon, that was easily about 10 servings each. I bake it all at once and then portion and freeze half of it. I love salmon and usually bake/grill them with just a simple oil, salt & […]

{recipe}: chicken enchilada soup

I hardly make soup for dinner, probably because there is a short window of time when it’s cold here in SoCal and when soup sounds appetizing, and also because I don’t like eating soup leftovers. Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]

{recipe} nutella sugar cookie cups

I made these nutella sugar cookie cups for Amy’s bridal shower. The decor for her theme looked so whimsical and romantic. I wanted to make a treat for her special celebration and I came up with these cookie cups filled with nutella mousse. I’m planning to make them again next week for Valentine’s Day. I’ve […]

{on motherhood} – self care

I’ve only been on this motherhood journey for a year and a half, but I am here 18 months after my first baby with many lessons learned and many thoughts that I would like to organize in a series of posts. These are thoughts that run through my head while doing dishes, while waiting in […]

wardrobe capsule / week 6 – simple accessories

I love wearing simple and minimalist style of jewelry for every day use. I save the large statement necklaces for special occasion. I guess you can say my daily accessories are “barely there”, which is what I love. The items below are the jewelry that I’ve been wearing with this wardrobe capsule. I stopped […]

Italian Wedding Soup

Is it spring yet? I wish. We are having some very unusual weather in SoCal these days. It has been really cold. It was so cold, we went home early from Disneyland because it was TOO cold. I bundled up really well too, Me and my sister staying warm inside It’s A Small World ride. […]
