We learned that Baby H’s day care is closing, with a month’s notice, we are scrambling to find a new school. Luckily, I was able to tour 2 schools and we are going to choose next week. We are really sad to leave the teachers we’ve come to love. It’s been 9 months since […]
Whenever I see a picture of a flower field, it reminds of books I’ve read where people roam along the fields and during simpler times. I don’t see anything like it here in Cali except in Carlsbad. You can see it from the freeway and very hard to miss, especially during spring season. Although Carlsbad’s […]
I’m inspired by quotes I read and love saving them so I can be reminded of them in the future. Picture below was taken at the flower fields in Carlsbad, a full afternoon just enjoying the flowers…..slowing things down.
I recently started wearing a fitbit flex, it’s a bracelet that tracks your activity for the day. I am tracking my steps, and since I work a desk job, my daily goal is 9,000 steps (I changed it from the factory setting of 10,000 steps). It’s achievable but I have to actively find ways to […]

I’ve been craving chocolate lately. I’m not craving sweets, but I’m craving chocolate. I added a heaping tablespoon of dark chocolate powder in my oatmeal bowl and it turned into this black bowl of oats. Halloween color bowl? I added shredded coconut, granola and nuts to the bowl and had myself a healthier version of […]
Whenever I have a lot to accomplish during the day, I make a list and schedule ahead of time. Planning my whole day has worked for me when it comes to time management. This weekend I have a lot of catching up to do…serious catching up on my studies. The month of September was filled […]
I’ve had a great time celebrating my birthday this week. Thank you to everyone who made me feel loved and special during my birthday. The morning of my birthday, pancakes with sprinkles were enjoyed. Birthday Pancakes! My colleagues gave me a “birthday girl” ribbon to wear. That was fun. It was very sweet of them […]
My weekend was pretty laid back. I have a few trips coming up that I need to prepare and pack for so I kept myself busy with that. As always, lectures, homework and studying have been taking up my free time. Tea of the day was Tazo Tea – Organic Chai. The tea is so […]
We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day celebration. This is our last Vday as a family of two and Chris gave me a very sweet card, in which he signed it from him and baby :), so cute. Valentine’s was celebrated during the whole week, and I was happy to be surrounded by pretty things, love […]
Well hello again, it has been awhile. I have been busy the last several days spending time with family and friends, and taking care of family matters. But the calm is here and my schedule has finally slowed down. I think this is longest time I’ve disconnected from my computer, which at times can be […]
This weekend I enjoyed myself being surrounded by wedding DIY projects and doing arts and crafts. I really love doing creative and hands-on projects like scrapbooking and other crafts. I love that the you can see the finish product in a matter of days. So you get to enjoy your labor as soon as you are done. […]
Here are some of my healthy eats lately. Obviously I am just showing my healthiest meals here for ideas. I also still eat Mexican food and fried fish tacos, pizza and other not so healthy foods—but I try to limit that to weekends. My breakfast staple is always a bowl of oatmeal or some kind […]
