As a new mom, my philosophy on fitness has changed, it is much less about a workout, and much more about a lifestyle. I want to feel strong and feeling good, and more importantly, I want to have fun no matter where I am. It took awhile to get to this place and I appreciate […]
I get a lot of comments that my little man is a good eater. We are now on our second day care facility and both teachers from the schools have told me that he is a good eater. I’m lucky that he eats everything I give him, he pretty much eats the same food that […]
As the weather heats up, my time in the kitchen is becoming less and less. I try to make Sunday the designated cooking day, which means, it’s the hottest day in the house. But there are times where I really want to bake and can’t get myself to turn on the oven when I get […]
“because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing”. (journaling card for project life from Studio Calico) We are making great memories this summer. We are definitely feeling the heat and try to find ways to stay cool, like visiting the library during story time, grilling indoors if dad’s not home and […]

I did a lot of fun things this weekend. I got to hangout with my L.A. blogger friends, spend time with family and a much needed stress relieving night out where Chris and I spent laughing our butts off watching Adam Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel at the Wiltern Theatre in L.A. I cooked and I baked too. […]
I woke up bright and early today excited to run at the park. The mornings have cooled down a little so it is actually nice to run outside without the scorching heat that I had to battle during the summer months. 4 Mile run = 3 mile jog and 1 mile alternating (1 min walk/1 […]
I realized early on in this motherhood journey, that if I don’t take care of myself, life is going to be tough for me and for everyone else living with me. I get cranky and moody. I remember a time during my maternity leave and I was staying home alone with the baby, I would […]
We started our trip to Mammoth before the crack of dawn this year. Chris and I had a 4am wake up call. Our friends met us at our house and we left by 6am. We bypassed L.A.’s morning gridlock and drove thru Mojave a few hours later. We passed by the airplane graveyard. I thought […]
It’s a scorcher today. What is going on with the weather? The temperature hit 100+ degrees in Orange County this weekend and today too. Once I got to work, I planned on staying inside until it cooled down when I to go home. I woke up bright and early this morning very excited for breakfast. […]
We are determined to have at least one date night every month this year. We have at least one night a month where we have a babysitter , so we are planning ahead so our date nights can happen. No more spontaneity once you become parents, ha! This date night was planned and on the […]
I don’t know exactly when something becomes a tradition, but we have been making pizzas in our house quite often recently and it has become our Friday night tradition. The weather is cold right now and when Friday afternoon comes along, all I can think about is resting my feet, putting it up and spending […]
