We took a family road trip last week, we drove seven hours north and spent the weekend at one of my favorite coastal town, Monterey, CA. The hubby and I have made a trip there almost every year (except for the year the baby was born), and it was great to share it with […]
For the last two years, I’ve done a bake sale during fall season to raise funds for charity. We fundraise and do the 5K walk every October. As part of my contribution to my team, I like to do a bake sale so I can raise money and entice family and friends to donate to a […]
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 […]

I love making casseroles because I feel warm and good inside whenever I eat them. The hard part is prepping all the ingredients before you throw it all in to bake. The easy part (which I think outweighs the hard part) is the plethora of leftovers for quick dinners throughout the week. I also love […]
On Monday night, the fiance and I planned a simple dinner for Valentine’s Day since we celebrated ahead during our fun weekend in San Diego for Valentine’s weekend. We had a simple salad, whole roasted chicken and dessert on the menu. We both worked on Monday, came home late and started eating around 8pm. I […]
I really look forward to Summer. I feel my best in the Summer. I love the freshness it brings. I love all the bright colors and the long days. I’m more cheerful and the little things excite me. What a great way to get excited for the summer…. by putting my intentions on paper my […]
My friend Amy and I ran a fun 10K race recently. We ran the Knott’s Berry Farm (a local amusement park) 10K Coaster Run. This is my 2nd time running this race and since I had a great time last year running with friends, I wanted to repeat it again this year. Getting ready at […]
We avoided the rush this weekend and picked out our tree on Monday night instead. It seems a lot of people also wanted to do the same thing as the parking lot was full. We really want to make the most of our fresh tree, and knowing that the days in between Thanksgiving & Christmas […]
I started this wardrobe capsule on the first week of September, so I’ve been wearing the pieces for 3+ months. I’m planning to start another capsule for the months of January – March/April. Lately, I’ve been forgetting to take pictures of my outfits. I take these outfit pictures at work, in a public bathroom. I […]
I made a simple pumpkin oatmeal bake on a Sunday afternoon, with the intentions of having it for breakfast for the next 5 days until Friday. Lets just say that by Wednesday, it was all gone. This happened last year, when I was 4.5 months pregnant. The first trimester was over and I was happy […]
I don’t remember the last time I used my big DSLR camera. I didn’t even bring it on our last family vacation. I want to use it more often though and I thought of the excuses I had that was preventing me from grabbing it….and the biggest gripe I had was that it was too […]
