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 […]
What took me so long to post a salad recipe in January? I mean, are we all detoxing from the sugar rush of last year’s holiday season? I know I am. I’m still trying to kick the habit of eating sweets every afternoon, even if it’s a mini-size chocolate treat. I find that if I […]
enjoying taking mine and Baby H’s weekly portrait, it’s my #project52 this year. A picture of both of us each week for 52 weeks. So far I’ve only taken phone pictures using the timercam app. debating whether to have a birthday party this year for our little man. We had a big celebration last […]
I’m always on the lookout for food that are toddler friendly, meaning they are bite size, so my little man’s tiny chubby hands can pick up the food and feed himself. He doesn’t like us to help him with food, my Mr. Little Independent. I also try to convert our adult food into bite size, […]
One of the reasons I felt more balanced last year was because I made time to read. There is just something so magical in getting lost in a book, an alternate universe where your imagination can wander and for the time being, being absorbed in a really good story. I had a mental list of […]

Anytime there is a window of time that we can travel, we jump on the opportunity to do it. Three day holiday weekend coming up? Why not go on a road trip. We headed away from Orange County and drove north along the Pacific Coast highway. First stop on the road trip is the Danish […]
After 15 hours of sleep total (not consecutive) and 8 cups of fresh ginger tea, I am feeling much better. I just rested, took a lot of vitamins, drank a lot of liquids and I think that’s all I needed. I was really looking forward to a blog event scheduled in San Diego this weekend, […]
– Something that I keep reminding myself over and over….that it’s ok to say NO – One of my goals for January was to pack my lunch everyday for work. Here are some good ideas if you want to do the same in the future…..lunches to make ahead for work – I love […]
venturing out to a new-to-us beach in Newport area and so happy that it was very toddler friendly. There were no waves and it had a very cool lighthouse and nautical themed playground a few steps away from the beach showering my friend Amy and baby London Elise with love at her baby […]
I haven’t done Wordless Wednesday for awhile so I thought this week would be a good week to do one because I have been itching to travel again. When I do Wordless Wednesday, it’s not technically wordless but more towards a post loaded with pictures 🙂 The heat wave that we had this week is […]
experiencing 100+ degrees weather this past weekend but it didn’t stop me from hanging our Fall wreath on the front door having fun at the annual BBQ/picnic for my dad’s association. H took a nap on the picnic blanket in the shade under a tree, that scene reminds me of my childhood summers playing wrestling […]
I feel like I’m getting my baking mojo back. I didn’t bake much during the holidays, which usually is the busiest time in my kitchen, so maybe I’m making up for it now? It’s also because I’ve organized my pantry and now all my baking supplies are in one place and gathering all the ingredients […]
I am going to continue doing Project Life this year. I jumped right in mid summer last year and have completed plenty of layouts/pages for 2013. I wasn’t as consistent as I would have liked, but I did complete the big moments and the holidays. I enjoy the process a lot and love the finished […]
