I’m thankful for sparkling water, it is my daily “fun drink” without any sugar. I’m thankful for podcasts, my commute will never be the same again. I’m thankful for our neighborhood, that the streets are safe and there are plenty of trails for me to walk around. I’m thankful for my husband’s ability […]
I feel so productive when I make dinner in a slow cooker. It feels good knowing dinner is cooking itself. I’m working towards making at least a few crock pot meals several times a month, to include it in my Sunday meal prep. Lately though, I’ve been preparing the ingredients right before bed and letting […]
Around here….. I wrote my 550th post. Whoa, who would have thought I would still be blogging after 5 years. Beautiful flowers are in bloom around our house. I have done zero gardening this year, so I’m quiet surprise our plants haven’t died and even more surprise that they are blooming. We are enjoying […]
My goal is to stream line the process of getting ready for work every day, and I think it would help a ton if I simplify my closet. I wear business professional clothes Mon-Fri, so majority of what’s currently hanging in my closet are work clothes. Casual/weekend clothes are folded in my dresser. I need […]
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 & […]

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 have been watching the Oprah Show for a long time. Whenever I could remember to do it, I would check the ticket reservation page on her website. A few weeks ago, I entered my name during an open window for ticket reservations for the L.A taping of her show after the Oscars. A few […]
Wow, what a great trip we had at Mammoth Lakes this weekend. I will be recapping the trip soon including plenty of pictures. It’s amazing how a 5 hour drive away from L.A. exist a completely different world of just pure nature. I wish we could have stayed longer. But since it’s Wednesday, I thought […]
We had beautiful weather this weekend and we made sure to come out and play with the sun. Last week we went hiking and got wet in the morning rain, but this weekend, it felt like Spring season is on its way. The path along the hiking trails were filled with blooming flowers. What a […]
I try to stock our freezer with healthier treats. You know, for those times when I walk in the door in the evenings and dinner is not ready, and I just need one little snack to tide me over. Not just any snack, but a sweeter snack and eating a fruit will not squash the […]
Weekends are for waking up late and then making almond flour waffles to start out your day. Weekends are for being at the pool all day. Weekends are for spending time with my niece and being surrounded by her cuteness all day. Weekends are for enjoying ice cream. Weekends are for long and leisurely runs […]
I went out for a quick and relaxing run first thing this morning. When I first decided that I wanted to run a half marathon race, I joined a running group to train and learn good running form. I learned the ways of Chi Running. My coach told us once that “effortless running is when […]
