As my friends and I have gotten older and some of us have started a family, our birthday celebrations have moved towards having day events such as hikes and brunches, instead of the late night partying events during our twenties. I actually really love this since I am a morning person, and I love spending […]
I can already tell that this blueberry crisp will be my go-to summer dessert. I’ve made it several times now, I’ve made it for company and served with a side of ice cream. I’ve also made it as our breakfast for the week. I found this recipe from the Bread and Wine: […]
This week: – we played with chalk after dinner and played outdoor – I bought my first bunch of peonies for the season. I can only get these beautiful flowers around 4-6 weeks in the summer. – I went on a Sunday hike with friends and had a great view of the […]
I’ve been asked many times to list dishes that are in our current dinner rotation. I usually draw blank and can’t get to 10 dishes, usually I remember about 5 dishes right on the spot. But later on, when I browse this blog or look at my recipe boards on Pinterest, I realize all […]

I’m a huge Friends TV show fan. I own collections of DVD from that show and I even have the book that highlighted their last season. I miss that show so much. I still watch the reruns on TV whenever I catch it. If you watch that show, you know that each episode was called […]
Hi everyone….Greetings from Califonia Adventure Park. I am really looking forward to starting off my weekend. It has been a busy week. I was busy with work, busy with running errands, busy being on the phone and emailing wedding vendors. This week, I just kept going and going and next thing I knew, it […]
We had a fun time this Easter weekend with the family. Sunday was my sister’s actual birthday so we headed over to her house for some BBQ celebration. My sister is going on a week vacation with my mom, so we kept the food simple and tried to use up every food they had left […]
I love doing these posts at the end of the month, a quick snap shot of what happened in the month. As I was perusing my phone for the pictures, I saw a repeated theme, that was FOOD! I’ve worked hard to simplify our life and not over commit ourselves and to keep it simple […]
Another fun weekend spent on the hiking trails. Today, we had a bigger group that joined us on our hike. It was a lot of fun. Working those leg muscles to get on top of the hills. Thanks to my friend Irene and Amy for the pictures. I love doing fitness activities with a group […]
I rocked 80s gear this weekend. My friends and I ran the She Runs LA 10K race (my 2nd consecutive year of running this fun race) and it was a blast. It was a new course, new location and new theme = extra excited!! The race festivities and concert were at Paramount Studios in L.A. […]
I can’t believe how fast this month is going. Part of the reason that I wanted to do December daily is to help me be in the moment, appreciate all the festivities and also to have a journal for this month. I would say that my intention is working….(except for the writing it down and […]
enjoying the warm weather at the beach. We are exploring different toddler friendly beaches in the area eating a ton of peaches. I buy a full tray and we eat them throughout the week. I also made my favorite fruit crisp recipe with cut up fresh peaches and added shredded coconut with the oats […]
