My mom recently passed away. It was sudden, in a sense, that I didn’t really get to say goodbye when she was still conscious. Our family has been surrounded with love and support the last few weeks, we are grateful for that. This is my new normal, something I have to accept. I sit […]
Merry Christmas Thank you for the love and support. Thank you for reading my blog. I hope you get to spend time with the ones you love!
going in and out of the hospital, to visit my mom. She is currently in ICU. feeling mostly sad this week, in between pockets of joy drinking strong coffee at Urth Café, having breakfast with all my siblings visiting Santa last weekend, wearing our festive reindeer headband watching H sitting on Santa’s lap for […]
My little man loves books. We went to an aquarium once (and were were in an area surrounded by all interesting tanks filled with colorful fishes), and he found himself a little nook where there were a stack of books and sat on the floor and happily read them. He also loves reading time at […]

This past week was a stressful one. The hubby was traveling for work conference, baby was sick and I had major deadlines at work. I had to leave work on time in order to pick up the little man at day care on time. Every minute spent at work had to be super efficient with […]
The readings, the words we spoke…everything in our wedding ceremony had special meaning. It wasn’t traditional, it wasn’t too serious…it was us. We incorporated a few things that was special to us. We tailored our vows with some of our own words. Even though I didn’t meet our officiant until the day of the wedding, we […]
I don’t know about you but I am not ready to let go of Halloween yet. I think I’m going to extend Halloween celebration for another week. This year’s Halloween festivities was so much fun. We went to both Knott’s Scary Farm and Universal Studios Horror Nights. Unfortunately the only pictures that survived are from […]
(this picture has nothing to do with my list, except I wanted to take a picture of the current popular books while at Costco) Currently I am in the season of life where I am loving reading more than anything else. I want to read more than I want to watch TV and I look […]
I know it’s Fall season now, but it still feels like summer in our neck of the woods. No complaints from me though. Today was the first day I baked in months. I can only turn on the oven when it is the coolest in the house, which is first thing in the morning. […]
With the gorgeous summer weather we are having, I think being out is the new in. Don’t you think? The flowers are in full bloom in our front yard and I just can’t help but spend as much time outside before the summer ends. I had a wonderful weekend, it was mostly spent outdoors. On […]
