In January, we took a road trip to Palm Springs and rode the aerial tramway to go see and play with snow. There were 3 cars total on this road trip, so it was a big group with my sisters, brothers and kiddos. For my brothers and my little guy, this was their first time […]
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 […]
having a surprisingly busy week and month, more than I anticipated or prepared for getting a mani and pedi. When I feel depleted at the end of the week, I always make sure there is something I’m doing to take care of myself and getting my nails done is one of my go to […]
Here’s what we have been up to lately….. We try to spend a few hours over the weekend to visit my sister, brothers and nephew. We are all grieving my mom’s death differently but for me, spending time with family as much as I can feels good. My mom used to live with my sister, […]
I wanted to share this cake recipe that I’ve made a few times already, in time for Valentine’s Day festivities. This is a semi-homemade recipe because it uses a cake mix, and with the addition of the right ingredients, it transforms into a dense, moist and extra chocolaty cake. It’s the ultimate chocolate […]

Whenever I run early in the morning, I find myself getting hungry for a snack before lunch. I’ll have my normal oatmeal breakfast, have a snack bar mid morning and a late lunch. I would rather have higher calorie and nutrient dense breakfast that will keep me full until lunch. This week I switched things […]
– It is still unusually warm in Southern California, it’s supposed to be 90 degrees this weekend. I hope our Halloween candies don’t melt. Because of the weather, we have been going to pumpkin patches in our sandals, shorts and linen shirts. At least we have stopped using the A/C at night and […]
Hi everyone! I’m Christina, from Hungry Meets Healthy.I was honored to be asked by Lea to write a guest post! Isn’t she the sweetest? Not to mention, she has the cutest clothes! 🙂 So who doesn’t love a vacation? I know I do! As a self-proclaimed foodie, I admit that new restaurants and foods are […]
After coming home from a weekend trip to San Francisco and indulging in the delicious food and eating my way thru the Ferry Building/Farmers Market, I came home with a happy heart and happy belly. I came home excited to cook again, but usually after each of my travels, I come home with a low […]
Hello 2021! Dusting off this good ole’ blog and hoping to document consistently on here again. A lot of life changes coming up in 2021 (…and what a year 2020 was!!!) and even though my preferred way to document life right now is thru Instagram, I want to write more on here too. I want […]
One of the easiest thing for me to make for breakfast is oatmeal. It’s even easier when it’s prepared ahead of time. I try to make a few dishes on Sundays, I call it my Sunday-prep-time, for us to eat throughout the week. Now that the temps are heating up around here, it is best […]
Passing the time….. I’ve started my maternity leave this week and the house is cleaner than ever. Chris and I have been working non-stop to clean everything and get things ready for when the baby comes. It sometimes feels like it is Christmas Eve. I will have the biggest gift and blessing right around […]
This year’s Halloween festivities was a little different from the years past. With a growing little pumpkin inside my belly, I avoided our annual trip to haunted houses and scary mazes, and opted for a more kid friendly (more calm) environment. It was our first time attending Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland and it did not […]
