I’m adding initials next to items in my “Currently” posts. I want to include the whole family in the posts and the initials will mark who did what. My plan is to create a “year in review” picture book, which will include these posts. attending my brother’s high school choir concert. I haven’t gone to […]
I started this wardrobe capsule on the first week of September, so I’ve been wearing the pieces for 3+ months. I’m planning to start another capsule for the months of January – March/April. Lately, I’ve been forgetting to take pictures of my outfits. I take these outfit pictures at work, in a public bathroom. I […]

I had a rare 3 day weekend this past week. I love my job but I hate that the holidays we have off from work are the major holidays only. I can count in one hand our work holidays, sigh! I was already in celebration mood on Friday, we stopped by the donut shop to […]

I wanted to get out of my comfort zone and make something I’ve never made before. I usually go for recipes that have pictures, so I know what the finish product is suppose to look like, something to compare to. But heck I figured, I know what corn bread and corn muffins look like, no […]
This dish might not look pretty to photograph but I found it delicious. I made it the week after I returned from my Portland trip. During the trip, we participated in a food tasting that lasted about 4 hours (including walking time, but still), it was a lot. Although I enjoyed every sip of my […]
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’s hard getting back to reality, we were spoiled with living in paradise the last 5 days. First thing in order was to buy groceries and food to last us a week, before we leave again next Wednesday. Next was to take the wedding dress to the cleaners. We did a trash the dress session […]
I was excited to wake up today because we had a special family event to go to AND because I was excited to try my new cup of pumpkin pie that I picked up this week. Pumpkin pie in a bag Pumpkin Pie coming right up. The coffee aroma filled our dining room and I […]
