I had a wonderful birthday celebration yesterday. Thank you to everyone who greeted me and sent birthday wishes my way 🙂 Normally, I would plan to travel around my birthday, but with the wedding and our trip to Mexico being a month away, we decided to stay local. It was low key, relaxing and just […]
Our Easter Sunday was spent relaxing all day. The Easter Bunny did visit my nephew Jonah and brought him some goodies. This is Jonah’s first Easter (he is 6 weeks old) so the Easter Bunny had to warm-up to him. Can we be friends Jonah? Hmmm, let me think about it first? Did you bring […]
What do I consider sweet celebrations? A whole day of spending quality time with my family and enjoying some sweets and some celebrations. This weekend my nephew Jonah is one month old. Look how chubby his face has become. My teeny tiny little chub chub. This is his favorite sleeping position. My younger sister Berna […]
You know summer is on it’s way when you have fresh, sweet and juicy pineapples at the farmers market. We have been enjoying pineapple the last few weeks and it inspired me to make this dish. I love eating pizza but I don’t like the bloated feeling I get afterwards. I made my own healthier version […]
Another fun weekend in the books. What a great way to start the month of April. Chris’s bachelor party was this weekend so I stayed busy by planning some fun activities with my girlfriends.

I’ve learned to stream line my morning routine and I feel like I’m back to my old self and my active lifestyle. I’ve consistently made it to the gym first thing in the morning the last few weeks. Woohoo! One of the things that I’ve done to stay sane in the morning is to do […]
thinking January was a loooong month. I’m ready for February and all the hearts and chocolates baking banana chocolate bread. Rainy days are our baking days, and we’ve had many rainy days in the past week going to the Zoo. It was cold and wet and we jumped thru a lot of muddy […]
A few weeks ago, I cleaned out a ton of boxes in the garage. I’m trying to sort everything out, clean house and make a dent in organizing all the stuff I’ve kept all these years. I kept my bib from my first half marathon race in Las Vegas. Ever since I found it, I […]
My nephew Jonah is now a 1-year-old big boy. He had a party and we celebrated Sesame Street style. The birthday boy was in a celebratory mood. Look at how happy he looks here 🙂 We all signed a huge birthday card for him….something he can read and enjoy once he is old enough to […]
After a week of being in the hospital, my mom is back home with us. She was discharged yesterday after her tests came out negative. We are still watching her very closely. She will continue to see her doctors regularly and soon she will be wearing a heart monitor device so the doctors can keep […]

Our household loves to eat fish. We have a separate freezer in the garage just to hold frozen fish and lobster. Diving is Chris’s hobby so we constantly have fresh caught fish supply. Besides grilling fish (our favorite way to prepare it), I wanted to try other methods in preparing them. Growing up, I loved […]
