When given a choice, I would like to lean towards gluten free eating. After doing Whole 30 for a month a few years ago, I learned which food triggers reaction to my body, such as bloating and headaches. Sugar and gluten (in that order) is something I try NOT to have on a daily basis. […]
I bake because I love it. Dare I say that I love baking slightly more than the finished product? I just love the process. But I also bake when I’m stressed. I bake late at night when I should be resting, because it helps me shut down my busy mind and just going thru the […]
I made healthy cookies. They are made without added sugar, the sweetness comes from banana and shredded coconut. I made these to enjoy with my afternoon tea at work and also to bring during my recent trip to Portland. I’m planning to make another batch to stock up my freezer stash 🙂 The first […]
We put the lights up on our tree the night after we brought our tree home. If I really want to, I can finish the tree decorating in one night, but I’ve really enjoyed taking my time and having Hawke be a part of it. I know he won’t remember any of these, but I […]
I am blogging from my brand new laptop, woohoo!!. The hubby gifted me a new laptop and I am so happy that I don’t have to waste soooo much time being on my very old, slow-as-molasses laptop. I have been taking so many pictures of the baby, my old laptop couldn’t keep up and it […]

Santa came early and Hawke opened his first present ever. At eight months old, he is old enough to grab and rip the wrapper and try to eat it. But he is too young to really know what a present really is, so my sweet little guy took his time grabbing each small piece of […]
I will have the remaining Mammoth trip recap coming up soon. We went to a beautiful lake the second day and also saw a deer. It was my first time seeing a deer and it was amazing. If you missed Part I, check it out here. Thank you for the email suggestions on activities in […]
While my friend Cher ran her Disneyland Half Marathon race, she inspired me to do my own workout at the gym. I spent 45 minutes on the elliptical and all I can think of was her having so much fun at the race with Mickey and friends. I think I have the racing itch again. […]
Hello friends 🙂 I hope summer is treating you well and you are staying cool. I’m currently in the middle of the busiest season at work, which is good because it makes my day go a whole lot faster than usual. I’m also making sure that summer does not get away from me. I try […]
Hello 2017! I’m excited for what this year is in store for us. The holidays were wonderful and filled with lots of family time. We will be keeping our Christmas decor up until the last day when the Christmas tree has to be picked-up by the trash company. Putting the decorations away always makes me […]

During the wedding planning process, I was active in a few wedding forums. One of the things I enjoyed reading and are very […]
