We had a fun time this Easter weekend with the family. Sunday was my sister’s actual birthday so we headed over to her house for some BBQ celebration. My sister is going on a week vacation with my mom, so we kept the food simple and tried to use up every food they had left […]
Ever since I turned my calendar to the month of February, chocolate has been on my mind. Everywhere I go, there’s chocolate in my face. The stores are filled with chocolate displays for Valentine’s day even before January ended. Since I know I will be enjoying some decadent chocolate desserts this week, I wanted to […]
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 […]
After 15 hours of sleep total (not consecutive) and 8 cups of fresh ginger tea, I am feeling much better. I just rested, took a lot of vitamins, drank a lot of liquids and I think that’s all I needed. I was really looking forward to a blog event scheduled in San Diego this weekend, […]

– 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 […]
So it has been 10 days since Halloween and I still have a large Costco size bag of candy in my pantry. I don’t know how to get rid of all that candy, probably have the hubby bring it to his co-workers, but I do know what to do with the leftover candy corns. I […]
I made my annual summer bucket list last week, and we crossed off one of the item I’ve always wanted to do as a family, which was to watch movies at the park. Our little man is now old enough and (has the attention span) to watch a full length movie. We figured this summer […]
I’ve got to be honest, even though I am physically here at home getting ready for our wedding, mentally, I am already in Mexico. If you go inside my mind right now, these images are what you will see. I’ll have the pictures do all the talking. We are so close that I can almost taste and feel […]
I love baking. Whenever I am in the kitchen baking, I go to my relaxing place, where I have the music in the background and I breathe the sweet aroma swirling around me. I bake all year long. But throughout the year, I bake mostly healthy treats like batches of snack bars here and there, […]
This past weekend, we headed to the beautiful Kern River area and set up tent at a campsite right next to the water. We went water rafting. We got thrown off our raft after we hit a rock and went down this rapid on my back. Ouch! It wouldn’t be camping without making any smores. […]
Happy Thanksgiving week. I’m excited to spend time with family and friends as we celebrate Thanksgiving day on Thursday. I’m lucky to have majority of my family and friends nearby. We get to celebrate holidays together, which makes it more special. Hubby and I used to drive all over town to celebrate Thanksgiving at […]
