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 […]
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 […]
One of my favorite treats that I made this holiday season was a half cookie and half peppermint bark. I know Christmas is over but I’m not over eating peppermint yet. I’ve made these three times in a span of two weeks. I’m a little obsessed, just a little. I think I will be making […]
Tis’ the season for baking and giving 🙂 I’ve started my holiday baking early this year. I actually started baking a week before Thanksgiving. We’ve been doing a local bake sale with friends and family to help raise money for Team For Life and reach our fundraising goals. Not only am I baking for the […]

I have so many recipes bookmarked for this holiday season (mostly cookies and desserts) that I don’t think I’ll have time to bake and cook them all. I guess it’s ok to make holiday cookies in the Spring right? December is full of holiday parties and I am surrounded with indulgent desserts, delicious party food, […]
When I was doing Whole30, I got really good at reading labels and it opened up my eyes. Even my seasonings and dried herb mixes had a ton of ingredients I couldn’t understand or pronounced. I made this taco seasoning back in March and this week I made my second batch. It’s great with […]
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. […]
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 […]
I was one of those women who got pregnant and felt the symptoms of morning sickness right away, I felt off and not myself as early as 4 weeks. This is a snaphot of how I felt the first trimester. Looking back, it wasn’t really that bad. But when you are in the middle of […]
I have read a total of 24 books so far in 2015, with 2 more months to go before the end of the year. I am so proud of this book count. To me, it means, I have made time for myself and made time to read, and made time to do things that […]
I love to take pictures and for years, all those pictures just stayed in my computer hard drive. How sad is that? Now, I find ways to be creative in displaying pictures all over the house, besides, you know, the typical picture frame. I’m starting to collect photo magnets using my instagram pictures. I order […]
Not technically Wordless Wednesday. I gotta say something, always 🙂 These are pictures from the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The island is very small, I think it’s only a few miles wide. One of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Mexico and Caribbean beaches. When I went for a […]
