I have spent the last two weekends traveling. Which means, I did a lot of laundry and packing and unpacking in between trips. It also means, my workout and my healthy food choices have been inconsistent. I try to pack as much healthy snacks with me while I am away from home and make conscious […]
Since we have a long drive ahead of us to get to the cabin this weekend, I wanted to make these nut bars so we have healthy and filling snacks while in the car or during our long days at the lake. These are hearty bars that are filling and tasty. I made them this […]
The fiance returned this week from his family vacation and fishing trip from La Paz in Mexico. He brought me some neat presents. The bracelet have opal stones on it. It’s the first time I’ve heard about these stones. After the fiance told me it was rare, I went ahead and looked it up […]

As baby H transitioned from pureed food to solid foods to regular table foods, the recipes I made in the kitchen also transitioned to make them toddler friendly. I just made little adjustments to make sure that whatever food I prepared for the hubby and I, that I was able to adapt and feed to […]
All is bright at home. And my backyard 🙂 Disneyland is my playground. As I’ve mentioned before, me and the fiance and our friends have annual passes to Disneyland. Going to Disneyland during holiday season is so magical. It is so festive. Our weather in Southern California has been really really cold. It’s around mid […]
We took a family road trip last week, we drove seven hours north and spent the weekend at one of my favorite coastal town, Monterey, CA. The hubby and I have made a trip there almost every year (except for the year the baby was born), and it was great to share it with […]
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 […]
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. […]

I wish my workout this morning was fun under the sun. But it’s another hot day so instead, it was fun under the shade. Actually it was more like, go walk under trees kind of day. I didn’t feel like running today but I still wanted to be active. So I headed out to the […]
I like to start with #3 on this list when it comes to decorating our home. I’m sad to say that I don’t think there’s one room in our house that “feels complete” since we moved in 2 years ago. We’ve made progress for sure in all the rooms, but I’m really […]
