Even though we had a rainy St. Patrick’s Day weekend, I know that Spring is on its way. Look what’s blooming now in my garden. Even though I have neglected my garden recently, I haven’t had time to do some weeding and I go for days without watering the flowers because of my busy schedule, […]
Most of the time, I am the one that cooks our meals. I enjoy looking thru cookbooks, magazines and especially blogs for recipe inspiration. I find it fun to plan ahead our meals for the week and I especially enjoy going grocery shopping. I just love to be around food, period. But the husband also […]
I love the time in between Christmas and New Year, my friends and family are usually off of work and it’s the best time to spend time together before we welcome the new year. Chris was on vacation for a week. We were able to enjoy our days doing something outdoorsy, like hiking. When evening […]
I hope you are having a good weekend. Mine has been fun with all sorts of outdoor activities (my forehead is a little darker that it was last week). It is very windy right now too, the Santa Ana winds are blowing full force. I don’t mind the wind, I’m just glad there are no […]
Happy Halloween Eve! We had our Halloween fun this weekend. We attended the annual Halloween event at Chris’s work. His and hers costume. Chris was the Green Hornet and I dressed up as Cave Woman (but everyone thought I was Wilma from the Flintstones). Both our costumes had to be family and kid friendly so […]

One of my favorite snacks in the afternoon is greek yogurt with nuts, fruits or granola. I’m also trying to add different variety of greek yogurt, and using plain yogurt instead of the flavored ones. I find that a little hint of honey goes a long way. Recently, I made a grain free granola. I’m […]
baking with my little man. We made breakfast granola, next up…cookies making new friends in our neighborhood and getting invited to their community’s winter festival having some fun at work. I helped decorate gingerbread cookies that we are selling for charity bake sale playing with snow, riding a carriage, seeing Santa, petting animals and […]
I can already tell that this blueberry crisp will be my go-to summer dessert. I’ve made it several times now, I’ve made it for company and served with a side of ice cream. I’ve also made it as our breakfast for the week. I found this recipe from the Bread and Wine: […]
Thank you everyone for all your sweet comments on the engagement pictures sneak peek. I received a few emails with funny comments from friends. Funny comments such as “Oh go get your own barn”, “The pictures are channeling Bella and Edward in the woods” and “Keep the boots on, if you know what I mean”. […]
A few weeks ago I participated in Rebecca’s bake sale to raise money for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I donated 2 jars of customizable granola for the sale. The 1st & 2nd highest bids won the granola. I am a coconut lover but I understand not everyone is fond of coconut like me. So […]
I took a break from going to my Mom’s book club this summer, the schedule just didn’t work out, but I’m back. All The Light We Cannot See was the selection for the month, although I didn’t finish the book in time, I still had fun meeting with mommy friends, eating pizza and getting […]

He loves to drive the big […]
