“What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more” – Dr. Seuss I have kept that quote in my head this holiday season. I normally make a Christmas wishlist, a list I make in my head. It helps me answer the questions I get from […]
I spent the afternoon with my niece, taking pictures of her frolicking in the garden. I love taking pictures, a ton of pictures. It’s even better when the subject is so much fun to play with. My sister dressed her up really cute. I wish I had outfits like my niece when I was little. […]
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 […]
Christmas Eve It’s our family’s tradition to celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. Chris and I headed to my aunt’s house (same as last year) for our Christmas Eve party. We had traditional filipino dishes, including a whole roasted pig (lechon). After we ate, it was time to mingle and catch up with everyone at the […]

(this is a test post from my phone. I apologize for any errors in the format) We drove 5 hours away from home and found ourselves in the middle of this. Where the snow meets water. Where I dug out my winter clothes, in the middle of summer, to pack for this trip. I’m blogging […]
The happiest of all holidays is here. This time is so special for us, we get to see our family often and be merry with them, I’m planning to document more throughout this month, so there will be more, BUT short posts in December. At the end of the month, I will compile everything in […]
working…..long hours now, getting ready for maternity leave soon. I’m going on my maternity leave in a month (when I am 38 weeks pregnant), so work has been very busy lately. I’m putting in a lot of hours, training and putting finishing touches on some projects. I am really looking forward to just resting a […]
I was in San Francisco last weekend to attend a friend’s wedding. The day of the wedding started really early. I woke up from my ice cream coma the night before feeling my sugar hangover. I was the first one up for make-up at 7am. Pastries Galore in our bridal suite. My breakfast choice. After […]
Today’s post is The One where I talk about the random things that happened to me this week. I have scattered brain today because I am lacking sleep (big time) from a fun outing last night that involved horror nights, vampires and zombies. It was really fun, so it was worth it…I will post recap […]
We are going on vacation and heading south of the border! Be… Right… Back… See you next week 🙂
I am excited for this week, there are so many good things happening. Feasting, baking, cooking, family time and down time I’m sharing this festive drink in time for Thanksgiving. I made these last year when I hosted Friendsgiving, it was a great touch to have a festive drink ready once the guests started trickling […]
My friend Amy and I ran a fun 10K race recently. We ran the Knott’s Berry Farm (a local amusement park) 10K Coaster Run. This is my 2nd time running this race and since I had a great time last year running with friends, I wanted to repeat it again this year. Getting ready at […]
