Before I met my husband, I’ve never had fresh and live Christmas tree. I grew up using a fake tree that we re-used every year. I guess it was easier for my dad to rely on a boxed tree that he can assemble easily. Having five girls in the house, he really did not have […]
When my girlfriends and I get together during our annual holiday party, it has become a tradition to give each other small and thoughtful gifts. Instead of bringing one big gift for secret santa gift exchange, we share the love with everyone with our small gifts. After we eat and have desserts and chit chat, […]

I always ask myself at the end of the month, “what did we do this month”?”. I won’t remember off bat but if I look at my instagram account or my Iphone camera roll, it pretty much captures our life in pictures. I made extra effort to be outdoors in September, knowing the colder and […]
Guess who is officially turning a big girl? My niece Jazzy. Today was her last week of Pre-K and we had a celebration with the whole family. Next school year, she will be in Kindergarten and it just made me think about it today, she will no longer be a baby 😦 She is 4 […]
I think I went thru some kind of post holiday withdrawal. Holiday withdrawal + sugar withdrawal = not good. I’ve been feeling blah all week. All the Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away until next year 😦 It was a sad sight when I saw all our neighbor’s Christmas trees left on […]
My goal is to use Sundays as my food prep time for the week ahead (when my kiddo is napping). I am going to plan ahead our dinner menu for the week and do grocery shopping once on the weekend. Here’s what I prep/cooked this past Sunday. Roasted veggies x 2 pans Cooked Eggplant […]
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 […]
It has been a rainy weekend. I’ve stayed in doors for most part, except for trips to the gym in the morning. I love cuddling with this guy. He smells so good, you know, that intoxicating baby smell. I can’t believe a week ago he was in my sister’s tummy ready to enter the world. […]
We had beautiful weather this weekend and we made sure to come out and play with the sun. Last week we went hiking and got wet in the morning rain, but this weekend, it felt like Spring season is on its way. The path along the hiking trails were filled with blooming flowers. What a […]
There’s something about the beginning of Fall that brings structure into most of our lives. I really think it starts in September when the school year starts. The carefree days of summer ends and everyone is back to their schedules and usual routines. I usually have monthly goals for myself but some months they are […]
