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.

We had a fun and productive weekend. We are getting ready to sell our house soon, so we had several appointments to show our house throughout the weekend, which makes it tough to leave the house during the day but we made sure to venture out in the evening. On Tuesday, we had dinner at […]
As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I bought several books to help me prepare for the baby. I haven’t bought an actual book for a really long time, except for cookbooks. I read books on my Nook app or Kindle, much more convenient to have all the books in the one location […]
We visited another location for a possible wedding venue. This location has a spectacular ocean view, surrounded with lots of greenery and very private because it’s tucked in a residential area. This is in the same area as the previous location we visited. The view is the back drop so no need add a lot […]

My workout this morning was a challenging one. My muscles have been missing the muscle burn. For the last few weeks, I have been enjoying more cardio type of workouts….running, hiking and indoor gym workouts. I wanted to try something new to get back into strength training and this DVD is new to me. I’ve […]
