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 […]
There’s no place most festive around our area than Disneyland. Now that Baby H is older, we are able to spend time at disney for longer hours (currently about 4-5 hours before he poops out and needs a long nap). We braved the crowds and spent an evening at disney on a weeknight and enjoyed […]
Hawke first had a glance at Santa at Disneyland. Santa was approaching Main St. with all his elves and there was a big crowd in front of us that we couldn’t really get close to the parade, but we could still see him approaching our area. Chris lifted Hawke so he can see better. […]
The holiday season is upon us. Everything we do has new meaning these days. I find myself saying to Chris, “this is going to be the last holidays where it is just going to be the two of us” or “next year, we’ll be pushing the stroller past these Christmas decorations”. It really helps me […]
This year’s Halloween festivities was a little different from the years past. With a growing little pumpkin inside my belly, I avoided our annual trip to haunted houses and scary mazes, and opted for a more kid friendly (more calm) environment. It was our first time attending Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland and it did not […]

For someone who loves to bake, it’s amazing that I haven’t made a lot of different kind of bake goods. My comfort zone in my kitchen and for using my oven is usually cookies, snack bars, quick breads and muffins. I want to venture out of my comfort zone. I want to try something new. […]
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 […]
Me, my mom and my two sisters left our hotel early in the morning to board the first boat out to the wedding venue. We arrived at the wedding venue at Las Caletas after forty-five minutes on the boat. We were immediately escorted to the bridal casita, where we relaxed until it was time to get […]
Our Vegas fun continues….. I was the last one to arrive in Las Vegas to meet up with the rest of the family. After I arrived at the airport, the husband whisked me away and we dropped off my luggage in our hotel room. Next thing in order was brunch at Grand Luxe Cafe at […]
Whenever I see a picture of a flower field, it reminds of books I’ve read where people roam along the fields and during simpler times. I don’t see anything like it here in Cali except in Carlsbad. You can see it from the freeway and very hard to miss, especially during spring season. Although Carlsbad’s […]
I’m posting these mini sugar cookie cups to revive an old recipe, just in time for Labor Day this weekend. I topped these with fresh mango that were shaped into flower petals. These were refreshing and light as dessert. You can see this post for all the different ways I’ve served these cookie cups. […]
I wanted to share this cake recipe that I’ve made a few times already, in time for Valentine’s Day festivities. This is a semi-homemade recipe because it uses a cake mix, and with the addition of the right ingredients, it transforms into a dense, moist and extra chocolaty cake. It’s the ultimate chocolate […]
It has been a tough week. We are dealing with health issues concerning my mom. She is currently in the hospital right now, recovering and going thru a lot of test. She is in good hands though, she has great doctors and specialists who have been taken care of her and we are praying that […]
