One of my main goals each summer is to spend a lot of time outdoors. I’m also proactively planning most of our activities on the weekends. I have a list of things we want to do and feels good to cross off each one as we do them. I love list making and I love […]
We had a wonderful 3-day holiday weekend. Here are 10 things I want to remember during our 4th of July weekend. #1 – Hubby and I both had Friday off for the holiday. Since we just got back from our vacation last Monday, we only had to work 3 days during the week. Woohoo! #2 […]
We had a wonderful Easter celebration this past weekend. We invited our family over and had a BBQ/lunch gathering and the weather was wonderful, perfect for dining al fresco. 1 / First time giving H an Easter basket. I don’t remember what we did last Easter, but I didn’t have a basket for him. The […]
I used to be indecisive, until I had baby. When you are a new mom, there is no time for being indecisive, you just do it and hope it will be good enough. It is good enough, because it was your best at the moment. So pre-baby, I used to take weeks to decide […]
Summer. is. over. (not the weather, but the activities) We had our families over for a pool and barbeque party. My niece Jazzy is a water baby. She has been known to stay in the pool until 8pm. This little lady loves swimming. The weather was blazing hot, so either you had to be in […]

Any day that ends with red velvet cake is a good day for me 🙂 Yesterday’s photo shoot flew by so fast, as fast as the bugs flying around us while taking pictures. Lets get started with the prep. It took me an hour to get ready, of which 50 minutes is managing my thick […]
At the beginning of the year, I told myself to try a new recipe every week. Any recipe, whether as complicated as baking bread from scratch, to dinner recipes and as simple as simple side dish or a smoothie recipe. It’s just a simple challenge that I try to do, to avoid ruts in the […]
In January, we took a road trip to Palm Springs and rode the aerial tramway to go see and play with snow. There were 3 cars total on this road trip, so it was a big group with my sisters, brothers and kiddos. For my brothers and my little guy, this was their first time […]
I love to take pictures and for years, all those pictures just stayed in my computer hard drive. How sad is that? Now, I find ways to be creative in displaying pictures all over the house, besides, you know, the typical picture frame. I’m starting to collect photo magnets using my instagram pictures. I order […]
It was just a year ago that our little bundle of joy came into our lives It has been a whirlwind of a year, a year of joy and a year full of happy memories. I keep reminding myself to write down his birth story so I don’t forget the small details, but I still […]
I love wearing simple and minimalist style of jewelry for every day use. I save the large statement necklaces for special occasion. I guess you can say my daily accessories are “barely there”, which is what I love. The items below are the jewelry that I’ve been wearing with this wardrobe capsule. I stopped […]
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 […]
Another fun weekend has past and another week has begun. I hit the gym this morning for a 30 minute HIIT workout on the treadmill. I want to incorporate more HIIT workouts again (like I did during the months leading up to the wedding). It really helped me tone up. I love doing HIIT workouts because I […]
