The sun is shining and the weather is warm around here. It doesn’t feel like October, but the calendar says it is. We are having weird weather where it is still very warm during the day but it significantly cools down in the evening. Oddly, it’s still warm enough that I could have gone to […]
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 […]
I woke up to a beautiful weather outside. Even though I wanted to stay in bed and sleep in, I knew I had a busy day ahead of me so I wanted to get out and do some light activities. I have trouble motivating myself to go out of the house for a workout on […]

I love bite size food and really loved it when desserts come in mini size. I just love the thought of being able to take a bite and savoring it, without the guilt of not finishing it when the portions are too big. They say the best bite is the first one. I first discovered […]
Thank you to California Grown for encouraging me to connect with California growers and encouraging California consumers to “Choose California Grown” when they can. I buy most of our produce from our local farmers market. Ever since I’ve made an effort to buy locally, I’ve gained knowledge of the different seasonal items that are available […]

I love hosting parties for many different reasons, but one of the reasons is the process of creating a dinner menu. I like […]
enjoying the warm weather at the beach. We are exploring different toddler friendly beaches in the area eating a ton of peaches. I buy a full tray and we eat them throughout the week. I also made my favorite fruit crisp recipe with cut up fresh peaches and added shredded coconut with the oats […]
Tessemae’s Salad Dressings – I found this dressing in January and I think I am on my 7th bottle already. My favorite is the Southwest Ranch flavor and I’m on my 3rd bottle now. The ingredients are very simple and all real food. It packs a lot of flavor and a little goes […]
Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl watching Planet Earth Live was really fun. It was my first time going to the venue and I’m glad I finally went and even better, went to a Planet Earth Live event. We saw spectacular footage from the BBC television series Planet Earth, first time high-def is being shown […]
listening to Shonda Rhimes audio book Year of Yes. She reads the audio book and I love it when authors do that. She’s inspiring and I feel like I’m listening to a girlfriend giving me advice about life and being a working mom hiking by the beach. I see a lot of hiking […]
There is something in the air that made me crave rich and thick soup for dinner tonight. Oh, I think it has something to do with the cooler weather and early sunsets and that fall is here. I get off work later than most people and currently have a long commute home. Most nights I […]
