We are 7 days from Halloween and we still haven’t decided on our costumes. Me personally, I own three costumes and will start recycling them this year. We have a high employee turnover at my work that I figured, if I wear a costume I’ve worn 3 years ago, nobody is around to remember […]
Happy Halloween from our baby crab. The picture below was taken during Baby H’s fall festival event at his day care. It was the first time having candy and boy did he love it! I loved that his day care had this evening festivity, we got a chance to meet other parents and see […]
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 […]
Since the adults already dressed up this past weekend for Halloween, it was time for the kids to be their cute alter ego. Princess Tiana from Princess and the Frog movie says hello. My niece has been waiting all month long to wear her costume. Every time I saw her, she kept reminding me that […]

Note from the future: My appetite is definitely back now that I am well into my 2nd trimester. I am still craving salty food. Here’s the journal I wrote about the food I ate during the first few months of pregnancy. I would consider my morning sickness mild, but it was still rough to […]
I hardly make soup for dinner, probably because there is a short window of time when it’s cold here in SoCal and when soup sounds appetizing, and also because I don’t like eating soup leftovers. Well, the first week of January was pretty cold, there was ice on my windshield a few times and consecutive […]
I re-organized my closet and put back only items that I’m currently loving. I noticed that the colors that made it back in the closet had similar color scheme. I am loving neutral colors with lots of blue, grey and stripes. A lot of the tops and bottoms all matches with each other. So even […]
re-committing to writing my “currently” posts weekly. I will look back at these posts years later and really glad that I have some documentation of this stage in life. I was looking at archives from 2 years ago and was a little dissapointed that I hardly wrote about our weekly shenanigans celebrating my birthday […]
Summer is here, or at least that’s how it feels like the last few days. The weather is so beautiful today, and because I am working on a holiday, I feel like am missing out. I should be outside having a picnic or frolicking at the beach. I had a very fun weekend hiking at […]
Here are some of my favorite things lately: Canyon Bakehouse Gluten Free Bread – I eat this bread toasted and then put half of an avocado on top with a little sprinkling of salt most mornings. I eat half before I workout and then eat the other half with my eggs after working out. […]
In 98 days, I will be running the inaugural Disneyland Tinker Bell Half Marathon. My first and only half marathon race so far was in December 2009 at the inaugural Rock N Roll Las Vegas. I wanted to stay local this time around. I couldn’t be more excited to be training for a race that […]
My nephew Jonah is now a 1-year-old big boy. He had a party and we celebrated Sesame Street style. The birthday boy was in a celebratory mood. Look at how happy he looks here 🙂 We all signed a huge birthday card for him….something he can read and enjoy once he is old enough to […]
