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 […]

One of my favorite treats that I made this holiday season was a half cookie and half peppermint bark. I know Christmas is over but I’m not over eating peppermint yet. I’ve made these three times in a span of two weeks. I’m a little obsessed, just a little. I think I will be making […]
Last weekend, we drove up to Mammoth (one of my favorite places to go and relax) and spent a few days relaxing at a beautiful cabin surrounded by majestic mountains and fresh air. We go to Mammoth every year, twice this year, and this year’s second trip couldn’t have come at a better time. There […]
POM Wonderful sent me a box of pomegranates. It’s pomegranate season and I have been enjoying making different recipes that incorporate pomegranates. The holiday season is here and I welcomed it with open arms with this festive loaf. This bread is definitely different with nutty taste of pistachios, the unique tartness of the pomegranate and […]
My friends and I have enjoyed hiking at Crystal Cove all summer. Everyone has been busy with their lives that our hikes have been the only time we are able to catch up without interruption. We wanted to get our holiday weekend to an fun and active start so we headed to the beach. The […]
Well hello again, it has been awhile. I have been busy the last several days spending time with family and friends, and taking care of family matters. But the calm is here and my schedule has finally slowed down. I think this is longest time I’ve disconnected from my computer, which at times can be […]
Me Before You by Jojo Moyes This book is about Will and Louisa. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time. I loved this book. I made a […]
I wanted my usual Sunday pancakes today but because it’s Halloween, I wanted to dress it up. I ate bats for breakfast today. Three bats to be exact. I used my chocolate protein pancake recipe and cut the pancakes in half using zip zag patterns to make the bat wings. The idea for the bat […]
