Chocolate Birthday Cake. Making this triple chocolate cake for my husband’s birthday made me happy. Last year I bought donuts and stacked them for his cake and this year I really wanted to make a cake for him. He loved it and I saved myself a piece to enjoy for a later time when […]
I love doing these posts at the end of the month, a quick snap shot of what happened in the month. As I was perusing my phone for the pictures, I saw a repeated theme, that was FOOD! I’ve worked hard to simplify our life and not over commit ourselves and to keep it simple […]
I loved October. It felt balanced and all around good vibes. Fall décor at the house. Loving the white small pumpkins. We did the Breast Cancer Walk, my brothers and sisters joined me and the weather was great. I’m thinking of framing that palm tree picture I took below. I wore pink shoes, pink jacket […]
I always ask myself at the end of the month, “what did we do this month”?”. I won’t remember off bat but if I look at my instagram account or my Iphone camera roll, it pretty much captures our life in pictures. I made extra effort to be outdoors in September, knowing the colder and […]
Our first Valentine’s Day as a family of three was a memorable one. I’m always mindful of those “firsts” moments, now that our family has grown to three. I know that baby won’t remember his first year, but it’s special to include him in all our celebration and I want to look back on his […]

With summer in full swing, we often have friends and family over at our house to swim every weekend. I’m always looking for quick snacks and dips I can serve to a hungry crowd and something that will be appetizing after being in the hot sun in the afternoon. The original recipe that I […]
Hello friends 🙂 It feels like it has only been a minute since I posted last weekend, yet a week has gone by. I can’t believe it went by so fast. It was raining earlier this week (after I bragged about how it was so sunny during the weekend) so my week started very gloomy […]
Today’s post is The One where I talk about the random things that happened to me this week. I have scattered brain today because I am lacking sleep (big time) from a fun outing last night that involved horror nights, vampires and zombies. It was really fun, so it was worth it…I will post recap […]
Up With The Sun Up with the sun….. For an early run! Looked everywhere for signs of fall And found it under a tree that was thick and tall. A 5 mile run done. Now I’m off to enjoy the rest of the day. *********************** A special day for my dad Happy Happy Birthday to my […]
I’m inspired by quotes I read and love saving them so I can be reminded of them in the future. Picture below was taken at the flower fields in Carlsbad, a full afternoon just enjoying the flowers…..slowing things down.
I was in San Francisco last weekend to attend a friend’s wedding. The day of the wedding started really early. I woke up from my ice cream coma the night before feeling my sugar hangover. I was the first one up for make-up at 7am. Pastries Galore in our bridal suite. My breakfast choice. After […]
I don’t know exactly when something becomes a tradition, but we have been making pizzas in our house quite often recently and it has become our Friday night tradition. The weather is cold right now and when Friday afternoon comes along, all I can think about is resting my feet, putting it up and spending […]
It has been a ruby filled day. I baked with pomegranates, ate cranberries for breakfast and I am currently wearing a ruby dress, blogging from our ruby themed hotel room. I received the granola from my granola exchange this week. I love it. I love the tartness of the dried cranberries. We have relatives visiting, […]
