It was a scorcher today and I wished I could have eaten ice cream for all my meals, but alas, I need nutrition so ice cream will have to wait, maybe for dessert later. Lets get straight to it…these are my eats for today. I had a soupy oat bowl today, I was a little […]
I am all about short cuts on days where life gets really busy, and that includes short cut on food preparation. I do my best to have at least 2 servings of vegetables every day. I usually eat vegetables with my lunch and dinner plate. Frozen vegetable packs are a staple in our freezer because […]
Last Saturday, I attended the “Be Fit and Pain Free in 2011” event hosted by Kathy Kaehler and sponsored by Salonpas Pain Relief Patches. SALONPAS is a pain patch with NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) medication you can put on your body for relief. So instead of taking an aspirin or ibuprofen, you can just put a […]
The last few weeks I have enjoyed the fresh harvest of pomegranates. I was picked by POM Wonderful as 1 of 100 to host a POM Party in celebration of the pomegranate harvest season. Fresh pomegranates are available only from September to January, but the delicious, nutrient-rich juice is obtainable year-round. I have been eating, […]

Happy Thanksgiving week. I’m excited to spend time with family and friends as we celebrate Thanksgiving day on Thursday. I’m lucky to have majority of my family and friends nearby.

Anytime there is a window of time that we can travel, we jump on the opportunity to do it. Three day holiday weekend coming up? Why not go on a road trip. We headed away from Orange County and drove north along the Pacific Coast highway. First stop on the road trip is the Danish […]
(this picture has nothing to do with my list, except I wanted to take a picture of the current popular books while at Costco) Currently I am in the season of life where I am loving reading more than anything else. I want to read more than I want to watch TV and I look […]
Ever since the food marathon that is called Foodbuzz Festival this past weekend, I have been craving a lot of fruits and vegetables. Well, more so than usual. I have been really busy since coming back from the trip, catching up on work and study. I still don’t feel like I’m caught up with my […]
We are determined to have at least one date night every month this year. We have at least one night a month where we have a babysitter , so we are planning ahead so our date nights can happen. No more spontaneity once you become parents, ha! This date night was planned and on the […]
using my camera and forcing myself to use the timer so I can be IN the pictures, instead of taking the pictures enjoying our Cali winter, with 80 degree weather and insanely grateful for it praying that we don’t have brush fires since the weather is so dry watching Breaking Bad marathon. I didn’t […]

I think I went thru some kind of post holiday withdrawal. Holiday withdrawal + sugar withdrawal = not good. I’ve been feeling blah all week. All the Christmas decorations have been taken down and packed away until next year 😦 It was a sad sight when I saw all our neighbor’s Christmas trees left on […]
