I’m a huge Friends TV show fan. I own collections of DVD from that show and I even have the book that highlighted their last season. I miss that show so much. I still watch the reruns on TV whenever I catch it. If you watch that show, you know that each episode was called […]
This past summer (and this year in general) has been the best of times. Having returned from a month long travel, both for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and for our honeymoon, island hopping in the Philippines…..I wanted to talk (and put into writing) about why I love to travel and why I always […]

August wrapped up most of our summer activities. We did one last hurrah of back-to-back pool party during this past Labor Day weekend, but after that, we are getting ready to say goodbye to summer. I must say, I forgot how hot it can be during the summer days in our new neighborhood. This is […]
Our household loves to eat fish. We have a separate freezer in the garage just to hold frozen fish and lobster. Diving is Chris’s hobby so we constantly have fresh caught fish supply. Besides grilling fish (our favorite way to prepare it), I wanted to try other methods in preparing them. Growing up, I loved […]
This year was my first year hosting Friendsgiving party and also Thanksgiving party at my house. I love gathering my friends and family and have a night in and celebrate with food. I love hosting parties for many different reasons, but one of the reasons is the process of creating a dinner menu. I like […]
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. We get to celebrate holidays together, which makes it more special. Hubby and I used to drive all over town to celebrate Thanksgiving at […]
We’ve had beautiful weather around here. I am enjoying it while it lasts. Heard there’s a storm coming soon. Admiring the last of the ripe oranges. They are sour though 😦 And enjoying the last of the beautiful plumerias. It might be the last bloom until next season. My mother-in-law gave us a few plumeria […]
Not technically Wordless Wednesday. I gotta say something, always 🙂 These are pictures from the island of Boracay in the Philippines. The island is very small, I think it’s only a few miles wide. One of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. I’ve been to Mexico and Caribbean beaches. When I went for a […]
As the weather heats up, my time in the kitchen is becoming less and less. I try to make Sunday the designated cooking day, which means, it’s the hottest day in the house. But there are times where I really want to bake and can’t get myself to turn on the oven when I get […]
