When given a choice, I would like to lean towards gluten free eating. After doing Whole 30 for a month a few years ago, I learned which food triggers reaction to my body, such as bloating and headaches. Sugar and gluten (in that order) is something I try NOT to have on a daily basis. […]
I made these nutella sugar cookie cups for Amy’s bridal shower. The decor for her theme looked so whimsical and romantic. I wanted to make a treat for her special celebration and I came up with these cookie cups filled with nutella mousse. I’m planning to make them again next week for Valentine’s Day. I’ve […]
Hello 2017! I’m excited for what this year is in store for us. The holidays were wonderful and filled with lots of family time. We will be keeping our Christmas decor up until the last day when the Christmas tree has to be picked-up by the trash company. Putting the decorations away always makes me […]
Whenever I travel, and most recently when I was in New York in October, I go out of my way to visit different coffee shops. I wanted to get coffee from local shops and tried to avoid chain coffee shops like Starbucks. There’s plenty of Starbuck’s at home and I can go anytime if […]
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 […]

Most of the time, I am the one that cooks our meals. I enjoy looking thru cookbooks, magazines and especially blogs for recipe inspiration. I find it fun to plan ahead our meals for the week and I especially enjoy going grocery shopping. I just love to be around food, period. But the husband also […]
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 […]
I had another great day hanging out with my friends. Here are pictures of the highlights of my day in Napa. Full recap coming soon.
Last night, Chris and I went to his work event at the aquarium. It was windy and raining the whole night so we were wearing our rainy day clothes. We were served catered Italian food for dinner and we dined next to the fishes. Attending events at the aquarium is fun because we get to […]
I have a goal to read 52 books this year, an average of about 1 book per week. I exceeded that goal last year (because quarantine…) so we shall see where I will end up this year. Here are the books I’ve read in January and my ratings. THE INVISIBLE LIFE OF ADDIE LARUE by […]
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 […]
Our little man is already 2 weeks old. His full name is Bradley Hawke, but we call him by his middle name Hawke. We have been calling him that even before we found out he was going to be a boy. His first week at home, all this baby wanted to do was sleep. I […]
We are going on vacation and heading south of the border! Be… Right… Back… See you next week 🙂
